Matheny Car Unloading Service ls New Name For Crane & Co.

Matheny Car Unloading Service is the new name for Crane & Co., at 5143 Alhambra Avenue, Los Angeles. Charles H. Matheny, owner, has renamed his unloading business that has served the lumber industry for the past 20 years.

Jim Matheny will be backing up the telephone lines with his father, "Chuck," rvho started the unloading business in his home in 1943.

States "Chuck," "\Me had seven partners then and soon moved from my home into the local union building where Harry Sweet, then head business representative, suggested that we call ourselves Inland Stevedore Company."

Each partner had to train new men during those tvar years, and unloading lumber cars in less than a day's time was something new for the trade. The lumber dealers soon caught on to this new labor contracting service, and the business boomed. Today the firm is still called "The Stevedores" by some of the trade who have been longtime users of the labor services.

Matheny reports, "There is a continued trend toward "Payroll Contracting," and it is even greater now since the need for temporary help can be supplied in so many different fields and industries by specialized agencies like ourselves. Our own lumber industry can be proud, however, since they caught onto this trend some 20 years ago, when they started calling us."

Telephone number of Matheny Car Unloading Service is cApitol 2-8743.
