Founded at the beginning of the century the Loop Lumber Company has been a big factor in the wholesale, jobbing and retail lumber business of San Francisco throughout that 33-year-period.

"This company carries the most ,complete stock of f umber in San Francisco, and specializes in heavy and long timbers. Special attention is given to jobbing business, and immediate delivery of any reasonable order can be made", said William Chatham, president of the company ricently.

"Deliveries of jobbing orders are made with the company's own equipment, or buyers may send their own trucks. Jobbing orders have been delivered by our trucks as far east as Nevada, down the San Joaquin Valley as far as Bakersfield, and down the Coast to Santa Barbira," Mr. Chatham said, and ,commented on the amount of lumber moved long distances by trucks nowadays, as compared with a few years ago.

As an example of the special orders this concern is called upon at times to furnish on short notice, they recently brought into San Fran,cisco a number of 78-foot iimbers to be used for a rush job in connection with San Francisco harbor. They have also furnished considerable material for the construction of both the Golden Gate and San Francisco Bay bridges.

The Loop Lumber -Company's yard is situated on Central Basin, at the foot of 16th Street, San FranciSco. The company owns its own docks and steamers, and has the most up-to-date equipment for handling lumber in the speediest and most economical manner, including Ross Carriers and electric hoists. They also have an efficient remanufacturing plant.

For many years Loop Lumber Company has maintained a Northern buying offi,ce in Portland as a part of its service.
