Olde Timer Looks Back Forty Years

The above picture of the Los Angeles Millmen's banquet at Levy's Cafe, Los Angeles, March 5, 1908, will be of interest to quite a number of local lumbermen. My thanks are due Walter Koll, of the A. J. Koll Planing Mill Co., Los Angeles, for the gift of this photograph which belonged to his father, the late A. J. Koll.

I have checked over those in the picture and have identified 19 out of the 26 in this group. If you can identify any of the others write to The California Lumber l\[erchant, 508 Central Building, Los Angeles 14, Calif.
