With.the knot tide it was only fitting that, 4 days later, the Marine Corps shipped Max overseas. Japan received him with open arms and returned him, one year later, with lots of souvenirs, a palpitating heart and a desire never more to roam.
Discharged in the summer of 1946; Max set about making a home for his wife. A hill was purchased in La Halrra Heights, Calif. and work began immediately on the construction of a fitting edifice for thi Krauses.
A problern for finances soon arose. With the bottom of the barrel clearly ih sight it dawned on the mansion builder that he'd better find a job-but quick.
Circumstances led him to Lou Weidner of E. J. Stanton. Lou liked the looks of the husky ex-Marine so, promising him lots of nothing but hard work, he put Max out bucking lumber in the yard.
He bucked until he was a fist full of splinters. Through backaches and mental aches Max bucked his way to glory. With Lou Weidner constantly pushing him it wasn't long until he rnoved into the "helper" class. Hardwood order' man and shipping clerk followed in order.
"But my real education," says Max, "came when they apprenticed me out to Bill La'rson in the pine department. llill is probably the world's greatest authority on pine and he taught me more in a week than I could have learned in 20 years reading books."
Six month with Bill and Stan Swafford, sales manager, grabbed him. "I guess," Max explains, "Stan's Navy background had something to do with it. I-ike all good sailors, Stan knows the Navy doesn't have a chance without the Marines."
Swafiord scofis at this explanation. "We like salesmen with ability. Max showed great possibilities in every job assign'ed hirrr and now he's proving to be a top salesman -the kind buyers are gtad to see coming."
As he progresses in the lumber indu-stry his cheering section has been augmented by a very young Miss Krause' The young lady, Robin, "A Princess of Wails," is, according to Max,""The only child I know that uses Philippine Mahogany for a teething ring-S4S, of course."
