In 1991, Ron Ryther and his wife started an 18,000 sq. ft. retail store, Builder’s Bargain Center in the industrial park, at White City, Oregon. The store consisted mostly of wood moulding when they started. They began Triple R Wholesale in the back 9,000 sq. ft. building. Ron would haul molding from the mills, sort and grade it, for the store. It was not long before they hired a person to work with his wife in the store. Within in a couple of years, sales grew and they moved the wholesale business to 18,000 sq. ft, that became available in the north end of the building. The building consists of five bays, 60 x 150, 9,000 sq .ft. each. This sorting area eventually became our re-man mill. Ron again had to move the wholesale portion of the business to 36,000 sq. ft. next door. They processed moulding, sorted and graded doors, graded and palatalized colonial porch posts, spindles, columns, bases and caps along with many other products, including over 60,000 gallons of recycled latex paint, sold in 5 gallon buckets.

Builder’s Bargain Center continued to grow, having over 450 patterns of moulding, edge glued panels, paint, hardware products, windows ,doors interior and exterior, sheet goods, some lumber. Eight years ago the Rythre’s two sons became owners of the retail store where they put in a pre-hung door shop and a cabinet shop, building all wood custom cabinets.

The mill continued to produce many different products over the years. They re-worked any wood products not meeting their grade for sale. Some of the products were: corner shelves, parts for ores and paddles, pulley block for windows, gennies and survey lath for surveying the industry. The mill also remanufactures moulding to meet their grade. They have molders, straight line rip saws, single blade and multi blade, plainer and chop saws and a horizontal band re-saw.
