John Vertin started early in life to make lumber and wood products his career. A native of Los Gatos, California, he spent three years at Santa Clara University, and during his summer vacations was employed by the Division of Forestry as a cruiser, -estimator and scout. Following his discharge from the Army, John entered San Jose State University as a Forestry major.

In 1947 he joined the staff of the Bakersfield Box Company at Woodlake, Tulare county, and learned the sawmill operations from the ground up, making the important post of "Whistle Punk" the very first day. John worked his way to the top and in 1950 was named general manager of the firm. In 1952 he decided that selling lumber was more along his line than manufacturing and producing it. It was then that he joined the sales staff of the Golden West organization.

"We expect to expand into wider fields of distribution during 1959 and John is the boy to deliver the woods," said Ed Dursteler in his announcement of the appointment.
