comply with their request It was agreed that all Directors would give some thought to a new name for the corporation and that a meeting would be called in the near future to agree upon a new
company name from those submitted Then the Secretary read from the minutes of the Directors
meeting held on June 24 1952 as follows
Mr. Leighton stated that he had received several suggested names for the change to be made in the corporate name and that in his opinion the one nearest to our present name and meeting the approval of all suppliers involved was Western Fibrous Glass Products Company and he asked that the Directors approve this change in the corporate name A motion was made by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. to accept this name for the corporation and this motion was duly seconded and carried
After the reading of these excerpts from the minutes as requested Mr. Leighton then made a motion that the stockholders approve the action taken by the Directors This motion was duly seconded and unanimously carried
Mr. A. W. Burroughs called to the attention of the stockholders that due to the change of name new stock certificates would have to be issued in lieu of those now outstanding and
that at the issuance thereof would be the proper time to have
printed on these new certificates the transfer requirements as
outlined in Article 5 Section 9 of the Corporate Laws Mr. Burroughs then read Article 5 Section 9 of the Corporate By-
Laws so that all present would be familiar with the proposed
change Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. made a motion that the Secretary
be instructed to have the certificates printed under the new corporate name and have printed thereon that the transfer of these
certificates could be made only in accordance with Article 5 Section 9 of the corporate laws This motion was seconded and
unanimously carried Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. stated that due to the very fine
accomplishments of Mr. Gordon Blackwood in the Southern California
territory and also as Sales Manager of the corporation that he be - granted the privilege of purchasing stock in the corporation
pointing out that there were 312.83 shares of stock held by the corporation as treasury stock and placed a motion before the stockholders that in accordance with this request ten 10 shares of this stock be set aside for purchase by Mr. Blackwood when as

PURCHASES
Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. then presented to the Board a offer
to sell to the Western Fiberglas Supply Company the inventory together
with any other equipment that the Dutton Asbestos Company owned that
the Board might see fit to purchase in connection with a proposed ex-
mansion of the thermal insulation activities of the Westam Fibezolas
Supply Company This matter was discussed at length and there were several contingencies which would have to be clarified prior to any acceptance by the Board of Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr.'s offer The principal contingencies being that the Western Fiberglas Supply Company could not according to their contract with the Corning Fiberglas Company take on a Magnesia Franchise without their approval and that the Magnesia Franchise held by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. from the Fhret Magnesia Manufacturing Company Therefore it was agreed thar Mr. G. R.
Dutton was to seek the permission of the Corning Fiberglas Company
for the Western Fiberglas Supply Company to expand their thermal insulation department to the extent of accepting Magnesia as a side line product Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. was to seek the permission of the Ehret Mag-
nesia Manufacturing Company to transfer his Magnesia Franchise to the
Western Fiberglas Supply Company Upon securing the approval of both Companies a meeting of the
Directors of the Western Fiberglas Company is to be called for further
discussion of the matter
Mr. C. A. Leighton then brought to the attention of the Board that the manner in which they were required to handle loans at the Bank when pledging accounts receivable as security was quite cumbersome in that the prior Resolution required the signatures of a Vice President and any other officer to negotiate the loans and he asked that a Resolution be made whereby any loans secured by accounts receivable be permitted when signed by any two officers of the Corporation
Upon a motion duly made seconded and carried the board granted this permission and the Secretary was instructed to supply the Bank with a proper Resolution authorizing the change
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 12:15 P.M.

RECORD OF SALES
The meeting was called to order by J. O. Martin President and Mr. C. A. Leighton as Treasurer presented to each of the members
of the Board a copy of the balance sheet as of September 30 1948 and
the operating statement covering the period July 1st 1948 to September
30th 1948 together with a record of the sales made during this period
by each Salesman showing the gross profit on each Salesman's activities in comparison with their salary commissions and expense accounts The
financial statement was discussed in detail and the statement covering
the Salesmen's activities was carefully scrutinized Inasmuch as the
operating statement showed a net loss of 1,372.29 for the period and
that certain Salesmen were little more than covering their own salary commissions and expense accounts that some action be considered in
connection therewith It being shown that the loss would not have
occurred had certain Salesmen been eliminated from the payroll and their activities and territories been consolidated into the territories
and activities of the remaining Salesmen It was brought out that if Mr. Heinzelman had been eliminated
from the sales force and his accounts and territories turned over to Mr.
Paul at the beginning of the period we should have secured the same
amount of business with a savings of a little more than 5,500.00 It
was agreed that Mr. Heinzelman would be asked for his resignation to
become effective December 31 1948 and that Mr. Paul be instructed to
assume his territory and accounts
ADVANCES
It was then called to the attention of the Board that Mr.
Douglas who is in charge of the thermal insulation department had been
securing advances against future commissions and that it was question-
able whether the amount of sales credited to Mr. Douglas would be suf-
ficient in their gross profits to cover the commissions already advanced
It was agreed that the practice of advance commissions to Salesmen on
anticipated sales and profit be discontinued as of December 31 1948 Mr. G. R. Dutton stated that he would assume the responsibility
of securing Hr Heinzelman's resignation and notifying of
termination R
XMAS BONUSES
The matter of Christmas Bonuses for the office employees was then discussed and the Board agreed that Mr. C. A. Leighton and Mr. G. R.
Dutton should work out an arrangement for paying Bonuses to the office
employees not to exceed 1,000.00 in total The matter of Christmas presents to be distributed by the Company to their customers and prospect-
ive customers was discussed and the same understanding was reached that
Mr. G. R. Dutton and Mr. C. A. Leighton be placed in charge of this activ-
ity but that it should not exceed a total expenditure of 1,000.00
here being no further business the meeting was adjourned

there on after June 30 1948 and returning to each of them the
amount of accrued cash value of the policies as of that date It was decided that this matter be held over to a future meeting for
further discussion
Mr. G. R. Dutton advised the directos that he had drawn
a check to himself in the amount of 2,000.00 as an advance Mr.

Blackwood and also states that these proposals are submitted as being their client's minimum requirements for his continued association with
the company and further requests Mr. Leighton as president to submit these proposals on behalf of their client to the directors of the company In accordance therewith each director was given a copy of the attached letter Each item No. 1 No. 2 No. 3
No. 4 and componant parts A and B of No. 4 and No. 5 which
recites these proposals was read separately and discussed separately and the conclusion of all was that not any of the proposals

Leighton as President of the company and A. W. Burroughs as Secretary be appointed as representatives of the Board of Directors to notify Mr. Blackwood that none of the proposals or their counter parts were acceptable to the company and that inasmuch as the letter states that all proposals included therein were the minimum requirements for his continued association with the company that they request Mr. Blackwood to tender his resignation effective immediately This motion was seconded by E. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously carried
A discussion was then had as to what would be considered proper

ment as granted at the Directors meeting held November 15 1954
based upon the year's activity thus far Mr. Blackwood would be
entitled to this bonus which would amount to 2,500.00 He also
stated that Mr. Blackwood owed the company as an advance granted
him at the Directors meeting held December 20 1956 1,000.00

A. Leighton seconded this motion and it was unanimously carried Mr. Leighton then brought to the attention of the directors
that Mr. Blackwood held ten 10 shares of the company stock and
that in his opinion he would not wish to retain this stock after his disassociation with the company and asked for a motion as to what would be a reasonable and proper offer for his holdings Mr. A. W. Burroughs stated that Mr. Blackwood was unquestionably proportionately responsible for the current value thereof and suggested that we offer him the book value of his stock as shown
by the Statement at December 31 1956 and made a motion to the
effect that this offer be transmitted to Mr. Blackwood This
motion was seconded by J. O. Martin and unanimously carried Mr. Dutton then made a motion that the foregoing in its entirety be transmitted to Mr. Blackwood verbally by Mr. Leighton and Mr.

* 5 Services and Noncompetition by Mr. Blackwood
= ':
Necessarily Mr. Blackwood will agree to give his full time :
to thabudaass of the corporation during his employment period
to act as consultant after retirement and not to compete with
the company either before or after retirement
Pat
In addition to the above proposal Mr. Blackwood has brought to my
attention that there is a real possibility under the present corporation operation
that it will accumulate an undistributed earned surplus in excess of Staty
Thousand Dollars 000.00 May I suggest that closely held corporations
must always keep an eye on the additional tax penalty that can hit their
earnings which are unreasonably accumulated beyond their needs of business
The present law Sections 531 - 537 1954 Internal Revenue Code and
regulations promulgated thereunder now permits a penalty earnings
accumulation up to Sixty Thousand Dollars 60,000.00 Any accumulation over that amount will be taxed an additional penalty tax over and above the normal taxes on corporate earnings amounting to Twenty and half
percent 27 % on the first One Hundred Thousand Dollars 100,000.00 100,000.00 100,000.00
and Thirty and half percent 38 % on the amount over One
Hundred Thousand Dollars 100,000.00 100,000.00 100,000.00 unless the accumulations are
absolutely necessary for the reasonable needs of the business The
regulations and the courts have established that the term reasonable is
most limited in scope This subject in every closely held corporation is
Mr. Chester A. Leighton
-4-
January 22 1957
of major importance taxwise and necessarily must be carefully considered
in arriving at fair compensation arrangements with key working employees
It would be appreciated if you would submit the proposal made on
behalf of my client to the Directors of the company and advise me as to
their decision at your early convenience
Sincerely yours

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held at the offices of the company 739 Bryant Street San Francisco on March 19 1957 at 2:00 P.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following Directors were present C. A. Leighton H. A. Dutton Jr.
J. O. Martin A. W. Burroughs
Mr. Leighton President presided and requested the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting and they were accepted as
read
Mr. C. A. Leighton stated that in accordance with the instructions given himself and Mr. Burroughs they had requested Mr. Blackwood to tender his resignation and tendered checks covering the accrued salary bonus and severance pay to him and that tentatively they had appointed Mr. Robert W. Kelley the Los Angeles sales manager as Los Angeles Division Manager and that thus far he had handled the position efficiently and ask the Board of Directors to make this appointment permanent Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. made a motion to this effect it was seconded by J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton stated that in his opinion we had been remiss in appointing a general sales manager as such and that he would
like to recommend that we abolish the office of sales manager
and appoint a sales management committee his reason being that
}
geographical locations and marketing variations could be taken
into consideration by committee representatives of all divisions
rather than being determined by a sales manager and suggested
that he as president be appointed chairman of this committee having as committee members Mr. Kelley of the Los Angeles division Mr. Drescher of the San Francisco division and Mr. Tagus of the
Seattle division and made a motion to this effect This motion
was seconded by Mr. E. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton stated that he had called this meeting for the purpose of presenting to the directors a letter that had been received by him from Collins & Woolway attorneys with offices at 3729 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles California which read
as follows
On behalf of Mr. Blackwood and in accordance with his conversa-
tion with Mr. A. W. Burroughs on February 28 1957 I am writing
to give you formal notice that Mr. Blackwood desires to sell his
stock in the company at a price of 5,000.00 Please be so kind
as to advise me of the action of the company with respect to this offer at your early convenience
This matter was discussed and inasmuch as the company had already
made an offer to Mr. Blackwood to repurchase his stock at book
value as shown by the December 31 1956 Financial Statement and
they felt this offer was exceedingly fair in that Mr. Blackwood
had received his stock long after the inception of the organization
at its par value of 1,000.00 and in accordance therewith Mr. J.
0. Martin made a motion that Mr. Burroughs as secretary of the
company be instructed to answer Collins & Woolway's letter
stating their original offer to Mr. Blackwood and that this offer
still remain open This motion was seconded by Mr. Dutton and
unanimously carried Mr. A. W. Burroughs then gave each director a copy of the
December 31 1956 semi annual balance sheet and operating statement which was reviewed in detail
The matter of inventory was brough up and considered to be much too high Mr. Leighton stated that the San Francisco
and Seattle inventories were both reasonable but that due to
Mr. McClure office manager of the Los Angeles office resigning
and having been replaced by Mr. McConnell who was not experienced or familiar with our activities the Los Angeles inventory became excessive but that now that Mr. McConnell was thoroughly familiar with the operation this inventory had already been reduced approximately 17,000.00 and that further reductions were being
made daily and that he was satisfied that by June 30th this
inventory would be in line Mr. Leighton then stated that Mr. Blackwood had promised
Mr. McConnell that if he accepted the position at 550.00 per
month that he would be increased in accordance with the progress
he made in assuming the responsibilities required of an office manager Prior to Mr. Blackwood's resignation he had given Mr. McConnell an increase of 50.00 per month and that now he felt
that Mr. McConnell should receive an additional increase and
inasmuch as this increase would exceed the 600.00 limitation as set by the directors at a previous meeting he would like their approval to grant Mr. McConnell an additional 50.00 per month salary This increase was unanimously approved
Mr. Leighton then stated that he had sent notices both to the suppliers and to the majority of customers stating that
Mr. Robert W. Kelley had been appointed manager of the Los
Angeles office to take over the duties of Mr. G. B. Blackwood
recently resigned copies of which are attached hereto There being no further business to come before the meeting
it was adjourned at 4:00 P.M.

