Henry Hink.denies emphatically that he was there when Dolbeer & Carson started their first sawmill up in the Redll'ood country. That r,vas in 1863, and l{enry refuses to admit that his early debut took place anyrvhere near that far back. The truth is that Henry has been with the company so long and so prominently that even the oldest of our lnmber folks car-rnot seem to recall when he was not singing the praises of tl-re "oldest Redwood concern."

The fact is that Henry M. Hink only joined up with Dolbeer & Carson the short space of forty years back. It was on June the tenth, i910, that a well remembered member of the San Francisco lumber fraternity, Mr. Wm. G. N{ugan, hired himself an office boy. Mr. Mugan was secretarl.-treasurer of Dolbeer & Carson, and ran the San Francisco office. Little did he think, we may be sure, that he s-as hiring his on'n successor, as well as the successor to the famous previous presidents of Dolbeer & Carson, when he took into his offrce a small boy who had a great smile ancl a lot of pep, to be the offrcial "runner" for the office.

But just because Henry did not start at the beginning of the operations of the old Redrvood manufacturing concern, is no reason rr'hy he did not get there in time to make a lot of history, and n'hv the forty years he has spent rvith the company does not stretch from quite primeval to extremely modern times and lumbering nrethods. For, believe it or not, rvhen Mr. Hink first stepped into the concern in 1910, they were shipping their entire product of Redwood lurnber from Humboldt Bay to California points by sailing vessels. Their mill then cut about 75,000 feet of lumber daily, and it all went by sailboat to just five customers, two in Southern and three in Northern California. who took their entire output. Selling Redwood for Dolbeer & Carson was a simple matter in those days.

But age did not signify old methods, and the concern became a very progressive one, and in 1923 built in place of their old mill the first all-electric sawmill the Pacific Coast had seen. Today much rebuilding and improving still goes on at that Eureka plant. Right now $250,000 is being spent on additional modern-type dry kilns, and the company is producing more lumber than at any time in its long history.

Now, let's have a brief look at the fersonal history of Henry Hink. He was born in San Francisco in 1893, so he is definitely a native son both of the city and of the state. He attended the public schools of San Francisco, (Continued on Page 14)

(Continued from Page 12) and then went to Heald's Business College in that city. He did odd jobs during his school days, and worked for some time on the San Francisco Examiner during his spare hours and Saturdays. That brings us up to June 10, 1910, when he struck Wm. G. Mugan for the job of office boy, as above related, and got it. The offices of the company were in the Merchants Exchange Building, where they still remain. Henry was then not quite 17 years old. In high school and night school he had studied such things as business law, business administration, and accounting, so he was considerably better fitted to seek promotion than is tl-re average office boy starting out.

In turn he became stenographer, bookkeeper, lumber salesman, and then sales manager. In 1936 Mr. Mugan died, and Mr. Hink became for the first time an official of the company, secretary and treasurer. Just a year later vice president Wm. M. Carson died, and Mr. Hink was made vice president, still continuing to handle the sales. In l94l the president of the concern, Mr. J. M. Carson, died, and Henry was elected president and general manager. That, in a nutshell, is one of the quickest climbs from office boy to president ever noted in a major business operation.

It was a natural succession in each case. Always Mr. \ Hink prepared himsetf for the next step up by mastering all details of the business as he went along. His amazing competency and versatility enabled him to handle, not only the business affairs of the company, but likewise to administer the very large estates of several members of the firm as they passed on. Ife became a man of all trades in a very important fashion.

In 1915 he married Miss Elizabeth Archbold, who still lives with and tolerates him, and has contributed abundantly to making him the powerful sort of man that he is today. They have a son, Robert Hink, who is in the advertising business; a daughter, Mrs. Bernice Macfie; and a grandson, Robert Hink, Jr. Their home is in Berkeley.

Henry Hink has found time to devote and ability to share in activities outside his big Dolbeer & Carson job. He has been a director of the Redwood Export Company, president of the Redwood Sales Company, and a director of the California Redwood Association, for many years. He belongs to the San Francisco Rotary Club, the San Francisco Commercial Club, the Los Angeles Jonathan Club, and is a past president of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 of Oakland.

Asked about his chief hobby outside of business, and he says it is golf. His {riends report that in his case golf is indeed a hobby, but by no means an art. Let us call it a relaxation.

Maybe a good key to the character of the hero of this sketch was the advice given him many times in his early days by his first employer and mentor, Mr. Wm. G. Mugan, who used to say: "Henry, don't promise any more than you can deliver, but when you give your word, keep it, no matter what the cost."

The lumber industry, wl-rich claims Henry as a mighty fine specimen of its top personnel, will tell you that he has always lived up to the advice that Mr. Mugan gave him. That could be the main reason for his remarkable success. His always present enthusiasm has been a great driving force in everything he does.

Add to his great business acumen, his deep enthusiasm, his unswerving honesty, and his engaging personality; add to these a swell guy who loves his fellow man, and you've got a pretty good picture of Henry Hink. Yes, a very good one.
