E. H. Libbey

Promoted Secretary

N. R. L. D. A.

Edward H. Libbey, former assistant-secretary of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association was promoted to secretary at a recent meeting of the board of directors in Washington, D. C.

Mr. Libbey has been connected with the industry for the past 8 years and has rendered valuable service to the retail lumber and building material dealer as the Association contact-man with the government bureaus and agencies.

During the war his service to the Nation's retail lumber dealers, included maintaining constant vigilance in interpreting the kaleidoscopic changes occurring in hundreds of war orders issued by WPB, OPA and scores of other control agencies. In the immediate postwar period, his knowledge of the intricate situations within deteriorating war agencies and the Phoenix-like rebirth of new peace time agencies, enables the National to stand guard over the fluctuating fortunes of the retail lumber industry during the reconversion to a peace time economy.

More recently he has served as coordinator of the Association's outstanding educational program, popularly known as the 30-Day Short Course, now being conducted in fourteen major universities.

His appointment to the position of secretary-manager follows the changing of the title of H. R. Northup from secretary to executive vice president.
