Iohn R. Freemcn Visits Texas

John R. Freeman, smiling ambassador for the California Redwood Association, has been in Texas the past month, meeting rvith jobbers ancl dealers in both large cities and smaller c<-rmmunities, and laying the foundation for a promotion campaign in.this territory of redwood lumber produ,cts. He was the guest of The GULF COAST LUN{BERMAN and the Houston Retail Lumbcr Dealers Association at their monthly meeting at the Seven Seas the evening of May 77; and attended the annual meeting of tl.re Texas Lurnber Nfanufacturers Association at Lufkin, in the heart of the East Texas Southern Pine territory, Saturday, May 21. From there he and Mrs. Freeman continued on to Dallas; Wichita, Kansas; Kansas City, Mo'. and intermediate points. Before reaching Houston he made stops enroute from his home in San Francisco, at Corpus Christi, Laredo, Eagle Pass, San Antonio, and a number of other cities. He has made a world of friends in his first trip to and through the Lone Star State.

Sh"r*u,t Bishop, president of the California Redrvood Association, made a flying trip to llouston where he spent one day in conference with Mr. Freeman and then returrred to California.
