Dear Dave:

Want you to know how much I aPpreciate your printing the "examination" I used to give our salesmen in the May issue of The Merchant.

This brings back many happy memories when I was so active in the lumber business.

You managed to capture the highlights of the trip.

Very truly yours,

THE REAI RECORD?

Dear Dave:

We noted with interest the picture on p. 23 of the June issue of the "Largest carload of lumber ever recorded."

That may be a big car in Oregon, but 7 years ago we received a number of cars which were far larger and they were loaded in single (not articulated) cars. Ttre enclosed photograph shows the first of this series to come in. Subsequently, we received a larger car containing just over 115,000' and we happen to have only an aerial photograph of that car being received.

We really think you should consider printing a retraction despite the accomplishments of our good friends at Hampton.

With kindest personal regards, I remain Mead B. Kibbey Manager
