The California Lumber Merchant

108 West 6th Street

Los Angeles 14, California

Ever since reading the very thorough coverage you gave the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association Exposition in your January 1 issue of California Lumber Merchant, I've warlted to drop you a note expressing our thanks. NIr. Dwyer and l-in fact all the staff here in Washington, D.C. -were delighted with the fine picture coverage as well as the fact that you gave West Coast readers the whole program story.

We hope you will let us know any time we can work with you in getting the Exposition story before the dealers in your area. Already a great deal of interest is building up among manufacturers as well as dealers in anticipation o{ our San Francisco show coming up in November 1960. It will be the first national-scale showing of building products in any western city and we are looking forward to making it a very important event.

Please let us know any time we can cooperate with you to promote interest among western dealers in both the 1959 NRLDA Exposition in Cleveland, and our 1960 show on the west coast sincerelv.

Sorry to be late with my Subscription but have found I can't get along without The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT. I have retired from the lumber business, having been in it since 1904, just 55 years, but with so many wonderful friends that are still active I enjoy knowing through the CLM what they are doing. My heart is still a lumberman's.

Having been a golfer since 1903 and out of business, they put me to work as Manager of the La Cumbre Golf and Country Club here in Santa Barbara, Calif. In the old course here we had many Hoo-Hoo and Lumbermen's tournaments, in which I have many trophies and cups to remember them with.

We have one of the finest clubs and golf courses anyplace, and maybe some association group would like to have a conference or convention up here again sometime. The oldtimers will remember.

Thanks again for The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHAI{T. I have read it since 1923 wl-ren lack Dionne started publishing it. Say hello to Jack for me.Sincerelv.
