The member-owned PAL buying cooperative helps independent lumber dealers be more profitable.  Here is what some of our members have to say:

PAL traders work for PAL members, freeing their time for the most important tasks:

"I can't afford to have a buyer for what it costs me to belong to PAL.  My PAL traders get me quotes quickly." 

~Jim McShirley, owner, Sulphur Lumber Allied Building Center, Sulphur Springs, Indiana.  PAL member since 1993.

PAL programs, pricing and rebates offer members a unique advantage:

"Once I worked PAL's programs into my system, the advantages showed up quickly-twice a year in my rebate checks!"

~Garland Mast, owner, G&W Lumber Company, Accident, Maryland.  PAL member since 1998.

PAL Co-op's Midwestern values form the foundation of long-term relationship with retail lumber dealers of all sizes, in very diverse markets:

"PAL employees are straight shooters.  I feel I'm dealing with honest people with a lot of integrity."

~Jim Graves, owner, Jonesville Lumber Company, Jonesville, Michigan.  A Charter PAL member, Jonesville, then owned by Jim's great-grandfather, was one of the original six members in 1937.