Mr. C. A. Leighton President presided and requested the

a letter under date of March 26th 1957 a copy of which is
hereto attached to Collins & Woolway to the attention of Mr. Chaplin E. Collins stating that the company had offered Mr.
Blackwood book value as shown by the balance sheet at December
31 1956 an amount of 2,734.55 which in the opinion of the
directors was the maximum amount they had authority to offer and further stated that for a sale other than company redemption
of stock it would have to be sold as noted on the stock certificates
in accordance with Section 9 of Article V of the corporation's laws
Mr. A. W. Burroughs further stated that he had received
an answering letter from Collins & Woolway dated March 29 1957 by registered mail return receipt requested a copy of which is hereto attached stating in part that in accordance with Section 9 of Article V of the corporate laws Mr. Blackwood gives notice of his intention to sell ten 10 shares of Western Fibrous Glass Products Company's stock at a price of 500.00 per share for cash Mr. Burroughs stated that in conpliance therewith he had notified all corporate shareholders by letter dated April 5 1957 registered mail return receipt requested copies of which are hereto attached but as yet had not received any purchase subscriptions
As further unfinished business Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. inquired as to what had been done in determining a commission incentive to order desk salesmen Mr. Leighton stated that he and Mr. Blackwood had been appointed to set up a plan and present it to the Board of Directors for their consideration but
that in the meantime Mr. Blackwood had tendered his resignation and with the additional responsibility and work accruing to him
in the interim he had not been able to find time to give this

W. Burroughs and unanimously carried
Mr. C. A. Leighton then stated that in his opinion a meeting

stated that new business was in order The Financial Statement was distributed to the directors
and explained in detail by Mr. A. W. Burroughs Treasurer Mr. Burroughs stated that the credit losses as shown by this statement were not necessarily current losses but were loss hangovers that he had now been able to ascertain to be uncollectible and had written them off accordingly He also brought out the fact that he had checked into the possibility of securing insurance to cover bad debt losses giving the directors a complete outline of how this insurance operated and based upon our adhering to the
insurance contract we could not in any calendar year suffer a
loss in excess of 10,000.00 He stated that the cost of this insurance would run approximately 3,500.00 a year Mr. A. W.
Burroughs then asked the directors for their permission to take out such a policy Mr. C. A. Leighton put this in the form of a motion and it was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously

located at
and that he could secure a life time membership in the club for the sum of 21,000.00 this membership being transferable to any
individual he would wish to assign it to and that in his opinion
if the company would finance this membership for him he would be in a position to invite many of our customers to this club and believed that the cost involved would be substantially returned to us with dividends by the good will secured through this form of entertainment and that should the company invest in this membership he would assign it in blank so that at any time the
board of directors wished to name some other person as a club member they would be in a position to do so This matter was discussed and Mr. C. A. Leighton made a motion that we finance this membership for Mr. Dutton This motion was seconded by Mr. A. W. Burroughs and unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton then stated that he had gone into the matter of opening a branch in Salt Lake City to be able to more
efficiently and profitably cover that territory direct rather than to service it from our San Francisco location and made mention of the fact that he had brought this matter up at the directors meeting of August 29 1958 and inquired if they had given it the necessary consideration and if so he would like to have their approval to open a Salt Lake City branch Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. put this in the form of a motion and it was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. then made the statement that now that Alaska and Hawaii had been accepted as States of the Union that Mr. Leighton contact our suppliers and see if we could not secure then as additional territories for our distributorship of their products Mr. Leighton stated that he would be very
happy to check into this matter and report back to them at a
later date
Mr. Burroughs then stated that since the remodeling of the front portion of our offices we had isolated our President and had insofar as desk location was concerned relegated him to a clerk's likeness and that he and Mr. Leighton had discussed this
matter and would like to move his office location to a more
desirable place that would lend proper prestige to himself and the office of President of our company that location being the office in the center the hallway and asked the directors permission to remodel the new location and buy new office furniture appropriate for the office of President He stated that he should not like to have any set appropriation for this purpose but be allowed to set this office up as conservatively as possible with
due consideration for the purpose and person involved Mr.
Harry A. Dutton Jr. put this request in the form of a motion and this motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held at the offices of the company 739
Bryant Street San Francisco on December 29 1959 at 10:30 A.M.
for the purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who stated this meeting had been called at the request of Mr. A. W. Burroughs and asked him to present the purpose
thereof
Thereupon Mr. Burroughs stated that while our business is making progress there are more and more companies entering into our field of endeavor and competition is becoming very keen and in his opinion we were not giving proper consideration to our company's future in its promotional and advertising activities
As we are now operating every one in our organization has certain duties to perform which does not give any individual the time or opportunity to concentrate on the important and vitally necessary steps to be taken to enable us to compete our competitors
Mr. Burroughs stated that he would like to have the directors give consideration to setting up a promotional and advertising department designating some one in our organization with proper
background and experience to head up this department in a full time capacity and that he be given the title of Promotional Director
also that this department be given the authority within due bounds for evaluating new lines and changing suppliers of old lines also this department be given the responsibility of acting as the clearing house for the centralization of all advertising advertising gadgets etc. so that it could be purchased in quantity at lesser cost and be adequate to cover the needs of all offices
A lengthy discussion was had upon the subject each of the directors by questions and comments bringing out more in detail Mr. Burroughs thinking and in finalizing asked whom he would suggest
to head up this department if and when it was conceded such a
department was necessary Mr. Burroughs stated that he had given
this considerable thought and that in checking over our personnel in his opinion Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr. our present Plastic Sales Manager based upon his twelve years background with the company
approximately five years of which was spent in the office first
as clerk then as order desk salesman and approximately seven years experience as an outside salesman covering sales of all our products made him best qualified and also according to seniority was most entitled to this position After further discussion it was decided that such a department was necessary and that Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr. with his background was the most eligible of our personnel to manage this department
Mr. Burroughs then put the foregoing in the form of a motion This motion was seconded by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously
carried
It then became a matter of discussion as to the salary to be
paid for this position Mr. Burroughs stated that in the previous
year with salary and commissions Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr. had
received remuneration exceeding 11,000.00 and that prior to
presenting this proposition to the directorship he had discussed with Mr. Leighton Jr. his willingness to accept this position and the basis of salary when as and if it materialized Mr. Leighton Jr. stated that with the progress shown over the past few years in his sales efforts that it would only be a short time before he would be making considerably more money than he had made heretofore but in consideration of the potential future involved he would be willing to accept the position with a straight salary
of 12,000.00 per year All present conceded this salary to be
fair
Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. then made a motion that Mr. Leighton Jr. be granted a salary of 12,000.00 per year to become effective January 1st 1960 and that he be instructed to take over his new responsibilities as soon thereafter as the proper changes could be made to free him of his present duties This
motion was seconded by Mr. A. W. Burroughs and unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton Jr. was then invited into the meeting and asked
for his ideas as to how he anticipated going about his new duties
He stated that he had many ideas but as yet the proposition was too new for him to outline them in detail One particular thought he did bring out was that our company was in need of a technical
man for laboratory and field service in the Plastic Division to educate our salesmen in the high pressure molding activities that was now becoming prevalent throughout the trade Mr. Dutton Jr.
asked what he anticipated to be the cost of such personnel Mr.
Leighton Jr. said to secure the proper man it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 8500.00 per year After discussion it was decided that Mr. Leighton Jr. interview personnel for this
position and when in his opinion he had an applicant with proper qualifications and background he present the application to the Board of Directors for their consideration Mr. Leighton Jr. stated that he would prepare and present to the directorship at their next meeting a somewhat detailed prospectus covering his thoughts regarding the duties and responsibilities of the new department
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 12:30 P.M.

Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. called the meeting to order and requested the Treasurer's report Whereupon after the normal report past due
receivables became the topic of discussion and while there were
several accounts discussed pro and con the Muldoon Company account
was considered out of line and it was decided that this account
should be reduced each month to the extent that by the end of the year it would be 25 less than now shown on the books Mr. Leighton stated that actually he considered the Muldoon Company as somewhat a partnership in that heretofore we had granted Muldoon Company consigned stocks under proper surveillance but to facilitate bookkeeping records their consigned stocks had been withdrawn and placed as a charge to our account receivable from them He stated that he was watching this account closely visiting them monthly also taking actual physical inventory of our products in their
warehouse and reviewing their books in detail Mr. Leighton asked and as he put it felt justified in requesting our indulgence in maintaining this account under his supervision and responsibility
for the reason that if we did not use the Muldoon Company as our
Fresno distributor we would have to open an office at a cost that would not be commensurate with the profits now obtained and assured all present that he would police this account to the extent that if and when anything happened to them we could take over under due
process of law without serious loss
A general review of the activities of the company was presented by Mr. Leighton both as to past endeavors and immediate future prospects

A. W. Burroughs Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman called the meeting to order Mr. Leighton stated that as of May 17th he had sent or given all present a breakdown of the overhead figures for the six months
ended December 31 1959 as against the same period for the year 1958 for their consideration of all items mentioning that while the gross profit was holding steadily increased overhead was
causing problems In addition thereto Mr. Leighton had a breakdown of collections
of accounts receivable percentagewise which showed a much slower trend in collections for the latter period These statements and figures were gone over in detail the perusal and discussion thereof
took considerable time but the information contained therein
together with the discussion relative thereto gave all present cause for consternation and while nothing was concluded to be an
immediate remedy management was admonished to do everything in
its power to correct the situation
Mr. Dutton stated that prior to the next meeting he would prepare a questionnaire based upon the increase in overhead as shown by Mr. Leighton's figures and forward a copy to operative management in time for them to give proper consideration thereto and stated that at the next meeting of the Board of Directors they would expect answers thereto or explanations thereof Mr. Dutton further stated that this questionnaire would be prepared on a basis of constructive criticism only but he felt it should bring out the necessity or reasoning behind the increased overhead

The following directors were present
H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs This meeting was called to order by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who stated that with the announcement of this meeting he had enclosed the questionnaire as mentioned in the minutes of the previous meeting and would like to have them taken up and
discussed in numerical order
The outcome of this questionnaire with the answers thereto and comments thereon definitely showed that various activities should be curtailed and certain expenditures reduced or eliminated all of which Mr. Leighton Sr. stated he would put into effect immediately Mr. Leighton Sr. also stated that as of the previous meeting he had inaugurated an austerity program which was already producing progressive results In addition thereto he stated that hereafter he would see to it that the directors would be supplied with regular monthly statements showing in detail the expenditures
of individual salesmen classified by offices summarizing the ratio
of sales expense to gross profit obtained
Mr. Burroughs then stated that even though we were inaugurating
an austerity program we should not overlook the fact that incentive
was the most important factor in salesmanship and that Joe Kay with his technical knowledge of our products and his ability to sell and
service our customers from within should be considered as an equal
to our outside salesmen Mr. Burroughs stated that in his opinion
Mr. Kay's salary should be considered to be somewhat commensurate
with the earnings of our outside salesmen and asked the approval of
the Board of Directors to increase his salary to 700.00 per month
Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. made a motion that this increase be allowed This motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
At this time Mr. E. O. Rapier Thermal Division Manager was
invited into the meeting and asked to give a report as to his
anticipation of his departments potential business for the ensuing
fiscal year Mr. Rapier stated he did not have any figures available
to forecast the year's activity but inasmuch as his department was
responsible for approximately 50 of the sales of the San Francisco
office for the past year he believed he could assure all present regardless of other divisional increases that his department would be able to maintain at least the same percentage of sales for the
San Francisco office during the ensuing year

a part of these minutes and stated that in his opinion this prop-
osal covered a reasonably fair and equitable solution After
discussion Mr. Dutton
outlined changes but
stated that in addition
he was in accord thereto he felt
with Mr. Kelley's
we must of
necessity consider funds needed for various company purposes
stating that in his opinion if Mr. Kelley's proposal be accepted
he would like to modify it to the extent of the company being able
following 1. A sufficient amount to be charged each office on a prorated
basis as an expense item for the purpose of adjusting and re-
establishing salary reductions taken by certain officers and
employees so that these reductions can be reinstated by the
Directors when they consider the company to be in a position
to meet the cost thereof

ings or 12,000.00 whichever be the greater so that the

ance therewith Mr. Dutton then put this in the form of a motion which was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
It was then decided that these modifications be presented to
the San Francisco and Los Angeles divisional salesmen by personal
presentation Mr. Leighton stated that he would personally acquaint
the San Francisco sales personnel of the modifications and after proper discussion it was agreed by all present that inasmuch as the proposal originated through the Los Angeles office that Mr. Dutton and Mr. Leighton be appointed as a committee representing the Board
of Directors to arrange a meeting in Los Angeles and present the
modifications as authorized by the Board of Directors to their sales personnel

H. A. Dutton Jr.
C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs
This meeting was called to order by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked the secretary for a report on unfinished business The only unfinished business as recorded was the result of
Mr. Dutton and Mr. Leighton's meeting with the sales personnel of the Los Angeles division relative to their reaction to the proposed sales contract changes Mr. Leighton reported that they were not fully in accord with Mr. Kelley's original proposal for the reason they could not foresee under present conditions how the Los Angeles office could make net profits sufficient to warrant a pool distribution whereby their participation would equal their present earnings
Mr. Leighton stated that in his closing remarks at the meeting their comments would be presented to the Board of Directors for proper
consideration and that no final decision would be made until there was a complete understanding of the changes to be made and mutually agreed upon
Mr. Leighton then stated that based upon Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr.'s added company responsibilities that had required him to be absent from home more frequently than heretofore domestic troubles
had arisen to the extent that in Mr. Leighton Jr.'s opinion the
only solution thereto would be a temporary separation requiring him to take separate living quarters increasing his normal personal expenditures In consideration of the foregoing explanation Mr. Leighton Jr. had asked Mr. Leighton to present to the Board of Directors a request for an increase in salary of 100.00 per month to offset a portion of his additional domestic costs After discussion and due consideration Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. made a motion that this increase be granted Mr. Burroughs seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried

