Silver Anniversal

PLURIBUS UNUM" -now wail a minute, don't go awaY-this is a phrase stamped on any silver coin^ in your pocket, and its stands for "One Out of Many."

Appropriately, on its 25th Anniversary, the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California fits just such a definition.

LMA's new Silver Anniversary look unveiled at Monterey should not go unnoticed -especially in light of the personal interests that have wracked and disunified so many trade associations in recent years.

Sirt,v percent , yes, 60/6, was the increase in registration over last year. Nearly 300 Iumbermen, manufacturcrs rcpresentatives and wholesalers from northern California and neighboring states atttended the Silver Anniversary of LMA, APril 4-6, at the Mark Thomas Inn at l\{ontereY.

Too bad it couldn't have been held in the Silver State of Nevada? Don't despair, that comes next year, May 1-3, when LMA will stage its 26th annual at Harvey's Vagon Wheel. Southshore Nevada, Lake Tahoe'
