Lumber Veterqn Arr Twohy Decides to Go Fishing

. After 56 years in the lumber industry-SO of them spent in Los Angeles selling lumbe! to the yards-Art Twohy has decided to take it easy. The popular and highly respected lumber wholesaler and lumber yard bro-kei announced his retirement in March.

As a young boy, Art first went to work for the Illinois Central Railroad in the Midwest but, after a vear. he decided to go_West. Arriving in San Francisco in ihe days before the "Fire" he first went to work at the western lumber purchasing office of Carr, Adams & Collier of Dubuque, Iowa (then Carr, Ryder & Adams). A year later he went to Scotia and started with the Pacifii Lumber Company-working in the mill, 60 hours a week, at 20 cents an hour. After a year he was promoted to the office, finally became assistant superintendent of manufacture and shipping.

In 1910 Art was transferred to the sales department at Los Angeles, and in 1914 he started in for himself and has consistently stayed in the Los Angeles wholesale lumber business all these years. Also, one of his sidelines for which he has been well known has been that of selling lumberyards and sawmills in both California and Oregon-, as a licensed broker.

I!Ir. Twohy also founded the Horseless Carriage Club and was its first president. (Back in 1911 he had a fourcylinder car called the Everitt and was the first lumber salesman in Los Angeles to drive a company car.) He owns a dozen antique cars, among them a IX)2 one-cylinder Pierce Arrow, 1905 Buick and 1906 White Steamer.

We join Art Twohy's many, many friends in wishing him long and pleasant years in his retirement.
