=SF==o Rennont fscilities for resowiqg |o 34" x 34' we cdn't frnd it .we'll nokc ft here-they probably don't make it" might be a suggestion for a new company motto, One of the fellows who's had a lot to do with the company's expansion and remodeling plans is Bob Adams, a third-generation member of the Adams clan. Bob, an LMA director of long standing, is typical of the young blood that is fast rejuvenating the retail lumber industry everywhere.
Now general manager of the organization, he has worked in every phase of the Noah Adams operation, at all of its outlets, and received a "second-to-none" tutelage under his uncle, veteran retailer George Adams, president of the firm.
F ounder of the orga,nization still bearing his name was Noah Adams, who first came West in 1904 a^fter 20 years in Minnesota, where he operated both a retail yard and sawmill. After a short stint with Ham- mond Lumber Company, Mr. Adams opened his first yard in California at Ripon during 1909. In short succession, the dealer opened yards at Walnut Creek, Concord and Winters, later selling these yards in favor of conflning his operating' area to the Delta Region.
