Why Ole Quit
Ole and Pete were working in the Northern logging woods, and the boss sent them to the river to roll a bank of logs down into the water.
To the surprise of the boss, Pete came into camp a couple of hours later, reporting that Ole had quit. He had no good explanation why, just insisted that Ole had quit. The exasperated boss finally said to him, "Now you tell me exactly what happened to make Ole quit !"
"Vell," said Pete, "you listen and Ay vill tole you. Me and Ole ve ban rolling a beeg log down de bank. Dere ban a beeg knot on de side of de log on de end by Ole. Ve turn de log over vidout canthooks and de knot she catch in de front of Ole's shirt, yust as de log starts rolling down de bank. Den Ole he roll over de log, and den de log roll over Ole, and down dey vent rolling into de river, and Ay ain't ever seen Ole no more. Ay tank Ole yust quit, -dat's all !"
Shorp Pork lumber Co. Chqnges Nqme
Pacifica, Calif,-The Sharp Park Lumber Co., one of this community's oldest business firms, started the new year at a new location and under a new banner-the Pacifica Lumber Co. Owner Marvin Compton spent the recent holiday season moving the retail lumberyard and hardware business to the new site at 4275 Coast Highway. The yard had been known by the old name for many years and Compton took over the firm 10 years ago from Nelson Bedford.
The new location will almost double the yard's space and, more important, make available a building built to be a lumber and hardware business. the dealer declared. The yard closed during the holidays and reopened January 4 in the new, 5,000-sq. ft. modernistic building near Vallemar which will house lumber, hardware and building materials and has drive-in facilities from both sides of Coast Highway. Compton, who was in the contracting business before he took over the 'retail yard, is a native of Chugwater, Wyoming, and went to Pacifica from San Francisco.
