In an effort to expand service and sell a variety of products, MarquartWolfe Lumber Co. has moved their offices to a two-acre distribution yard in Orange.

This well-known western lumber company has been in business for some 17 years, beginning in 1953 when Horace Wolfe purchased control from Dick and Tom Marouart.

Rounding out three generations of a western lumber family is Sterling Wolfe. Jr., who has been with the organization some 6 years. Other long-time employees include Ralph Norum with 15 years and Bob Golding with l0 years.
