The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT

Dear Jack:

We recently held a meeting of the sales personnel of the eastern offices of the various members of the CRA in Chicago. There were also some of the people from the mills at the meeting. Some time before, Jim Farley of The Pacific Lumber Company had unearthed your editorial entitled: Cypress and Redwood-Two Lessons for Lumbermen, from the June 15, 1927, issue of The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT. I might add that Alvin Huss also attended the meeting. Without introduction, f read the entire editorial to the group, and only after the reading was completed did I give them the date on which it was published. In many ways, it is as good today as when it was written, and I know you would have enjoyed the look on their faces when I sprang the catchline. If your files do not contain the issue in question, let me know and I will send you my cherished copy.

Best wishes,

Philip T. Farnsworth, General Manager
