Large Shipments of Redwood Coofing Tower Stock Go To South Africa

Ricardo J. Gutierrez, wide awake manager of the Redwood Export Company, reports the handling of a number of large shipments of California Redwood cooling tower stock. In far away South Africa, in the town of Vereeniging, near Johannesburg, the Victoria Falls Power Company is erecting five cooling towers, using about 200,000 feet of Redwood lumber for each tower, or a total of approximately one million feet of California Redwood. This large order was filled by the Hammond & Little River Redwood Co. at pany and its alert agents have worked for years on the London architects. Another example of this kind of constructive selling is the shipment of Redwood cooling tower stock for Bombay, sold through Wm. Jackson Co., agents for the Redwood Export Company in Bombay and with head offices in London. During the past eighteen months export shipments of California Redwood lumber. for cooling tower stock alone, have amounted to about one and a half million feet. A large part of these recent shipments comprises stock manufactured bv Hammond & Little River Redwood Company.

Change in Name

Effective January 1, 1936, the name of the Johnson Anarvalt Lumber Co. rvas changed to the Anawalt Lumber & Materials Co. The announcement states: "Our President, A. Burlangame Johnson, passed away in July, 1934, after a mutually satisfactory association of over twelve years. Several years before Mr. Johnson's death, H. F. Anawalt and Bernard Anawalt entered into an agreement to purchase Mr. Johnson's entire interest, the transaction being consummated with his heirs shortly after his death. We feel that a name more indicative of both ownership and scope of operation is advisable."

There will be no i:hange in the long established policies of the company. The only change in personnel of the company is the installation of W. C. Reiger as secretary and auditor. Mr. Reiger has been acting as the company's auditor for years. F. C. (Tobe) Lamar will continue in charge of their Tujunga yard, and the main office of the company will continue at Montrose.

Won't Kick ,I 1936 Equals 1935

their Redwood mills in Samoa, on Humboldt Bay. Four more towers of the same size are to be built by the same power company, bringing the total footage of California Redwood lumber for this purpose to more than one and three quarter million feet. Still another order for Redwood cooling tower stock, amounting to approximately 200,000 feet rvas shipped, through Redwood Export Company orders, for the municipality of Johannesburg. Last year a shipment of California Redwood was sent to Pretoria, South Africa, for construction of two'cooling towers by the Pretoria Iron Works. Mr. Gutierrez gives much credit for all this South African business to the company's live wire agents there, Emile Levy & Co., Ltd. Thev have represented the Redwood Export Company in that country for eight years and have given splendid co-operation in promoting the merits of Redwood in a most constructive manner. This is especially true of C. R. Thompson, the partner in Emile Levy & Co., Ltd., who handles the sale of Redwood for his company. Many of the South African firms have headquarters in England, where the Redwood Export Com-

H. H. Barg, Barg Lumber Company, San Francisco, hardwood importers, says that his company had a very good year in 1935, and that when the uncertainty due to the presidential election is taken into account they will have no kick coming if business in 1936 is equal to their 1935 total.
