Proxy letter Solicirs Pocific Cosst Co. Shqreholders

A proxy letter, sent out on February 1, 1961, soliciting backing from the stockholders of The Pacific Coast Company, and signed by three members of the company's stockholders committee, urged stockholders "to give the board a majority who are determined to exert their best efrorts to improve the earning power of the company." The Pacific Coast Company sold the majority of its lumber interests in Mendocino County to Union Lumber Company late last year.

Unlike proxy statements which bitterly attack the management, this one was relatively mild. It said the committee believes new blood is required in the board of directors. The letter was sigled by three members-Fred W. Meyer, chairman; Richard J. Fruite and Howard Mack. The committee wants the board increased from nine to 15. It names six men, including Delbert W. Coleman, president of the Seeburg Company, that it proposes as board members.