This meeting was held at the offices of the company 739 Bryant
Street San Francisco on September 22 1961 at 10:00 A.M. for the
purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present
Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr.
Mr. C. A. Leighton Mr. A. W. Burroughs The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked Mr. Leighton the purpose for calling the meeting Mr. Leighton stated that our Los Angeles warehouse lease was nearing its expiration date and the lessors have given notice that we must vacate a portion of the premises The relinquishing of this space would cause a warehousing problem Mr. Kelly and Mr. McConnell in discussing this problem came up with what in their opinion was a possible solution explaining that we had a large loading platform at the rear of our building which was not as of now being utilized for any purpose whatsoever Their suggestion being that this platform be covered and properly
enclosed and if so done would more than cover the space being re-
linquished and would give us greater efficiency With this thought
in mind they secured bids covering the cost of this work and the
lowest approximated bid cost was 6,100.00 all bidders stating
that they could not submit firm bids until the plans were submitted
to the City of Vernon and the County of Los Angeles for building permits acceptable to each under their building code.requirements
After submitting their plans to the proper authorities for the building permits it was found that inasmuch as the balance of our leased premises had a sprinkler system throughout we would have to put in a sprinkler system to include the additional enclosure The cost of this would be an additional 1,500.00
Mr. Leighton then stated that if we made this expenditure and capitalized it to be amortized over the unexpired term of our lease
it would result in a lesser rental than we are now paying
This matter was discussed in detail and after due consideration
Mr. Burroughs made a motion that this expenditure be approved and
that the work be let so that at the time of our lease relinquishment
became effective we would have the construction work sufficiently
done to make the necessary move
This motion was seconded by Mr. C.
A. Leighton and unanimously carried Mr. Burroughs then brought up a matter requiring an additional
leasehold expenditure that in his opinion was necessary for the San Francisco office explaining that heretofore our purchasing agent had had a private office wherein he could meet incoming salesmen in
privacy but that in promoting Mr. Leighton Jr. as Sales Director it was necessary to give him the purchasing agent's office moving the purchasing agent into the front office where there was no privacy
available
Mr. Burroughs further stated that he had in his opinion found a solution to this problem by enclosing a certain portion of the front office showing and explaining what he had in mind He stated
he had obtained a firm bid covering the cost of this proposed
enclosed office at a cost of 425.00 which included the lighting
requirements floor covering painting etc. and asked that due consideration be given this proposal
-. After detailed discussion thereon Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. made a motion that the expenditure be allowed and that this work be carried out Mr. C. A. Leighton seconded this motion and it was
unanimously carried There being no further business to come before the meeting it
was adjourned at 11:30 A.M.

Mr. Leighton stated that as of now he was unable to submit a mutually acceptable contract but that progress was being made

Thermal Division

All Directors present Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr. present by invitation
Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. called the meeting to order at
10:00 A.M. November 21st and requested the secretary to read
his notes covering the preceding portion of this meeting Accordingly Mr. Burroughs read his notes
Mr. Dutton then asked Mr. Leighton Jr. to explain his purpose for requesting the proposed change
Mr. Leighton Jr. stated that in his last several trips to the Los Angeles office that he had discerned a considerable
lowering of moral among the salesmen and in trying to ascert-
ain the reason therefore had discussed this matter with each
salemar individually and had concluded through the opinions of
all that they were not receiving proper consideration from Mr. Kelly as needed
He further stated that in his opinion Mr. Kelly was overburdened with detail and seemingly did not have available time to hold sales meetings or to receive various salesmen for individual interviews to enable them to present their problems He felt by appointing product managers to assume the detailed responsibilities of each product divisional sales and only having to through Mr. Kelly for managerial requirements they would be able to do a much better job
This matter was discussed pro and con and during this
discussion it was brought out that the sales for the Los
Angeles office had been in a decline since June of 1960 and
that some drastic change was needed Mr. J. O. Martin then stated that based upon the foregoing
it was his opinion that Mr. Kelly's services should be terminated and that we reorganize the Los Angeles Division saleswise This matter was discussed and Mr. Burroughs stated that in his opinion it was not necessarily Mr. Kelly's fault that he did not handle his position as Divisional Manager as it should be handled His feelings were that we had taken our best salesmen as at that time and promoted him to Divisional Manager out of a field where he excelled in ability In so doing they had made a high priced clerk out of an exceptional salesman
Mr. Burroughs believed that if we gave Mr. Kelly the accounts he was now handling and allocated to him additional accounts
of a specific territory he would again be a very valuable part
of our organization Mr. Dutton stated that the discussion and comments were
very enlightening and well taken and asked Mr. Leighton Jr.
as our Sales Director if he had any further ideas or additional
comments Mr. Leighton Jr. stated that based upon the aforementioned he would like to amend his original proposal by appointing Mr. Wallace C. Moore as our Los Angeles Divisional Sales Manager which would still include his being the Electrical Products Manager All other proposals remaining the same
Mr. Dutton then asked the Secretary to read all notes taken of the meeting thus far so that all present could refresh
their thinking as to what heretofore had transpired The Secretary read all notes as requested
Mr. Dutton then stated that after listening to the various comments that Mr. Leighton Jr's amended proposal be approved and made a motion this effect The motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
Mr. Dutton then made a motion that Mr. C. A. Leighton Sr. Mr. A. W. Burroughs and Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr. be appointed as a committee to put the foregoing into effect and that Mr. Leighton Sr. and Mr. Burroughs set up the procedure for so
doing
This motion was duly seconded and unanimously carried
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 12 o'clock noon

advising him that he and Mr. Burroughs would be down the following morning asking him to meet them at the airport at 8:00 A.M.
The additional arrangements to be that Mr. Leighton Jr. would fly down later in the day and meet with Mr. Moore prior to their required attendance at the 3:00 P.M. meeting Mr. Leighton further reported that Mr. Kelly had met him and Mr. Burroughs at the airport and drove them to the Statler Hotel and the meeting between himself Mr. Burroughs and Mr. Kelly was held immediately thereafter in Mr. Leighton's room where at the directors proclamation was explained to Mr. Kelly in detail outlining the reason therefor
Mr. Kelly acquiesced stating that he was fully in accord with their thinking and believed the carrying out of their decision would be exceedingly beneficial the Los Angeles
Division
Mr Burroughs then asked Mr. Kelly if in his opinion it would be helpful to him to turn the detail office procedure over to Mr. McConnell as office manager thus enabling him to have additional time available for his outlined sales activity and unrelinquished management requirements Mr. Kelly expressed his appreciation for this suggestion stating that with these various responsibilities being allocated to others he would be
able to prove to management that he could within a short time again be a top salesman in our organization
Mr. Leighton then stated that it being near lunch time that he would call Mr. McConnell asking him to be present at
approximately 1:30 for the afternoon session Mr. McConnell in accordance with Mr. Leighton's request presented himself at the meeting and all facets of the directors instructions together with the suggestions and decisions of the morning meeting were outlined advising him fully of his added responsibilities after which all present discussed the policy and procedure for carrying out the many changes
All present repaired to the offices of the company for the 3:00 o'clock meeting to be held thereafter whereat Mr. McConnell resumed his office duties and a preliminary meeting was held with Mr. Leighton Mr. Burroughs Mr. Kelly and Mr. Leighton Jr. present
Mr. Leighton Jr. announced that he had met with Mr. Moore and that Mr. Moore had suggested to him that we not break this news to those involved as a group but that in his opinion we should talk with the appointed Product Managers to get their reaction individually before calling the group meeting
Mr. Moore was called in and the matter discussed and he
suggested that we call Mr. Hacker into the meeting first whereupon this was done and Mr. Leighton outlined to him our
intended changes Mr. Hacker stated that he would like to have time to think the matter over
Mr. Kelly then asked Mr. Goodrum and Mr. Starr into the
meeting and Mr. Leighton outlined to them the new procedure which was accepted by them with enthusiasm all stating that under the new arrangement and with the diversified responsibility as allocated to them individually they felt that all would be able to do a better job and as a group stated in their opinions given a period of three months that we would see a much improved sales volume in their division
Mr. Hacker then returned to the meeting and stated that the reason for his wanting time to give the matter additional
consideration was that he had been offered a position by
another company and that he had wanted the time to discuss
this change together with his new job offer with his wife and in so doing they had decided that he should take the position as offered to him by the other company and tendered his resignation
Mr. Leighton stated that his resignation not being anticipated was somewhat of a shock and that he would like to give the matter further thought before giving a final decision but that a decision would be forthcoming in the next few days Thereupon Mr. Hacker retired from the meeting
This meeting was closed and Mr. Leighton invited all persons involved to a dinner meeting at the Statler Hotel wherein each and all would be able to discuss the foregoing individually and groupwise for any clarification needed as to their respective
duties and the procedure involved
After this meeting broke up Mr. Leighton asked Mr. Kelly
and Mr. Moore to be present for a meeting to be held the follow-
ing morning to tie up the loose ends any after their
sleeping upon the comments and results of the day's meetings

and Mr. Wallace C. Moore Mr. Moore stated that after the
previous evening's meeting he and Mr. Kelly had had a lengthy discussion relative to their particular changes and it was mutually agreed that Mr. Kelly would retain all accounts he was now servicing and in addition thereto be allocated a territory to be decided upon and that in so doing it would be necessary for them to have a meeting with all sales personnel for territorial changes acceptable to all
During this meeting the question arose as to who should assume the responsibility of obtaining new personnel as needed It was decided that in as much as Mr. Moore was assuming the responsibility of Sales Manager that he be responsible for the hiring of all sales personnel including order desk salesmen and that Mr. McConnell be responsible for any changes to be made in all other personnel requirements
After a full discussion of Mr. Leighton's report it was
decided by the Directors Mr. Hacker's resignation be accepted

.
The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked Mr. Leighton the purpose for calling the
meeting
Mr. Leighton stated that he had called the meeting for their consideration of several proposals First and most important was that of an adjustment of Mr. Wallace Moore's remuneration explaining that with the reallocation of the Los Angeles sales territories and the added responsibilities entailed as Sales Manager that Mr. Mcore could be faced with a reduction in income through his commission earnings
This matter was fully discussed Mr. Burroughs stated that with salary and commissions Mr. Moore had been averaging approximately 12,000.00 a year and that he felt that some additional amount should be added thereto and be considered as straight
salary His thinking being that we should not place Mr. Moore in a position whereby he had to rely entirely upon commissions derived from his direct sales for his income This added remuneration would also lend considerably toward boosting his moral in his new undertaking and if and when the new proposed commission contract was put into effect additional remuneration
could be allocated to him as a bonus from time to time as the Los
Angeles Divisional earnings would permit Mr. Burroughs then made a motion that Mr. Moore be given
an annual salary of 15,000.00 This motion was seconded by Mr.
C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried Mr. Leighton then stated that upon a recent trip to Los
Angeles Mr. Moore had mentioned to him that Mr. Goodrum had made a remark that led him to believe that during the various changes made in the Los Angeles office and the several promotions granted to others that Mr. Goodrum had been in his vernacular somewhat of a missing link He also felt that if Mr. Goodrum was given some additional remuneration which would be an expression of appreciation of his ability and loyalty to the company this feeling would be alleviated
Mr. Leighton had gathered that an increase in salary to Mr. Goodrum over and above the regular committed salaries would answer this problem and made a motion that his basic salary be increased from the regular salesman's basic salary of 600.00 per month to 700.00 per month
This matter was discussed pro and con but finally concluded that rather than disrupt our Los Angeles sales personnel further
that this increase be granted Mr. Dutton placed this suggestion in the form of a motion
It was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried Mr. Dutton then brought up the matter as to what progress
had been achieved in the proposed changes of the salesmen's commission contracts Mr. Leighton stated that based upon the earnings of the individual branches the only place the new contract proposal would serve its purpose as of now was in the San Francisco office and had determined that under the new plan it would average out that they would be entitled to an approximate increase of 10 in their commission remuneration He further stated that in his belief that our only alternative is to main-
tain the present contracts to all other branch salesmen
Publicizing the percentage of commission increase as attained
by the San Francisco salesmen to other branch salesmen believing that in so doing it would give them an added incentive to improve
their branch sales so that their branch earnings would be sufficient to allow them to take advantage of the pool distribution as outlined under the new contract
Mr. Dutton expressed his approval of the foregoing but stipulated that all branches not now accepting the new contract be given one year in which to make a decision as to their acceptance or rejection thereof and regardless of their decision it be accepted by the Board of Directors as final and they would have
to adhere thereto thereafter
Mr. Dutton then placed this in the form of a motion Mr. Martin seconded this motion and it was unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton mentioned that he had secured reservations for himself and Mrs. Leighton to take a trip to Europe for his vacation period and having informed Mr. Burroughs of this proposed trip he stated that Mr. Burroughs was willing to assume all responsibility of the organization's activities in its entirety with the exception of the Muldoon account and that prior to his absence he would like to acquaint himself with the Muldoon activity Whereupon he had suggested to Mr. Burroughs that he accompany him to Fresno so that Mr. Burroughs would have a more detailed knowledge of account He said that he had told Mr. Burroughs that he considered the Muldoon Company more or less a subsidiary of our company and remarked to Mr. Burroughs that Mr. Halversen President of the Muldoon Company also considered his company as a subsidiary of our company
Mr. Leighton then stated that Mr. Burroughs had expressed an opinion that if it was conceded by both our company and the Muldoon Company that we were in matter of fact one organization
that he would suggest we tie up the loose ends so that should
some unforeseeable happening occur during his absence that our company would have as nearly as possible obtainable complete control of the Muldoon Company
Mr. Leighton expressed his acquiesence to this proposal and requested Mr. Burroughs to prepare all necessary papers needed to cover a full and complete assignment to us of the Muldoon Company in its entirely
Mr. Leighton stated that he and Mr. Burroughs had made a trip to Fresno and that Mr. Burroughs had secured the assignment
of all outstanding stock from all individual stockholders and a complete assignment of all accounts receivable and had recorded this assignment with the county recorder of Fresno County and it
was under these conditions Mr. Burroughs agreed to accept the Muldoon account as his responsibility until his return provided
that it be and was established that during his absence Mr. Burroughs would not extend any further credit to them other than the amount showing at the leaving date of Mr. Leighton's vacation and until his return
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 12:30 P.M.

