Tobin Announces Reorgonizotion

Bill Tobinl of Tobin Forest Products, wholesale lumber distributing firm of Long Beach, California, announced last month he had completed the reorganization of his company and now represents l\fcNamara and Peepe Lumber Company of Crescent City, California, and the South Coast Lumber Company of Brookings, Oregon, exclusively in the Southern California territory.

Walter L. Ehrlich, president Western Hardwood Lumber Company of Los Angeles, reports that work has commenced in modernizing their plant, located at 2014 East 15 street, in the center of the Los Angeles industrial area.

Many of the lumber storage sheds, which were constructed years ago and now obsolete, are being torn down to make u'ay for new and up-to-date warehouses, in order to improve methods of handling lumber, and enlarge storage space at the ten-acre Plant.

"The mills we represent have a capacity of over six million feet of precision-manufactured Yellow Fir each month and we have an unlimited supply arriving in Long Beach via cargo and also truck and trailer," said Mr. Tobin. "Our lumber is of fine texture and old growth, assuring the retail dealer and industrial user quality material."

Mr. Tobin has been engaged in the wholesale distribution of forest products in Long Beach for the past twenty years and maintains offices at 145 Claremont Avenue in the beach city; telephone number Long Beach 906-358.

Teddy Roosevelt said, "Forestry is the preservation of forests by wise use."

Rerired School Aut{rorify Becomes Top-Nolch Screen Sqlesmqn

This is quite a success story. It concerns John W. Tucker, of Los Angeles. Two years ago he was the retired superintendent of maintenance and inspection for'the Los Angeles city school system. He knew a lot about buildings, but little about selling.

He was an old, close friend of John D. Scouller, president of So-Cal Building Materials Company, of Los Angeles. Mr. Scouller had an idea, and suggested to Mr. Tucker that he join his wholesale building materials concern, selling "Tension-tite" screens. Mr. Tucker accepted, went to work as suggested, and is today one of the most successful screen salesmen in the.entire West.

The 65-year-old age limit that retired him from the L.A. school system has not affected his activity as a salesman, nor his succ.ess. He specializes in the screen department for his employer, r,r'ho is definitely proud of his accomplishments.
