The industry started when Frederick Weyerhaeuser invested in the lumber industry. He expanded his business in Minnesota to sawmills and small railroad lines. In 1890, he bought more than 200,000 acres of timberland in central Minnesota. Weyerhaeuser and his partners cut down acres of white pine.

terms of purchase in the trade provided for a discount of 2% for payments made within 10 days of the invocate date. Accounts were due in 30 days at the invoice price, but suppliers ordinarily did not object if payments lagged somewhat behind the due date.

Darren Hall (General Manager of Northeast Lumber) started his 8 a.m. daily production meeting like most days. His meeting routine was to have each of his mill superintendents report on what was occurring in his/her respective area of the mill. Only this day was a bit different than any Darren had ever experienced. Wes, the wood yard Superintendent, had just left the meeting. This was not unusual in that frequently one or two Superintendents might leave the meeting for a few minutes to respond…

It takes three hundred fifty ears of wheat to make enough flour for one loaf of bread, and one bushel (one and a quarter cubic feet) makes…

based on US-Softwood Lumber Ⅳ First comment: Is it appropriate for the US to find an undistorted foreign market as the market benchmark? As stated above, the AB rejected the Panel’s opinion and held that a market benchmark should not be distorted by the government. The US suggested that the American domestic price could be an alternative. With respect to the AB and American opinions, some questions are worth to be discussed. First of all, could the US domestic market be adapted properly? In…

issues? People argue that the ethical issues can be found in the books and cannot be applied in the real life. This is an example of such situation. Bob, who works at the White lumber company gets an order from Bob. Who is one of the important and a loyal customer for the company? They enquire for 600 pieces of 3*12 inches of wood. Which seems like an order for the scaffold plank wood, which is used for supporting buildings. A scaffold plank is deeply inspected and certified to…