Mr. Wallace C. Moore was present by request
The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr.
Chairman who asked Mr. Leighton the purpose of the meeting Mr. Leighton stated that he had called this meeting at the
request of Mr. Wallace C. Moore and asked that Mr. Moore present his reasons for requesting the meeting
Mr. Moore stated that in his opinion he had conscientiously with all conceivable diplomacy tried to handle his new position efficiently but had found it to be a rocky road in that Mr. Kelly was not giving him proper cooperation In addition thereto Mr.
Kelly was not servicing the accounts that had been allocated to
him and upon inquiry had found that he was not covering his
territorial allocation He further stated it had been established
within the organization that Mr. Kelly had not relinquished responsibility to others as authorized by management and seemingly his nor Mr. McConnel's instructions were given any credence without Mr. Kelly's approval and that as of now he and Mr. McConnell were at an impasse in the handling of their allocated responsibilities Thereupon Mr. Dutton suggested that any action insofar as Mr. Kelly was concerned should be directorship responsibility and with proper diplomacy asked Mr. Moore to absent himself from the meeting so that the Board of Directors could continue the meeting
Upon discussion of the foregoing it was conceded by the Board of Directors that this possibility had been taken into consideration as a calculated risk hoping heartedly by all that Mr. Kelly would accede to what he had previously termed as only being deemphasized
Mr. Martin having expressed his opinion in a previous meeting with Mr. Kelly under discussion had as of that time suggested that he be terminated made a motion that as of now we request his
resignation to become effective March 15 1962 and that Mr.
Leighton be designated to represent the Board of Directors in securing this resignation The motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried
Mr. Burroughs as Treasurer then asked the Board of Directors for their consideration of the severance pay to be allowed Mr. Kelly upon his termination mentioning that for the past several years Mr. Kelly had had a called psychiatry problem in his family that was costly but that under our insurance plan he had been able to endure the expenses involved and suggested that we carry Mr. Kelly
on our payroll for a three month period so that he would be able to continue the medical expenses involved through our company health and welfare plan
This matter was discussed and Mr. Leighton made a motion to the effect that Mr. Burroughs suggestion be approved This motion was seconded by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously
carried

J. O. Martin
This meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked the Secretary for any unfinished business to be brought before the meeting
Mr. Burroughs Secretary reported the only unfinished business as recorded was the outcome of Mr. Leighton's meeting with Mr. R. W. Kelly relative to the securing of his resignation
Mr. Leighton stated that he had met with Mr. Kelly on March 12th advising him of the wishes of the Board of Directors and told Mr. Kelly of the termination settlement outlined in the minutes of the previous meeting He said Mr. Kelly accepted the Directors request of his resignation graciously without comment Mr. Leighton further stated that after his meeting with Mr. Kelly he arranged a meeting with the balance of the Los Angeles Division personnel explaining to them that Mr. Kelly had tendered his
resignation and outlined to each in detail their new duties and added responsibilities
He also announced that the impression he gathered through the many comments was that this action met with their approval and
that the Directors could feel that their decision was the right decision and that our company would have the loyalty and support
of all
The chair then asked Mr. Burroughs for the Treasurer's report
Mr. Burroughs stated that he had prior to this meeting given the
Directors the December 31st balance sheet and operating statement for the period from July 1st to the closing date so that they would have the opportunity of perusing it in detail prior to this meeting
All figures contained therein were discussed in detail after
which Mr. Dutton made a motion that the financial statement be accepted as presented This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A.
Leighton and unanimously carried Mr. Dutton then suggested that our company set a policy that
when hiring prospective salesmen that they must meet the following qualifications
1. They must be college graduates either directly
or indirectly in the vocation for which they are being hired 2. They must be approximately twenty or twentyfive years of age and that they be married Mr. Dutton further requested that at the General Sales Meeting to be held by our company April 12th and 13th that Mr. Leighton
announce the requisites to all personnel having authority for hiring of salesmen or prospective salesmen and that the foregoing requirements be met before giving their application further
consideration
Mr. Burroughs then mentioned that in his belief when Divisional Sales Managers had prospective applicants who met the foregoing qualifications that as a matter of prestige to them and
for the company prestige that they be required to be sent to the
San Francisco headquarters office for final approval Mr. Leighton then remarked that in his opinion we should
proceed a step further and asked that these prospective salesmen as accepted by management be indoctrinated by the Divisional Products Managers in whose department they were being placed and after spending sufficient time with them for a training period if the Product Managers opinion the applicant seemingly qualified they be sent to the factories manufacturing the products involved in their sales activity so that they would know the products they were selling from its inception to its end uses
The foregoing being fully discussed it was conceded by all present that all suggestions as outlined be put into effect
Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. put this in the form of a motion It was duly seconded and unanimously carried
Mr. Dutton then brought up the matter of the Muldoon Company situation and asked Mr. Leighton his opinion as to what our possible loss would be in its final wind up Mr. Leighton stated that through his recent analysis of their activities and based upon the accounts receivable as acknowledged by debtors plus
their current inventory and with the anticipated profits to be derived from their newly accepted contracts he felt we would
not take a loss in excess of 10,000.00
It was agreed that upon the closing of their records April 30th a Directors meeting would be held to determine our companies future proceedure in connection therewith
Mr. Burroughs then brought up the subject as recorded in the minutes of the Directors Meeting held December 29 1959 that all contractual merchandising products and prospective merchandising products be cleared through one department which would have the responsibility of acting as clearing house for our company for the evaluation of our present lines and giving credence to new lines Any changes in old lines or the acceptance of new lines to require the approval of management
Whereupon Mr. Dutton asked that Mr. Leighton Jr. Sales Director be available to be invited into the next held Directors meeting to give them a resume as to his accomplishments thus far and his prospective available achievements
There being no further business to come before the meeting
it was adjourned at 11:30 A.M.

Upon our being recalled to the meeting they requested that if and when any new contracts were hereinafter started we subordinate our rights as preferred creditors thereon and that based upon the financial statement issued by Muldoon Company that we guarantee
them from the approximate 15,000.00 potential profits a sum of 10,000.00 to be prorated to all common creditors

Mr. Leighton then asked the Board of Directors for authority to negotiate with all creditors involved for a settlement in cash
for a sum not to exceed 10,000.00 in full settlement of their
claims stating that if such authority be granted he would negotiate to the best of his ability to settle for a lesser sum beleiving that if such a settlement be made we would be in a position to complete certain contracts for the greatest benefits to our company and possibly farm out other contracts on a profit sharing basis without the jeopardy of outside interference Mr. Martin stated if this request was approved that in his opinion the time element would be in our favor and requested that a time
limit be set for Mr. Leighton's consummation of his proposed settle-
ment

Mr. Leighton stated that Mr. Moore the newly appointed
Sales Manager of our Los Angeles Division had mentioned that he felt it would lend prestige to him and his organization if they could meet individually the management personnel of our company Mr. Leighton suggested in accordance therewith that our annual stockholders meeting being required to be held on September 15th or the next business day thereafter ensuing that in his opinion
it would be in order to hold the stockholders meeting and the
ensuing directors meeting in Los Angeles and invite all designated personnel to be available for a sales meeting to be held at the conclusion of our annual meetings He further suggested if this be the beginning of quarterly sales meetings
that these sales meetings be held on Monday following the 15th day of each quarter thereafter the time and place to be determined by management
~ Mr. Dutton then brought up the subject of who would supplant Mr. Leighton Jr. in the various activities that he had been handling Mr. Leighton stated that he would take back the reigns that he had heretofore relinquished and would in coordination with all sales managers assume the responsibility of sales promotion
and branch sales activities
Through further discussion it was decided that Mr. Leighton Jr. would be placed in charge of the Plastics Division Mr. E. O.
Rapier in charge of the Thermol Division and Mr. W. C. Moore in
charge of the Electrical Division All of these assignments to be coordinated with all branch sales managers and in case of unsolvable problems to be referred to Mr. Leighton for final decision who in turn would appraise the Board of Directors of
their activities
Mr. J. O. Martin then brought to the attention of the Board of Directors that in his opinion Mr. Leighton had been handling certain detail work that fell within the scope of other officers duties and that as of now Mr. Leighton should relieve himself of
such duties and devote his time to the activities and
responsibilities of his office and divert all other duties and responsibilities to officers in charge of these activities as
prescribed in our laws He further stated that Mr. Leighton as President being responsible for our company's progress should require from all subordinates detailed information as
needed to be able to render proper decisions subject to the Directorship's supervisory powers
Mr. Dutton then brought up the subject of a previous discussion not heretofore recorded in the minutes of our Directors Meetings relative to limiting air line travel to tourist accommodations excluding only extenuating circumstances as presenting themselves at the prevailing time If first class travel be used the reason for so doing should be explained in writing so that when our air lines invoices are presented to cur accounting department for payment they will have proper information for approval thereof and attach the reason therefor to the invoice when paid Mr. Leighton stated that he would
issue a bulletin to this effect to all persons involved in travel activities for our company
Mr. Leighton then stated that Mr. W. C. Moore had asked him for permission to attend this directors meeting for the purpose of explaining his thinking as to the need for a company representative to contact in person our eastern suppliers and was standing by to be heard Mr. Moore was then invited into the meeting and explained that through prior information divulged to him by Mr. Kelly that Exeter Manufacturing Company had intimated that they were desirous of securing the Coast
General Electric business and inasmuch as we were their West Coast representatives they would like us to use our influence
in securing this business for them Through his and Mr. Leighton
Jrs contacts there was now a potential possibility of cementing this relationship and stated that he felt that the time was ripe for detailed negotiations He stated that if these negotiations were culminated and approved by management of all companies
involved it would be extremely beneficial to our company profit-
wise through commissions to be allocated to us by Exeter Manufacturing Company He further stated that while making this trip for a specific purpose there were many reasons for contacting other eastern suppliers for detailed clarification product and in some instances because of competitive prices discount-
wise
This matter was discussed and it was agreed that Mr. Moore and Mr. Leighton Jr. should make this trip with the itinerary being that they both visit with Guston Bacon's sales representatives in Kansas City and with Exeter Manufacturing Company's people necessary to resolve if possible the Exeter - General Electric deal after which Mr. Moore was to follow through with his further needed visits and Mr. Leighton Jr. return to San Francisco Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. made a motion that the directors approve the expenditures needed for this trip Mr. J. 0. Martin seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton then stated that with his knowledge of eastern protocol he felt it would be advantageous if he contacted Mr. Comfort of Exeter Manufacturing Company and through him arrange
the meeting for Mr. Moore and Mr. Leighton Jr. with his designated representatives He further stated that final contractual obligations as negotiated would be submitted by him to the Board of Directors for their approval
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 1:45 P.M.

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held at the offices of the company 739 Bryant
Street San Francisco California on August 24 1962 at 10:00 A.M.
for the purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman called the meeting to order , and asked the Secretary to read the minutes of the previous meeting The Secretary stated that he had not as yet received Mr. Moore's written report covering his and Mr. Leighton Jr.'s trip East mentioning that Mr. Moore had taken his vacation currently following his return to the office and that upon his return Mr. McConnell Office Manager had taken his vacation and that with his responsibilities both sales wise and office wise he had not been able to submit a written report on their Eastern trip but did assure him that as soon as Mr. McConnell returned to the office his report would be immediately forthcoming Thereupon Mr. Dutton asked for new business to be brought before the meeting
Mr. Burroughs as Treasurer reported on and supplied figures
covering the activities for the fiscal year ending June 30 1962
which were discussed in detail
Mr. Dutton then brought up the question as to how commissions had been paid our salesmen under the Profit Sharing Plan as inaugurated by Mr. R. W. Kelley Mr. Leighton then distributed a
detailed statement to all present for all offices as to the commis-
sions paid to whom and the reasons therefor stating that under
the Profit Sharing Plan it could only be operative when as and
all offices showed a profit He further stated that based upon the
closing figures as at December 31 1961 all salesmen were offered
our proposed Profit Sharing Plan The Los Angeles Division and the North West Division declined
the acceptance of the Profit Sharing Plan for the reason that neither of these divisions were making sufficient profit to contribute to the pool that would enable them to enjoy the income they were now receiving further stating that the only office operating on a commission basis in accordance with the Profit Sharing Plan was the
San Francisco office
After full discussion regarding the Profit Sharing Plan it was disclosed that all contributary expenses had been included in the estimated overhead as allocated to each office and that under Mr. Kelley's plan there was an approximate third deducted from the
salesmen's allocations to be distributed as a bonus to the Product
Managers and order desk salesmen for back work Mr. Burroughs stated that in his belief this procedure was completely unfair his
thoughts being that our Product Managers and order desk salesmen while being prime factors in our sales activity could not operate efficiently without the back help of our Purchasing Agents Billing Clerks Bookkeepers Secretaries etc. and that if a Profit Sharing distribution was made to any of the office personnel all office personnel should participate based upon term of employment
capacity involved and efficiency in their respective duties He then presented a rough draft as to how he felt that the office personnel
bonus should be allocated
After questions were asked and answers given and seemingly accepted by all Mr. Burroughs put his ideas in the form of a motion
Mr. J. O. Martin seconded the motion with an amendment that Mr.
Burroughs tentative figures as finalized would not exceed the sum of 10,000.00
Mr. Burroughs accepted this amendment This motion was seconded
by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously carried
Mr. Burroughs then stated that in_as_much in_as_much as we had had a reason-
ably profitable year and that a bonus had been allocated to the employees that in his opinion reductions as taken by certain personnel of our organization still associated with us should be reimbursed to them in the form of a bonus Thereupon Mr. Leighton stated that he
would accept the bonus declared for reinstatement of salaries up to
and including December 31 1961 but for personal reasons he wished to have his salary reduced by 5,000.00 a year beginning January 1 1962 and that his bonus be paid in accordance therewith
This matter was discussed in detail and accepted by all
Thereupon Mr. J. O. Martin placed this in the form of a motion which was seconded by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously carried
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 2:00 P.M.

