ca. 1956. Alaska Pine, Rayflo plant at Marpole. Alaska Pine also established a research center near its Vancouver, B.C. Marpole Sawmill division lumber operations. A laboratory chemist conducts a product control test on Rayflo-treated oil well drilling mud and records the results. The lab did quality control testing on cellulose products and research on new products. They also concentrated on wood products as distinct from cellulose. The purpose was to discover undeveloped product possibilities from mill residuals. (Rayonier's annual report for 1956)
