E.5. Brush & Sons Stqrts I lth Yeqr Wirh Brond-New Fqcilities

E. S. Brush & Sons, formerly located at Pier 92 in San Francisco, celebrated its tenth year of serving the industrial, custom and commercial builders in the Citv Area bv moving to larger and more workable quarters at 1313 Armstrong, between Hawes and Ingalls, in the southern industrial section of San Francisco. The company's business phones-Mlssion 8-2323 and Mlssion 8-2182-remain unchanged.

The new yard covers some 2 acres of level property and is set up for all-mechanical handling. Facilities include a brand-new office building', a new 50 by 80 clear-span warehouse f_or dry storage and a new spur track, compliments of the Southern Pacific.

Unfortunately, the. company's relocation in its new quarters could not be reviewed by its founder, the late Edmund S. Brush, who died suddenly just short of a month before the firm was to move (CLM g/I/ffi). Mr. Brush, who had spent his lifetime in lumber, established E. S. Brush & Sons. at its original Pier 92 location during 1950, after terminatlng a 4O year long association with toop Lumber & Mill Company which closed, its San Francisco yard the same year. Mr. Brush was vice-president and manager of Loop's San Francisco yard when the consolidation took effect.

Now in the capable hands of Brush's two sons, Edouard and Frank, the company continues on with a new physical appearance-but the same tried-and-true policy with which Edmund Brush built his business-dependable, honest dealings with customers and suppliers alike. Both Frank and Ed received their initial lumber training with the Loop organization, Frank joining his dad at the outset of the business, and Ed picking up a couple of years of valuable wholesale experience, first with the late George Kendrick, and later in his own wholesale office on San Francisco's Market Street.

He Knew His Ploce

Bill Palmer, the village carpenter, had given so generously of his time and services in building the new little memorial church that it was decided to allow him to speak at the dedicatory services. Bill hated to do it-it was entirely out of his line-but he also hated to overlook an opportunity to make more friends. So he made a try at it.

"Ladies,and gcntlemen," said Bill, stammering, "I realize that I am a lot better fitted for a scaffold than for a platf6gg1-"

Then, amid roars of laughter, he sat down.

A Proper Inscription

They were discussing a silver butter dish which they planned to send to some newlyweds. What would they put on the card accompanying the gift? "Anything you like," suggested the husband. So the wife thought a while and then wrote:

"For butter--+r worse."

Lady, if you see me lying, On the ground and (maybe) dying, Let my gore run, bright and free, Don't attempt to bandage me. While there's life there's hope, so pet, Don't apply the tourniquet; Do not give for my salvation

Artificial respiration ! Do not stretch my bones or joints, Do not press my pressure points ! If 'queer symptoms' you should see, Don't experiment on me. If I'm suffering from shock, Take a walk around the block ! If you must be busy, pray, Help to keep the crowds away ! So, whatever my condition, Phone at once for a physician ! Let me lie; I'll take a chance, Waiting for the ambulance ! From first aid I beg release, LadY' let me die in Peace'

AMY GRIEF

Four O'Clock in the Morning

The Boston advertising man, Tim Thrift, told this story in Tom Dreier's "The Vagabond": said Eph, "what animile is de mos' noted fo' "De skunk," said Mose positively. "De mo' away fum him de bettah it am fur yo'." ttMosertt its fur?"

A citizen of a New Hampshire town died. There were no relatives. At his death he left two sealed communications. One was to his lawyer, and the other to the undertaker. The letter to the lawyer was to be opened only AFTER the funeral. The undertaker was told exactly what to do. The minister and pallbearers were named and were to be paid for their services, and the time of the funeral was set for four o'clock in the morning.

Just four of the old man's neighbors attended the funeral, at what to the rest of the people must have seemed an ungodly hour. When the letter to the lawyer was opened it was learned that the old man's estate was to be divided pro rata among those who attended his funeral. The value of the estate was $400,000.

Definire

The man went into the drug store and said to the clerk: "I want a tablet." The clerk asked, "What kind of a tablet?" The man said, "A yellow tablet." The clerk said, "What's the matter with you?" The man said, "I want to write a letter."