The following directors were present H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs Mr. W. C. Moore had previously made a request to attend this directors meeting and was present by invitation The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked Kr Moore the purpose for his requesting his attendance at this meeting Mr. Moore stated he would like the
Board of Directors to consider some form of remuneration for the
Products managers to compensate them for training new salesmen his thoughts being that it would take considerable time for them to break in new salesmen and this would take time from their present duties If they did encroach upon their present productive
would mean a loss in commissions to them as well as a loss
in business for the company Mr. Moore believes that some fair
basis could be arrived at whereby they would not lose their present
earning power and the training of new salesmen could be handled
with the least amount of commission loss to them and business
loss for the company He also stated that he would like to have
the Board of Directors consider an adjustment in his salary
beginning January 1 1963. These matters were discussed and
various ideas brought out in the discussion that would give the Board of Directors some basis for meeting his request Mr. Dutton
stated that all directors should give this matter full considera-
tion and be prepared to come up with sufficient detailed informa-
tion that would enable them to act upon this matter at the next
directors meeting At this point Mr. Moore was excused from the
meeting Mr. Dutton asked all directors if they had received a copy
of Mr. A. W. Burroughs Divisional Products earnings report for
the San Francisco office All directors stated that they had a copy of this report and it was discussed in detail Mr. Dutton stated that based upon this report some action must be taken relative to either enhancing the earnings of the Plastics Division or discontinuing it Mr. Dutton made a motion that a trial period be granted the Plastics Division with a minimum of six months and that a new survey be made at that time and if a change for the
better had been achieved that they would allow another six months
probational period for earnings to be brought into line percentagewise to the other divisions and that if this goal had not been obtained within this additional period this division would be
discontinued This motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and
unanimously carried
Mr. Dutton then asked for Mr. Leighton Jr.
to be brought into the meeting for his comments Mr. Leighton Jr. was called into the meeting and the foregoing was presented
to him and he was asked for further suggestions He stated that in his opinion certain industrial accounts had been neglected and he felt that if he spent more time in the field selling and
reduced his office activities accordingly additional sales and profits could be secured Mr. Leighton Sr. stated that in his
opinion in some instances the allocation of costs to the Products Division had not beer properly allocated Mr. Dutton then stated that he would like to have the following conditions set forth so that the directors would be kept currently informed as to the progress being made in the Plastics Division No. 1 - that Mr. Burroughs and Mr. Leighton get together and agree upon a proper basis of allocating costs No. 2 - That Mr. Leighton Jr. enter the field actively on sales and promotional work No. 3 - that a sales analysis be supplied monthly No. 4 - that the directors be supplied with a sixty day inventory report
Mr. A. W. Burroughs placed these suggestions in the form of a
motion This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried
Mr. A. W. Burroughs then asked the directors to give consideration to a Christmas bonus to be paid all salaried company employees stating that the previous year we had allowed each employee who had been with us one year or more a week's salary and those of lesser time a token Christmas bonus Mr. Dutton made a motion that we
pay a Christmas bonus on the same basis as paid the previous year This notion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously
carried
Mr. A. W. Burroughs then stated that with the expansion of the Electrical Division and the additional help required it would be necessary for him to make certain changes in thephysical
arrangement of our offices in order to make space for the additional employees outlining what he had in mind and stating that his
estimate of the cost would run between 1,000.00 and 1,500.00
This matter was discussed and Mr. H. A. Dutton made a motion that
Burroughs follow through with the remodelling required with the
least expenditure necessary This motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
Mr. Dutton then asked Mr. Leighton to see if it would be poss-
ible to secure from Custin Bacon Company their method and pro-
cedure in training new salesmen feeling that with their many years
in their sales endeavor they surely would have some thoughts and
ideas that we could incorporate in our training program Mr.
Leighton Leighton stated that he was sure Gustin Bacon Company would be
pleased to supply us with any information that they might have
along these lines

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held in the offices of the company 739
Bryant Street San Francisco California on January 10 1963 at 8:30 A.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business
pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present
H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs
Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. Chairman called the meeting to
order and requested the Secretary to read the minutes of any unsigned previous meeting Mr. Burroughs read the minutes as directed and they were unanimously approved as read
Mr. Dutton stated that the first item of unfinished business
was Mr. Leighton's report covering the Muldoon account and asked if it was available at this time Mr. Leighton stated that he and Mr. Rapier intended to go to Fresno during the latter part of this month and take a complete inventory of merchandise still remaining in Fresno and at that time he would endeavor to contact all unpaid accounts receivable and felt confident he could on this visit tie up all loose ends concerning this account and be able to submit a complete report thereon to the directors at their next meeting
Mr. Dutton then stated that the next order of unfinished
business was that of determining additional compensation for Mr. W. C. Moore and stated that he had given this matter considerable thought and would like to propose an incentive plan that in his opinion would cement the loyalty and continuance of Mr. Moore's
services with us for future years
Mr. Dutton said he would like to suggest that we elevate Mr. Moore in title from Los Angeles Sales Manager to Los Angeles Divisional Manager giving him full responsibility of the manage-
ment of the Los Angeles Division under proper managerial super-
vision and that we inaugurate a five year incentive plan whereby
we would grant him an annual increase of 1,000.00 per year
beginning January 1 1963 and continuing through January 1 1967
stating that at the expiration of this five year period he would be in line salary with salaries paid previous Los Angeles Managers stressing that the foregoing be based upon compatability
This matter was discussed and all seemingly being in agreement Mr. C. A. Leighton put Mr. Dutton's suggestion in the form of a motion seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
Mr. Dutton then stated that in addition to the salary increase he would like to suggest that we create an incentive plan whereby any additional remuneration granted Mr. Moore be based upon his achievements as Divisional Manager by producing net profits for the
company
Mr. Dutton brought to the attention of the directors that during the year 1957-1958 the Los Angeles Division showed an approximate net
profit of 75,000.00 and that in his opinion if we would allocate a certain percentage of the Los Angeles net profits before taxes to
Mr. Moore that with his ability and enthusiasm and this additional
remuneration incentive we should within reasonable time be obtaining comparable profits pointing out that this method of additional compensation would tie him in personally to the success of the Los Angeles operation
Mr. Dutton then presented the Directors with a percentage chart showing the resultant additional compensation to Mr. Moore and the resultant profits obtained for the company based upon sales This suggestion and the accompanying chart was discussed in detail and it

proposal was explained to him by Mr. Leighton President and Mr. Moore accepted the five year salary plan and the bonus plan with sincere appreciation
Mr. Moore then asked about the additional remuneration that
he had requested for Product Managers as outlined in our meeting
of December 18 1962. Mr. Leighton explained that this request
involved complexities and that inasmuch as any new program inaugur-
ated would be retroactive to January 1 1963 we would submit a
tentative proposal prior to March 31 1963 so that it could be
mutually agreed upon prior to April 30 1963 when commissions are
payable At this point Mr. Moore was excused from the meeting The directors then reverted their attention to Mr. Dutton's
bonus proposal for Mr. Moore and based upon Mr. Moore's acceptance of this proposal Mr. Leighton placed this proposal in the form of a motion This motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and was carried by a majority vote Mr. Burroughs abstained from voting
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 3:30 P.M.

The following directors were present
H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton A. W. Burroughs Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman called the meeting to order and asked the Secretary if there was any unfinished business to be brought before the meeting Mr. Burroughs stated the only unfinished business as recorded was the report from W. E. Moore covering his eastern trip and that as of yet he had not received this report and suggested that this matter be dropped as unfinished business stating that Mr. Moore had given an oral report covering his trip to the directors at the meeting of
August 3 1962 and that so much time had elapsed that he did
not feel a written report at this time would be of any particular value This suggestion was unanimously accepted
Mr. Dutton then asked for new business to be brought before the meeting
Mr. Leighton stated that he had asked Mr. Moore to be present for the purpose of presenting to the Board the final drawings
of the new emblem to be used as our trade mark Mr. Moore was
then called into the meeting and submitted drawings of the trade mark in various colors and sizes and it was unanimously approved
Mr. H. A. Dutton made a motion that Mr. Wallace E. Moore authorize
Mr. Wasser to have cuts made and have a finished sample made for letterheads envelopes and calling cards This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton then stated that we had heretofore set Monday
and Tuesday for our quarterly Divisional Sales Meetings and suggested that we change these days to Thursday and Friday nearest the 15th of each calendar quarter Mr. Dutton put this in the form of a motion which was duly seconded and unanimously carried
Mr. Moore stated that seemingly there had been some mis understanding by Mr. Henningsen as to whom he should look to for advice guidance and instructions in operating as Electrical Products Manager of the San Francisco office This matter was discussed at length and it was decided that he should report directly to Mr. Moore on all matters pertaining to the products and to Mr. Leighton Sr. for matters of company policy
It was also brought out that there was some friction between Mr. Henningsen the order desk boys and the purchasing department
Mr. Burroughs suggested that Mr. Kay Assistant Sales Manager of the San Francisco office be the liaison between Mr. Henningsen and the front office and each were to take their problems to him and that he and Mr. Burroughs would work them out Mr. Harry A. Dutton made a motion that this policy be adopted and that Mr. Leighton should so instruct Mr. Henningsen and clarify his think-
ing in detail This motion was seconded by Mr. A. W. Burroughs
and unanimously carried There being no further business to come before the meeting
it was adjourned at 12 o'clock noon H. A. Dutton Jr.

pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place
and objects of such neeting
The following directors were present H. A. Dutton Jr.
C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked the Secretary if there was any unfinished business to come before the meeting Mr. Burroughs stated that all business as recorded had been finalized whereupon Mr. Dutton asked for new business to be presented Mr. Eurroughs distributed copies of the financial statement and operating statement for the period from July 1 to December 31
1962 together with the income and expense statement covering the
Products Divisions of the San Francisco office
The financial statement was perused in detail Mr. Burroughs brought out the fact that he did not want the directors to be misled by the profit as shown on the Profit and Loss Statement as we had an impending write to be taken in a sizeable amount that as yet could not be determined Mr. Dutton made a motion that
this financial statement be accepted as presented This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried
The Profit and Loss Statement showing the Seattle and Portland offices again operating at a loss it was suggested by Mr. Dutton that we call Mr. Tagas who was present at our office into the meeting for his analysis of the situation and to secure from him his ideas and suggestions as to how this condition could in the near future be alleviated and how long it would take for it to be overcome entirely
Mr. Leighton stated that he would like to suggest based upon the time element involved that instead of closing this directors meeting it be recessed rather than adjourned and he would arrange for Mr. Tagas to be present at 9:00 o'clock the following morning to be heard This met with the approval of all present
The Products Divisional Profit and Loss Statement was perused and discussed in detail and it was suggested by Mr. Dutton that a detailed statement be given to each Products Manager so that they could be aware of the analysis of their division which would
enable them to correct any controlable expense items and realize
the amount of sales needed to cover their expenses Mr. Leighton
assured him this would be done
During a general discussion of our activities it was brought out by Mr. Burroughs that one of our order desk boys in the San Francisco office was making many errors and mistakes in recording
orders taken over the telephone due to a deficiency in hearing ability by telephone Mr. Burroughs stated that he had equipped
his telephone with an amplifier but it had not corrected the situation Mr. Dutton stated that while this an office management
problem he would like to make a suggestion that we adopt a
policy whereby a medical examination be required for all employees
obtained hereafter This matter was discussed and all present
being agreeable Mr. Dutton placed this proposal in the form of a motion This motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanim-
ously carried
This meeting was recessed at 12 o'clock noon to be reconvened

