Max Cook The Merchant

Dear Max,

Am wondering if the good old Merchant might have in the "archives" a profile of my deceased Aunt, Miss Dlla Moore, who for many years was the good righthand to Sewall Morton, Hill & Morton, (as you know) and later was with us at Pacific Fores! Products.

I recall the story of her, with pictures, coming out in the Merchant before WW2. We kept a copy of it somewhere in the family, but it seems to have been lost, and one of my daughters is writing a story so would like very much to have the very fine story you folks wrote about her so long ago. She died in 1956.

Incidentally, the article might have mentioned our family history which included quite a lot of logging and sawmilling in the Russian River area around Duncan Mills, Monte Rio, and Guerneville. This, of course, ls how my brothers and I got into lumber; thru my aunt and uncle who came to Oakland with the old Sunset Lumber Co Boy, am I going back a long ways! Appreciate anything you can do.

Best regards, Ed LaFranchi

We're plowing thru the ba.ck issues (groan) trying to find it. Can a,nybod,y out there help? (Help! )-Ed,itor.

The Merchant Gentlemen, I have sold my lumber yard to the Canby Builders Supply Co. and retired from all business, so you may discontinue sending your excellent magazine. If the new owners of the lumber yard are not subscribers it is more than probable that they would be interested in receiving the magazine.

Very truly yours,

IY. E. Ilerman

The Meichant Dear Max,

Merv and I wish to express our sincere appreciation for the article you did on us in the July issue.

Stan Heriot stated that the article you did on us in the July state and our customers commented about it on every call he has made since it was published. This was really a boost to us.

Merv and I will strive to live up to the "King & Queen" image you have created, and again thank you for a supreme efrort.
