Pacific fir pilings head to New York World's Fair
Pacific Northwest Douglas fir will underpin the 1939 World's Fair in New York, with the Fair Corporation purchasing over $100,000 worth of creosoted pilings from National Pole Treating Company. Some 1260 sticks, 95 to 99 feet long, will bolster the 200 foot Perisphere and 700 foot Trylon as work proceeds on the Expo site and the Administration Building already stands.