This meeting was held in the offices of the company 739
Bryant Street San Francisco California on March 27 1963
at 10:00 A.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present Harry A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton A. W. Burroughs
The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton
Jr., Chairman who requested the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting Mr. Burroughs as Secretary read the minutes and they were approved as read
The Chair determined from the reading of the minutes that the only unfinished business was that of supplying Divisional and San Francisco Products Managers with a statement of their overhead costs and asked if these statements had been distributed Mr. Leighton stated that each Divisional Manager had been given an analysis of their operating costs in detail and that all San Francisco Products Managers had been supplied with an
itemized statement of their costs and an explanation as to how
these costs were determined
The Chair then asked for a Treasurer's report stating that
heretofore this requirement had not been a routine policy of our meetings and that he would like to have a current liquidity report incorporated as a regular policy of all meetings Mr. Burroughs as Treasurer stated that daily as of necessity he had to know how the company stood cash and mentioned that
our cash position could change each day from 50.00 to 100,000.00
and that based upon our accounts receivable financing activity we have been at all times in a position to take advantage of all
allowable discounts However in some instances we have been as
much as ten days late in paying our current undiscountable bills He then reported the cash position as of the close of business of the previous evening and stated that hereafter when as and
if requested the report was available at all times Mr. Dutton then read his interpretation from notes taken at
the previous meeting of Mr. Tagas's reasoning for the North West's Divisional problem and its future prospects and stated that he would put his thoughts in writing and give all directors a copy
thereof in the next few days This analysis was subsequently submitted under date of March 29 1963 and is hereto attached
Mr. Leighton suggested that we withhold any determination of needed changes until the March 31st figures were available and analyzed He reminded all present that the North West's profitable period of operation usually began about March 1st and continued through August 31st of each year He also stated that the March figures could show a trend of their activity and subsequent monthly figures thereafter should give us an indication of necessary needed changes basing his opinion upon Mr. Tagas's
suggested acquisition of new lines which could and should be determined after Mr. Tagas's report at our next quarterly sales meeting This suggestion was accepted by all directors present
Mr. Dutton then brought up for the Directors consideration a possible additional remuneration for Product Managers and it was conceded by all present that in order to compensate Product Managers who take from their productive time to train sales trainees that they should be recompensed monetary to cover
their loss in so doing This matter was discussed and considered
from all phases of its eligibility and it was agreed that Product Managers should receive an ride from any trainee becoming productive to the extent of covering their designated overhead requirements and when as and if the trainee receives commissions based upon our standard form of commission contract then the Product Manager's override would be a percentage thereof to be determined when all directors are present to set such percentage
Mr. Dutton mentioned that at our meeting held February 7 1963 Mr. Moore had been authorized to have Mr. Wasser furnish samples of letterheads envelopes and calling cards this was done and the samples were submitted to the directors for their approval Mr. Dutton stated that in his opinion the letterheads and envelopes were acceptable but the calling cards were a bit overdone and should be modified to the extent of being localized
and titles other than officers of the company and Divisional
Managers be eliminated or designated as representatives only
Mr. Dutton's suggestion was considered by all present and Mr. Leighton was instructed upon his next trip to the Los Angeles office to authorize Mr. Moore to proceed with the printing of the letterheads and envelopes but to have Mr. Wasser submit a
new sample of our calling cards in line with the foregoing
suggestion Mr. Burroughs then brought up the matter of the future
required employees medical examination as authorized in the minutes of the meeting of March 21 1963. He suggested that in lieu of naring an examining doctor that we secure the per-
mission of our Health and Welfare Insurance carrier to author-
ize us to use their medical examiners which could be mutually beneficial This suggestion met with the approval of all directors present
A general discussion of our business proceeded and in the discussion it was brought out that our supplier contracts on various occasions had somewhat left us holding the bag upon cancellation Mr. Burroughs made a motion that hereafter when renewing present contracts or entering into any new contracts that a clause be inserted that when products incorporated therein become obsolete by virtue of suppliers improvements thereon they must redeem at cost any on hand inventory also that if a supplier cancels our contract they be obligated to accept the return of inventory held by us equal to the amount of their original order requirements This motion was seconded by H. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously approved
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 12:30 P.M.

Personal observations to
Northwest report
/ 763
A. Losses MUST be stopped
Wo cannot continue to allow
one area to drag down the balance of Westglas effort
B. Figures reveal no sizable increase in sales since the year 1960
C. with the exception of a lucky break in a shot
sale in 1961 no money has been made in this territory
since the fiscal year ending 6/30/5
d These losses have coincided exactly with the opening
of the Portland office and warehouse whereas this area
was formerly covered by a resident salesman
E. Whereas D above possibly might not be entirely
blamed for NW losses it is significant that this
office with the exception of 1960 HAS NEVER MADE
ANY MONEY
We are now in the third straight year of
financial loss in Portland
F. Portland office was admittedly opened with the prospect of capturing the plastic trade Even that wasn't enough and now this type of business is going down the drain
G. The average sales per month in the Portland office during the last six months period was only 13,410 This represents a little over 2000.00 per month gross profit Cur cost per month to operate this office is 3600 per month
H. The average sales per month in the Seattle office during
the same period was only 32,400 per month with Howard
Pilgrim and part time Rothweller selling This is the
same sales average per month Portland 32,400 # 21
Recommendations
p^rman
1. Close out Portland warehouse complex and substitue
resident salesman with an inventory of soveral drums of
plastic and a few cartons of G2 products all within a ware-
house in which we would have storage and shipping priveleges
2. Plan our NW sales strategy towards selling any and all
types of industry BUT Boeing so that Boeings tides of fortune
will not adversely affect Westglas Sell Boeing what we can
but DO NOT depend up this company for sulvation
3. Mold our Seattle overhead to this revised sales strategy
4. Get Howard on the OUTSIDE let Adie take care of inside
with one girl and ONE warehouseman flunky Adio can be trained
to take orders he's been there long enough to be familiar
3. Impress upon Howard that Seattle is NOT an orphan that we
expect to make a modest to decent net PROFIT every year with
the tools we have to work with
The rest must be up to him
WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
Observations 2
6. Place Howard on an incentive plan whereby he will get a porcentage on the average net profits made during the 1956-7-8-9 years 8500 to 9000 similar to the plan we gave Wally But in this case no participation until the
office nets the former average
7. Howard is a good man but his training stems from the electrical field He must be oriented to thermal thinking Just as our SF office solls our most ardent competitors FENCO and Western Asbostos so should he sell the top paying insulation competitors in that area up north
8. If as he says the plastic picture is dreary from a boat building standpoint remove the unnecessary plastic items involved and concentrate on those which
MOTO
9. Advise Howard
red figures from
that as of July 1st the Northwest
we want no more
10. During our regular quarterly sales management
meetings which are looming as the most important move
our company ever made we must consistently hammer away
at the improvement of the Northwest picture until it has
been returned to the right track
I am sure if lioward
was impressed with our GENUINE interest in him and the
NW operation the picture would soon change
11. Our management is not blameless in this respect either Recalling past pleas by Howard at the Palace Hotol in our own offices and in Los Angeles for new products such as epoxys and others which we could sell to the technical trade we have come up with only one Polyurethan form and we don't know yet if it will live up to our hopeful expectations If our company cannot come up with the asnwers better than we have during the past three or four years we had better revise our wwn thinking to cope with advancing technology

Mr. Dutton asked for unfinished business to be brought before the directors for their attention Mr. Burroughs stated that the only recorded unfinished business was the matter of Mr. Leighton's discussion with Mr. Moore on the suggested change in the printing of our calling cards Mr. Leighton stated that he had talked with Mr. Moore on this subject and that the calling cards thus far had
only been made up for their office and when additional calling cards were printed he would have the suggested changes made
The North West situation was then discussed and Mr. Leighton produced various charts and figures refuting Mr. Tagus oral report at the Directors meeting held on March 22 1963. Mr. Dutton
also stated that he had discovered many discrepancies in Mr. Tagus report and that in his opinion Mr. Tagas had given this report from memory and current observation but his statements were not borne out by facts and figures
Mr. Dutton suggested that we have Mr. Lowery from the Portland office attend one of our meetings and get from him his thoughts and observations on the North West Division This
matter was discussed and Mr. Leighton suggested that we have
them both down at the same time but interview Mr. Lowery prior to calling Mr. Tagas into the meeting and from the two reports discuss the matter in detail and see if their ideas would bring out a possible solution to their problem stating that he would arrange if possible a meeting with them for Wednesday April 17

This meeting was held in the offices of the company 739

10:00 A.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time

The following directors were present E. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr.
Chairman who requested the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting The Secretary read the minutes and they were unanimously approved as read
Mr. Dutton then asked for the Treasurer's Report Mr. Burroughs as Treasurer outlined our cash position as at the close of business
|
April 16 1963 Mr. Dutton stated that from the reading of the minutes he had
made notes of unfinished business and would bring them up categorically as time and conditions presented themselves He then stated that according to his notes of prior meetings that at our meeting
of December 18 1962 the Plastics Division had been placed on a six month probationary period earnings beginning January 1 1963 and that he had requested Mr. Leighton President to have
Mr. Leighton Jr. Divisional Manager of the Plastics Division available to give them a report on his division's activity covering the quarter ending March 31 1963
Mr. Leighton Jr. was invited to the meeting and presented a written report to all present a copy of which is hereto attached stating he would elaborate on this report in detail and proceeded to do so Following closely paragraph the
written report all of which was very enlightening and showed
considerable progress One of the points which he brought out was that if management would work more closely with his division
credit he felt more sales could be obtained He stated there were four accounts involved specifically naming two of them as Mid in Marysville California and National Fiberglass Corporation in Gilroy California with a subsidiary in Carrollton Texas that were not giving us the potential business available based upon our credit policy seemingly feeling that credit limits had been set two or three years ago without regard to actual facts surrounding the account as it stands today He further stated that competitors have pulled out all stops in an endeavor to obtain
this business
Mr. Burroughs stated that at no time has he ever set credit limits on any account but that past performance and present analytical information governed his allocation of credit to each specific account He also stated that if competitors wish to
secure the business or unconditional credit terms that is their prerogative since past experience has proven to us that when customers cannot meet their obligations within a reasonable period
according to our terms of sale it is more profitable to us to
let them have the business After further discussion on this sub-
ject Mr. Leighton Jr. was excused from the meeting at 11:00 A.M.
Thereupon Mr. Dutton requested that Mr. Lowery of our Portland office be invited into the meeting Mr. Leighton called Mr. Lowery into the meeting and outlined the company losses sustained by the Portland office over the past several years asking him if he had any suggestions that might change the present loss condition into
a profitable activity Mr. Lowery stated that in his opinion the
Portland cost of doing business should be eliminated as far as
possible suggesting that 1. We maintain a resident salesman only 2. Secure a competant telephone answering service for receiving and relaying telephone calls 3 Better divisional products information from all
Divisional Product managers to enable him to cover our
full line available to him in his territory with detailed information for engineering purposes 4 Utilize the services of a public warehouse for needed bulk
stock requirements
5 Establish a distributer in the Portland territory to handle
both cash and credit sales with reasonable stocks avail-
able meet needed will requirements This meeting was recessed for lunch at 12:30 P.M.
The meeting
was reconvened at 2:00 P.M. with both Mr. Tagas and Mr. Lowery present by invitation
Mr. Leighton summarized for Mr. Tagas's information Mr.
Lowery's thoughts and suggestions all of which were conceded by Mr. Tagas to be in the best interests of the Northwest Divi-
sion
Mr. Tagas then brought out the fact that Mr. Lowery had through personal business enterprises become financially involved
to the extent of admitting to him that in order to save himself
financially he could only afford to give our company 50 of his
available working time This matter was discussed in detail and
with the assurancoef both Mr. Tagas and Mr. Lowery if Mr.
Lowery's suggestions were put into effect the Northwest Division would not suffer sales by Mr. Lowery's half time activity explaining that with his alleviation of office warehouse and managerial duties he would still be giving us as much time as he is now spending in our behalf
After many questions and seemingly satisfactory answers being supplied Mr. J. O. Martin made a motion that Mr. Lowery be designated to negotiate the cancellation of our Portland lease and that he and Mr. Tagas through consultation and with Mr. Leighton's approval decide upon the inventory distribution and if at all possible close our Portland activity with the exception of Mr.
Lowery's suggestions as at the close of business April 30 1963 This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously
carried
Thereupon the matter of Mr. Lowery's compensation was discussed Mr. C. A. Leighton made a motion that we compensate Mr. Lowery on a half time basis based upon his present salary plus our normal commission pattern on sales derived from his personal
activities Also that he be permitted to retain our rental automobile the expenses of which are to be allocated on a 50-50
basis through June 30 1963 at which time a complete review of
his costs to us as against the profit derived shall then be adjusted on a commensurate basis This motion was seconded by Mr. J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
At this point Mr. Lowery was excused from the meeting Mr. Leighton then reported to the Board of Directors that Mr. Tagas had recently telephoned him that he was having problems with Mr. Pilgrim one of his salesmen whom he had learned had been seeking employment elsewhere Upon Mr. Tagas interrogating Mr. Pilgrim on the subject he admitted that he had been seeking other employment his feelings being that he was not receiving commensurate remuneration based upon his ability Mr. Tagas stated that throughout Mr. Pilgrim's employment with us he had had nothing but trouble with him continuously and this last problem was so to speak the straw that broke the camel's back Mr. Tagas stated that based upon our change over in the Portland releiving him from certain detailed duties and responsibilities he would be able to absorb Mr. Pilgrim's major accounts and allocate the balance of the accounts to Mr. Rothweiler and assured us that the loss in sales by terminating Mr. Pilgrim would be minor if any Mr. Dutton made a motion to terminate Mr. Pilgrim as of April 30 1963 with one month's salary as severance pay together with any commissions due him subject to returns and credit allowances as of that date This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously
carried
There being no further business to be brought before the Board of Directors the meeting was adjourned at 3:00 P.M.

