H. H. Wickershom Opens SoCol lmpoding Offices ol Bolboq

H. H. Wickersham, prominent for the past quartercentury in Southern California lumber circles, has established offices at Balboa Island to handle lumber sales and distribution of Philippine mahogany from the mills of the Fu Shing Manufacturing & Lumber Co., Ltd., Taiwan, Formosa.

This mill is unquestionably one of the most modern and efficient producers in the Orient. Lumber is manufactured from medium-textured logs procured from the northern area of the island of Mindanao, assuring consistency of color and texture. The Fu Shing 6peration 4t Taiwan compares favorably with modern production in the United States and all lumber is thoroughly air-dried on racks where each plank is turned by hand daily.

"We will receive a substantial percentage of the Fu Shing monthly production for sales and distribution throughout Southern California and eastern markets," said l\{r. Wickersham. "And we are in a position to handle advance orders for special requirernents iuch as long lengths and dimensions," he continued. The Wickersham Importing firm will maintain stocks of kiln-dried Philippine mahogany lumber on hand for immediate shipment from the Los Angeles harbor area to any point in the United States, it was said.
