CUSTER'S LAST STAND

On June 26, '1.876, Custer made his last stand and he, along with all of his troops, was wiped out. That event was just another milestone toward building the west. California was booming, transportation on the transcontinental railroad brought early day settlers west and lumber production was getting underway in full force, along with the mining of gold. The pioneers of yesterday made possible the growth we are all enjoying today inetlualities, interpretations or valuations cannot be straightened out in the local office. This would, of course, apply to field inspection as well as appraised valuation.

\We are pioneer distributors and furnish quality foreign and domestic hardwoods in all species to dealers throughout Southern California . . Give us a call .