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held in the offices of the company 739
Bryant Street San Francisco California on June 11 1963 at 9:00 A.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business
pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present
H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
A. W. Burroughs The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who requested the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting Mr. Burroughs Secretary read the minutes
and they were unanimously approved as read Mr. Dutton then inquired as to what steps had been taken in
the closing of the Portland activity Mr. Leighton stated Mr. Lowery was now working on a half time basis and his salary had been adjusted accordingly and that a distributor had been appointed for the area to handle the Cash Sale activity and have our products available for will call accommodations He further
stated that in as much as we had not been able to sublet the
building and as yet the landlord had not released us from our obligation the bulk of our Portland inventory still remained in the warehouse and that the Seattle office was drawing on it as
needed rather than transferring it to Seattle and making distribution from there but by June 30th all remaining inventory would be cleared from the premises and would be distributed to our other office locations maintaining public warehouse facilities for bulk shipments in the Portland area
Mr. Dutton then asked for the Treasurer's report Mr. Burroughs Ireasurer reported the cash position of the company as at the close of business the previous day The report was unanimously accepted as presented
Mr. Leighton stated that this meeting had been called for the purpose of reviewing our new Product Manager's Commission pattern and outlined this pattern in detail stating that the only thing yet to be determined was the percentage factor involved Also stating that he had asked Mr. Wallace Moore to be available for attendance at this meeting to convey to him the principal of the commission pattern so that the Directors would
have his reaction thereto He further stated that he had asked
Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr. to stand by so that he could present to the Directors his report on the activities and progress being
made in the Plastics Division Mr. Dutton stated that in his
opinion it would be better for Mr. Leighton Jr. to give his report first as he did not believe this report a time consuming matter and that he wished to reserve as much time as possible
for Mr. Moore's report and his reaction and comments on the proposed Product Manager's Commission Plan Mr. Leighton then invited Mr. Leighton Jr. into the meeting
Mr. Leighton Jr. said that he had not prepared a formal
report for this meeting but would give us an oral report from his notes stating that he would welcome interruptions and questions at any point that the Directors wished for clarification or questions involved
In summarizing this report it showed considerable improve-
ment profit even though as yet based upon his allocated
overhead his division was not as of now in the black but his current net losses were running approximately 150.00 per month
in the red
Mr. Burroughs brought out the fact that in his overhead allocation there was a provision for bad debts in an approximate
amount of 1,250.00 monthly and that based upon the reduction in bad debts for the current period he believed that bad debts would not exceed 500.00 a month and if this figure held true the June 30th closing figures beginning as at January 1 1963
would showa net profit to the company of approximately 3600.00
Mr. Leighton Jr. stated that with the improvement as shown
together with the new Foam Line he had secured and its potential he would like to have the Directors extend the probationary period for his Division another six months Mr. Leighton Jr. was then excused from the meeting
Mr. Leighton Jr request was discussed in detail and
it being the consensus of opinion that this was a reasonable request Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. made a motion that this proba-
tionary period be extended to December 31 1963 based upon the
report and figures as presented showing them to be reasonably correct from actual figures available after the closing of the
books June 30 1963. This motion was seconded by Mr. A. W.
Burroughs and unanimously carried
Mr. Wallace Moore was then invited into the meeting and
gave the Directors an oral report of his Division's improved
activities activities during the last three months and stated that with
his new salesmen all showing considerable improvement he was
very optonistic for the month of June and while not making any definite predictions felt that the six months period ending
December 31 1963 would show an increase percentage far
greater than those of the preceding four months
Mr. Leighton then explained the new commission pattern to
Mr. Moore in detail explaining fully all questions asked by Mr.
Noore
Noore
Mr. Moore said that this plan as presented seemingly
was
the answer to his problem but he would like to have time to give it further thought and to get the reaction of his Product Managers thereto and would report the outcome to Mr. C. A. Leighton
There being no further business to come before the meeting

Chairman who requested the reading of the minutes of the previous
Mr.
meeting Mr. Burroughs stated that because of the necessity of having to prepare and have available for this meeting our June 30th
closing figures he had not found time to prepare the formal min-
utes of the preceding meeting The chair then asked for the Treasurer's report
Mr. Burroughs
as Treasurer read the figures pertaining to the activities of the
fiscal year ending June 30 1963 assuring all Directors that he
would have available to them the formal report within the ensuing
week
The Chairman then stated that he had at hand Mr. Leighton's
minutes covering our quarterly Sales Manager's Meeting held July 18th and 19th and enumerating thereform asked what progress had
been made in the culmination of the ideas as contained therein
Mr. Leighton answered all questions as enumerated to the satisfaction of the Directors present
Mr. Leighton stated that this Sales Meeting had been of necessity extended one month and held on Thursday and Friday rather than on Monday or Tuesday as heretofore prescribed He also requested permission of the Board of Directors to change our quarterly sales meetings beginning October 15th and change the days to Thursday or Friday following thereafter the reasoning therefore being that our accounting department could not always have proper figures available on the 15th day following the closing quarters and that Thursday and Friday would be less obstructive to our
business

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held in the offices of the company 739
Bryant Street San Francisco California on September 16 1963 at 11:15 A.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time
place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present
H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
A. W. Burroughs
The meeting was called to order by Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who requested the reading of the minutes of the previous Directors meetings which had not heretofore been read or signed Mr. Burroughs read the minutes covering the meetings of August
27 and September 3 1963 and they were accepted as read
It being ascertained there was no unfinished business to be developed the Chair asked for new business to be brought before the meeting
Mr. Burroughs Secretary stated that this being a duly required meeting following the Stockholders Meeting the main purpose thereof was that of electing the Officers of the Company
for the ensuing year Mr. Dutton then stated that he would like to entertain a
motion that all present officers of our company be nominated in their present capacities Mr. Burroughs then placed in nomination
as Chairman of the Board Mr. Harry A. Dutton Jr. as President
Mr. C. A. Leighton and as Vice President Mr. J. O. Martin Whereupon Mr. Leighton then nominated Mr. Burroughs as Secretary
and Treasurer
There being no further nominations Mr. Dutton then made a motion that the nominations be closed This motion was duly
seconded and carried
The Chair then asked for a vote by the showing of hands and
all officers were unanimously elected as nominated Mr. Burroughs then brought to the attention of the Directors
that during the month of September 1962 we had authorized and subsequently paid a bonus to our office employees representing a token to them of our appreciation of their efforts in our behalf for the year ending June 30 1962. Mr. Burroughs explained that the year ended June 1963 showed an increase in operating profits of 14,000.00 He did not feel that they should be penalized for the loss sustained over which they had no control
Mr. Burroughs stated that he realized that our net profits
did not warrant any give away activities and would not suggest that we pay a bonus this year but was only asking the Directors
for an expression of their opinion so that he would be in a position to explain when asked the reason for not receiving a bonus
this year
This matter was discussed and Mr. Dutton stated
Mr.
Burroughs you are Treasurer of our company and as such do you feel that we can afford this bonus this year Mr. Burroughs
said Yes for the reason that during the year ended 1963 we
lost and paid out 74,462.21 that would not be reoccurring this
year Mr. Dutton then explained that upon the basis of our bonus
allocation last year he felt that our employees should accept in stride the ups and downs in profits or losses as obtained or sustained by us regardless of conditions that caused them He stated that in consideration of Mr. Burroughs thinking and based upon his statements he would be willing to entertain a motion that we acknowledge our appreciation by authorizing a bonus not
to exceed 5,000.00 Mr. Leighton then stated that in his belief this allocation
was very fair and placed the foregoing in the form of a motion This motion was seconded by Mr. Burroughs and unanimously carried
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 12:45 P.M.

at 9:30 A.M. for the purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present
H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton A. W. Burroughs The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who stated that Mr. J. O. Martin was absent from the meeting as he had been for the past few meetings because of illness also stating that he would dispense with the preliminary activities of the meeting inquiring of Mr. C. A. Leighton the purpose of calling this Special Meeting Mr. Leighton stated he would like to ask the Board of Directors to accept his retirement as President of our company as
of December 31 1963 explaining that he had served as a general
partner and president for more than twenty years and within a short time would attain the sixty year retirement age
He further stated that as a Stockholder and Director he was
vitally interested in the progress of our company and would appreciate any assignment allotted to him by the Directors if they did not entail full time duties
This matter was discussed in detail and Mr. Burroughs reluctantly conceded to Mr. Leighton's request provided that prior
to any announcement of his retirement that his successor as
president be determined Mr. Leighton stated that in his opinion Mr. Dutton's attributes and ability having been with our company since its inception and with his knowledge of our products and their sales potential also being of an age equitable to cope with the problems of our younger personnel would in his opinion be
the logical persotno succeed him as president He then asked Mr.
Dutton if he would accept the nomination for the office of President if so nominated Mr. Dutton stated that if Mr. Leighton was determined to retire as our president he would be willing to resign as Chairman of the Board and accept the nomination Mr. Leighton then nominated Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. There being no further nomina-
tions Mr. Burroughs made a motion that Mr. Dutton's resignation as Chairman of the Board be accepted and the nominations for the office of President be closed This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried
An election was requested by the showing of hands and Mr. Dutton was unanimously elected as President to succeed Mr. Leighton
upon his retirement
Mr. Leighton then stated that in his opinion the announcement of his retirement should be made as soon as possible This
announcement to be given first to our personnel and coinciding
therewith to our suppliers and then as deemed necessary within a
reasonable length of time to customers Mr. H. A. Dutton then mentioned that based upon Mr. Leighton's
past achievements and length of service that in his opinion the matter of a retirement fund should be discussed
Mr. Leighton then asked to be excused from the meeting during the discussion conceding that based upon his voluntary retirement he would leave it to the then present Directors to
discuss and determine his retirement remuneration Mr. Dutton
mentioned that the directors present would discuss this matter
thoroughly and based upon their proposal being accepted by Mr.
Leighton it could be consummated if accepted but that he would
like to have this settlement approved by our absentee Director
Mr. J. O. Martin when as and if he can obtain his approval prior
Mr.
to the time of Mr. Mr. Leighton's announcement of retirement
If such
approval cannot be obtained within the required time and with Mr.
Leighton's acceptance of the allocated retirement compensation it would meet legally our law requirements
Mr. Leighton then excused himself from the meeting
Mr. Burroughs in discussing this retirement remuneration with
Mr. Dutton brought out the fact that we had during the past six years deposited to Mr. Leighton's Retirement Annuity Fund
16,089.60 of which as of December 1 1963 he would have an ownership equity of 30 amounting to 4,826.88 and according to our
Pension Fund Contract is payable directly to him The remaining
balance of 11,262.72 would be a refund to our company against our next pension fund premium due December 1 1963. He proposed that as retirement pay we ask him to accept this 4,826.88 direct from
the Manufacturer's Life Insurance Company and that we consider as our contribution to his retirement fund to supplement the difference
between his full retirement fund amounting to 26,816.00 less
the 4,826.88 and credit the difference of 21,989.12 to an
account owing him and pay it to him over the next one to four
years as we determine can be done without impairing our working capital
Mr. Dutton acceded to this proposal but stated that in addition thereto based upon Mr. Leighton's intimate knowledge of the
management of our company and his intimate association with various suppliers and customers he would like to suggest that we retain him as business consultant with Directorship assignments at salary of 600.00 per month
Mr. Leighton was then asked to return to the meeting and was acquainted with the foregoing suggested retirement plan
Mr. Leighton stated that in his opinion if this understanding was ultimatelyapproved he felt that we were being very fair and as now presented it was acceptable to him
Thereupon Mr. Burroughs placed the a motion it was seconded byMr. Dutton and unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton then stated that Mr. Moore had received a request from the Sales Department of the General Electric Company to send a couple of our top Electrical Salesmen to their company
for an indoctrination of how the products which we handle are manufactured and be able to acquaint themselves with the product from its inception as raw material to the various end uses thereof as a finished product Further stating that Mr. Moore suggested that if this request be approved he would like to send Mr. Henningson and Mr. Goodrum to visit their plant beginning the morning of
October 6th through October 9th 1963 This matter was discussed and conceded to be important and
fulfills a requirement as recorded in the minutes of a Directors
meeting held March 29 1962
In accordance therewith Mr. Dutton made a motion that the
expenditures needed for this request be approved This motion was seconded by Mr. C. A. Leighton and unanimously carried
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 11:45 A.M.

