Louise didn't just fall into her joh. but had a most interesting bepJinning to ht'r experience and business acum('n. During World War Il, she was r:hosen to take ovt'r thc head buying jol:r at the Quartt-'rma-'ter Denot in \'Iira I-oma. Calif.

St,' \\ras rcsponsilrlc for bu.ving the right amount and right quality paint. glue" papt'r and yrrotectivt' wrapping for all the rnatt'rials ,s('nt ovcrs('as from thi," partit'trlar depot. This meant knorving what u't'ights rvor.rld casilv float if thrown in the water. thc most a coolie could carry from tht' ship to thc dock" what lrrand of adhcsivt' rvould applr- casilv and withstand the t'fft'cts oI salt lvatcr and knol'ing tht' m,vriad of gov(.rnment t,ode nrtmlrtrs lrv heart to asstlr(' that tht' l)roper itcm rt'achcd thtr proper dt'stination.

LIpon lt'aving tht' gort'rnment post. slttr took a {ling at }rt'r own lrusiness. Horvevt'r, shc {elt thc desire to rt'tttrn to tht: line of work for whit'h she uas best qualified. She used thc cxpt'rit'nce she gained in the houscu'ares dt'partment of the Fedway Storc

th'',liversc

rreas slle works with ar(' recomm('nding concrete adhesile to contra('tors; whitc glut: for inmatt' projr'cls at thrtt' prisons in tlre arer: a wide range oI adhesives {or thc air<'raft industrv. and a nt'w pancling adhesivt' for homt' lruildt'rs and do-it-yourst'lfers.

S ith limt' and sPaet al l prcntittm. Lotrise has found it more btrtteficial to relv on one coml)any to fill her glue and adhcsivt, needs. She sa1's, "Becattse tht'ir linc is the most t'ompletc and extt'nsive. I t'hose to stock onlv the \\/ilhold linr'."

The o\!,n('rs of Ontario Lumlrcr and Hardware Oo., largcst in thtr Pomona ValIt'1'. are Robcrt Mohlcr and Georgt, David, Jr. No strangers to either the storc or its customers, they have both workcd there for 13 1ears. bu.ving the company last yt-'ar.

From all sales indications. Louise feels that with mor(' uses being devcloped for glues arrd adhesivt's. tht'se products should be heavily merchandi'.ed by all lumber and hardw'are dt'alcrs. Sht' ha-" s('t up sp('('ial gluc displays ltetween the hardrvare sectiott and the lumlrt'r vard.

If you llcrt' to ask her marl) customcrs if shr: knows hcr busines-., they llould all agree that Louise Morrison is one woman that ha,s tht' ansu t'rs that "stick."
