Fowler, G D

A wood yard selling split firewood has been developed in Glastonbury, Connecticut, in conjunction with a company which builds 18,000 All Nighter wood stoves annually. Investments required to begin the retailing operation for firewood included purchase of a LaFont firewood processor to produce at least 10,000 cords per year, and 5 1/2 acres of land with a six-foot high fence ($20,000) and a gravel surface. Total investment was $300,000. Wood will be sold for $59.00 per full cord. Cost will be calculated by weight of vehicles entering and leaving the yard.
