Re: New Name of HELMS-BROWN LUMBER COMPANY

From: Stan Helms, Frank Brown and Sam lt'litzel

Due to an increasing amount of confusion resulting fron the sim- ilarity between the nane of our firm and the names of other whole- sale lunber concerns, we feel it best to return to the use of our original firm name, effective February 15, 1956.

We know that the lumber business is qulte confusing enough without adding to it, and we do look forward to being able to continue servicing your inquiries to the best of'our ability. Remenber, no- thing el-se is changed--j ust the name.

Slncerely,

Stan, Frank and Sam