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held at the offices of the company 739 Bryant
Street San Francisco on August 25 1960 at 10:00 A.M. for the
purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present
H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin
Mr. A. W. Burroughs The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked for the Treasurer's report covering the preceding year's activity Whereupon Mr. A. W. Burroughs distributed the financial statement together with the statement of income and expense for the
fiscal year ended June 30 1960 explaining that he was distributing
these statements reluctantly based upon profits as shown thereby He stated that profits as shown by the statement did not necessarily present a fair earnings picture for the reason that and with
directorship approval many promotional endeavors were inaugurated
during this fiscal year and the expenditures necessitated thereby amounted to a considerable sum however the experiments were deemed necessary for the progress good will and potential enhancement of profits to be obtained therefrom in future years and further explained that during the past year we took one of our outstanding plastic salesmen out of the field viz Mr. C. A. Leighton Jr. to
head up our new Promotional and Advertising Department Through
this transition a certain calculated risk of loss in sales was to be
considered
The first productive activity of this new department caused by
the Glidden Companies inertia inefficiency and ridiculous outright
mistakes in packaging delivering and giving service to our customers
was to open our own warehouse and packaging facilities for the Glidden
Company products this causing additional expense and during its
early stages in getting it operating efficiently and in setting up the stock inventory additional warehouse help had to be maintained
The opening of a Salt Lake City branch had been authorized
which also was a calculated risk
This turned out to be an unsuccess-
ful venture causing an additional loss as shown by the statement figures
During the month of August 1959 normally one of our best months there was a trucking strike lasting twenty during
which time we could neither receive nor ship any merchandise or products by automotive carrier transportation facilities Also there was a national steel strike during the fiscal year tieing up many activities normally purchasing our products which lasted for a period of approximately seventy days This caused an additional loss
of sales
In the North West occasioned by the aviation industries
inactivity Boeing's down and the resulting effects therefrom caused our Seattle office which always has produced a profit for
us to come up with a loss for the year This aviation down
also effected the profits of our Los Angeles office
We also had various foreseeable and reoccuring expenses
in rejuvenating the Berry Street warehouse in San Francisco and
having to roof the Los Angeles premises and preparing efficient workable facilities in our newly opened Portland branch
These are not excuses for our loss of income
they are factual
reasons However with the exception of the Salt Lake venture all
other newly instigated activities are producing favorable results
which will be reflected in future operating statements
In concluding the Treasurer's report Mr. Burroughs stated that
while his report was lengthy he felt that certain extenuating
conditions and circumstances made it necessary Whereupon he turned
the meeting back to the Chair
Mr. Dutton then asked if there was any further business to be
brought before the meeting and Mr. Leighton stated that in accordance
with his committment contained in the minutes of the Directors Meeting
held June 30 1960 he had prepared comparative data re Salesmen's
Expense for the fiscal year ended June 30 1960 showing the branches
and their salesmen the number of lunches reported by each the total
cost for each the average per month and the cost per month This statement also covered the total miscellaneous expenditures by each
the total special expenditures by each the total car expenditures by
each and the gross profit for each summarizing the percentage of
expense to gross profit for each office
The information contained therein was very enlightening and
again showed where this type of expense could be curtailed Mr.
Leighton explained that this was the preliminary report and further
stated that a monthly report containing like information would be
sent to the directors each month so that if they so wished they could
keep a running record with the fiscal year ending 1960 as a basis and
follow the trend for each office and each office's salesmen as a
continuing record Mr. Dutton then stated that with his announcement of the meeting
he had requested Mr. Leighton Jr. to be present prior to the closing of this meeting for a resume of progress being made by his department Whereupon Mr. Leighton Jr. was invited into the meeting and stated that inasmuch as he did not believe he was able to give them an extemporaneous report in sufficient detail he had prepared a paper outlining his and his department's progress and current activities This paper was read and each and all expressed their appreciation of his and his department's endeavors
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 1:30 P.M.

meeting Mr. Burroughs stated that he had requested this meeting be
called so that he could present a problem confronting one of our employees viz Larry Kietzke explaining that during Mr. Leighton's vacation period he had been confronted with a situation caused by our office acquiring a full time electrical product division salesman Since we did not have anyone in our office with sufficient knowledge of the electrical products to be able to give customer service order desk wise and with the time and expense involved for the order desk boys having to check with Los Angeles to see if stock was available because at that time we did not carry electrical materials in stock and also having to determine from them in many instances whether or
not our products would meet their required needs by telephone or Twix and then relay this information to the customer and if the order was secured again contacting Los Angeles instructing them to ship if available or secure the needed merchandise to be able to fill the order Mr. Burroughs stated that based upon the foregoing
he called a meeting with Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. to resolve this matter and after discussing it C. A. Leighton Jr. Chuck Henningsen and Joe Kay were called into the meeting After fully discussing
the matter Mr. Burroughs suggested to those present at this meeting
that he would like to contact Mr. Kelly to see if he did not have
someone in his office that could be transferred to our office with sufficient knowledge of the electrical activity to eliminate this expense and confusion which I might also add detiorated from the service we were previously able to give our customers on other products It was agreed at this meeting that this thought was the answer to our problem and Mr. Burroughs was designated to follow through along these lines
Thereupon Mr. Burroughs stated that he did contact Mr. Kelly and Mr. Kelly's statement was that he would give us full cooperation in this matter but that Larry Kietzke was his electrical order desk salesman and that if he had sufficient time to train a replacement for his order desk he would upon Larry Kietzke's agreeing thereto transfer him to our office stating that with the electrical products knowledge of various people in his office the new man could take over and that Kietzke with his experience would be able to handle our requirements efficiently
This all came to pass and Kietzke was transferred to our office
This explanation gets us back to Larry Kietzke's problem
In the early part of December Larry Kietzke came to Mr. Burroughs stating that through his being transferred to the San Francisco office he had incurred various and sundry obligations to the extent that at the present time he was unable to meet these obligations by approximately 200.00 per month that Mr. Burroughs asked him to list all of his obligations and needed living expenses
and he would take it to the Board of Directors for consideration
Upon receiving this statement he found that Mr. Leighton was one of
his creditors to the amount of approximately 2,000.00 and stated
that he then took this matter up with Mr. Leighton and Mr. Leighton
stated that he had been mislead in securing the 2,000.00 for the
bas Kietzke had told him that this was a temporary loan to tide him over until he sold his Southern California home The proceeds from which he would be able to repay this obligation but this did not work out When he was able to dispose of the Southern California home he did not realize any proceeds therefrom and instead of being able to retire Mr. Leighton's obligation it was necessary for Mr. Leighton to make the 95.00 monthly payments thereon which is part of the 200.00 monthly shortage
After discussing this matter Mr. Leighton stated that Mr. Burroughs had secured and recorded a second mortgage in his behalf Secretary and that he would be willing to carry the payments on the obligation in which he was involved temporarily Whereupon the directors authorized Mr. Burroughs to advance Kietzke 100.00 per month which would be the deficiency required to meet Kietzke's obligations for a period of three months only and that at the expiration of this three month period it be brought up to the
directors for further consideration whereupon Mr. Burroughs placed the foregoing in the form of a motion this motion was seconded by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. and unanimously carried
Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. then brought up the matter of salesmen's commission contracts and it was brought out that all salesmen's contracts were not uniformly written and it was his suggestion that this situation be corrected and stated that in his opinion Mr. Leighton Sr. together with Mr. Burroughs Mr. Kelly Mr. Tagas
and C. A. Leighton Jr. have a meeting and arrange for a rewriting
of these contracts modifying them to meet a more realistic current
situation and to be submitted to the Board of Directors for their consideration
There being no further business to come before the meeting it was adjourned at 12:00 o'clock noon

MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WESTERN FIBROUS GLASS PRODUCTS COMPANY
This meeting was held at the offices of the company 739 Bryant
Street San Francisco on March 1 1961 at 10:00 A.M. for the
purpose of transacting any and all business pertaining to the affairs of the corporation and we hereby waive all statutory and law requirements as to notice of time place and objects of such meeting
The following directors were present H. A. Dutton Jr. C. A. Leighton
J. O. Martin A. W. Burroughs
The meeting was called to order by Mr. H. A. Dutton Jr. Chairman who asked for unfinished business to be brought before the
meeting
Mr. Burroughs as Secretary stated that the only unfinished business was the commission discussion of the previous meeting Thereupon Mr. Leighton stated that he had held a meeting as directed in Mr. Kelly's room at the Palace Hotel with Mr. Burroughs Mr. Kelly Mr. Tagas and C. A. Leighton Jr. all present for the purpose of reviewing and the modification of salesmen's contracts
There were many different thoughts and ideas relative to needed changes therein but inasmuch as the thinking was so diversified no basic agreement could be reached and it was decided that all present put their thoughts in writing and submit them to Mr. Leighton to make a composite basis for the rewriting of these contracts which as of this date there has not been sufficient time for the completion
thereof
Thereupon the Chair asked for the Treasurer's report and Mr. Burroughs as treasurer distributed the company's balance sheet and operating statement for the six months period ending December
31 1960 which was perused in detail and based upon the figures as
shown thereon it was decided that drastic action must be taken
Mr. Burroughs explained that Mr. Leighton had taken what he deemed proper steps to reduce the overhead but that in many cases they were not put into effect in time to reflect the advantages
obtained therefrom in the financial statement
Mr. Leighton then took over and offered to accept a reduction
in salary of 10,000.00 a year Mr. Burroughs then stated that he would be willing to accept a reduction of 2,500.00 a year Mr. H.
A. Dutton Jr. stated that he appreciated the offering of these salary reductions and that when as and if the company's earnings improved enough to warrant the restoration of any and all salary reductions they should be restored percentagewise according to the
reductions taken Mr. Dutton then made a motion that the reductions
as offered should be accepted This motion was seconded by J. O. Martin and unanimously carried
Mr. Leighton then stated that in his opinion three salesmen could be eliminated from our overhead costs without seriously effecting our sales volume and that Mr. Kelly had checked his office and decided that in addition to the reduction in his sales force already made he could without seriously effecting his office efficiency release four people from his office force In the Northern Division Mr. Tagas by arranging his setup was able to reduce his personnel by two and onehalf people

2. At a meeting held January 7 1949 a limitation of 75,000.00 was placed upon the amount of inventory to be main-
tained by the corporation stating that the growth of our company had caused this direction to become obsolete Mr. Leighton made

This motion was
seconded by Mr. Leighton and unanimously carried Mr. Burroughs stated that while reviewing the Corporate
Directorship minutes he had indexed what he considered pertinent
directives contained therein so that quick references could be made thereto when needed and had placed this index in the front

that this index would be maintained and modified as deemed necessary
No other unfinished business recorded Mr. Dutton then in order of new business mentioned that he had
attempted to keep Mr. Leighton currently informed of our activities in detail during his absence but would like to review the one outstanding change in and acquisition to our organization which was approved by him via R.C.A. communication hereto attached and made
a part of these minutes Mr. Dutton stated that this being the first directors meeting
held with a quorum present he would like to review the transaction so that it can be formally ratified The subject matter being that of hiring our former associate Mr. Gordon Blackwood and the subsequent activity pertaining thereto Mr. Dutton stated that Mr.
Blackwood had contacted him on December 15 1963 advising him that
he Mr. Blackwood had terminated his association with his former employer after due notice of resignation and the formal acceptance thereof and was seeking employment elsewhere Mr. Dutton said that he told Mr. Blackwood he was interested and arranged an interview at his home with Mr. Burroughs present During this interview it was brought out that Mr. Blackwood felt that regardless of what connection he would make with any allied activity he could have that association be accepted by Raychem Corporation as a distributor for Raychem and Rayclad products
After remuneration had been discussed it was concluded that
Mr. Blackwood and his attorney meet with us and our attorney Mr. Leon Schiller to prepare a draft of an employment agreement After which a formal agreement was drawn that was mutually accepted Mr. Dutton stated that time being the dominating factor he had by correspondence acquainted Mr. Leighton with the contents of the rough draft but had not cleared with him the formal agreement
which contained minor changes and instructed the secretary to
supply Mr. Leighton with a copy of the formal agreement as consum-
mated

The meeting was concluded with assurance to us that all con-
ditions being compatible we would be designated a distributor of their products covering the same area as now covered by H. I. Thompson Company
Mr. Leighton stated that with this further enlightenment he was in accord with Mr. Dutton and Mr. Burroughs thinking and made a motion that their action be accepted and hereby ratified The motion was duly seconded and unanimously carried
Mr. Burroughs then brought to the attention of the Board of Directors that Mr. Blackwood when leaving our company was a
director and vice president in charge of sales and that in his opinion upon renewing our association he should be reinstated in that capacity first appointed as a director to fill the unexpired term of the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. J.

was placed in the form of a motion by Mr. Leighton This motion
was seconded by Mr. Burroughs and unanimously carried Mr. Dutton stated that he felt that for the unexpired term of
office that a new alignment on official capacities should be made and suggested to the directors for their consideration that Mr. Burroughs be absolved from the duties of secretary and upon his acquiescence thereto Mr. Leighton assume this office and duties of secretary and that Mr. Burroughs be made vice president and treas-
urer of our company
Mr. Burroughs stated that he would tender his resignation as secretary provided the foregoing suggestion was placed in the form
of a resultion and officially resolved Mr. Leighton then stated
that he would gladly accept the office of secretary and fulfill the duties of that office to the best of his ability Mr. Dutton then asked for a vote by the showing of hands and all nominees were unanimously elected to their respective offices as proposed
Mr. Blackwood was then invited into the meeting and Mr. Dutton acquainted him with his new responsibilities Whereupon Mr. Blackwood acknowledged his appreciation of our consideration of his integrity and assured all present that he would fulfill his duties to the best of his ability as prescribed by the Board of Directors

amendment that no two key people travel on the same plane key
people to mean personnel from Product Managers upward in official capacity This motion was seconded by Mr. Blackwood and unanimously
carried Mr. Burroughs then brought to the attention of the Board of
Directors that since his direct affiliation with the company we had
not had an independent audit made of our books and records and that he would like to suggest that an audit be made stating that he and

Mr. through an affiliated association recommended the Alexander Grant accounting firm with head offices in Chicago be contacted for consultation Mr. Burroughs stated he had contacted their local office and he and Mr. Dutton met with Mr. Reed their local representative relative to the procedure and cost thereof
Mr. Reed proposed that they start with our closing figures of
June 30 1963 through December 31 1963 as a preliminary audit and
would offer suggested procedure changes and follow through to the
close of our fiscal year ending June 30 1964 to survey our invent-
ory so that they would be in a position to issue us a certificate of clearance If no complications arose they estimate the cost through this audit to the final consummation would not exceed
3,000.00 complications meaning that should defalcations or other unanticipated errors or ommissions arise they would submit to the
Board of Directors their findings and revise their charges accord-
ingly Mr. Leighton made a motion that Mr. Dutton and Mr. Burroughs follow through with this audit This motion was seconded by Mr. Blackwood and unanimously carried

This concluded the review of old business Mr. Dutton then asked for new business
1 Mr. Dutton pointed out that the current three year lease on 739 Bryant Street expires in August 1964.
