- 5f3cb81d856ee6657a538d86f894957b2dd545285cf11d0e7e23ffefd368df3f quote "Lumber prices were very high, and wood was being replaced by paper, fiberboard, paper-overlaid veneer, plastic and metal."..."Both the Seattle and Tacoma plants were getting older, more difficult to maintain, and unable to accommodate new products and flow patterns. Pollution problems, noise and smoke, were plaguing the operations "..."Management was in transition. Ferdinand J. Nist, Sr., remained nominally the president, but he was approaching 80 and was not interested in branching our into new products and new buildings. Following the pattern set by his father and grandfather, Ferd, Sr., was seeing his sons take over the reins. Gene, who had been managing the Tacoma plant since 1938, was also vice-president. In 1961 Emmet was officially named vice-president in charge of the Seattle plant, which he was managing."...."That Jacob, Michael and Ferd, Sr, kept low profiles is evident from the scarcity of information about them. Their names were seldom in the papers and they did not talk much about their lives. They did allow the name "Nist Bros." to appear in small print on the Seattle Box Company letterheads during some of the early years. Then, in 1968 as times changed, Gene developed the "PerfectioNIST" trademark for the family company."..."During the sixties the fourth generation of Nists kept up a constant search for better ways of using their labor and raw materials and for developing new products."..."In 1962, Seattle Box introduced its new modular panel package—50 pieces of plywood veneer panels which could produce 350 combinations of containers."... "Several years earlier, Tacoma Box had become the Northwest distributor for those ingenious fasteners called Klimp fasteners, which replaced nails, thus cutting costs by a third and allowing reuse."..."Introduced during this period were moving and storage containers and a car kennel kit."..."the sujiko, or salmon caviar box, a unique container originally made in Japan and which Seattle Box was willing to perfect to their Japanese customers' specifications."..."This policy of developing products to meet specific customer needs led to a liquid concentrate container which turned out to save the Dole Company $100,000 per year."..."The company was beginning to think seriously about moving, and many proposals were looked at. There was a tentative plan to expand in the tidelands area, and many parcels of land in other areas were considered.".
