Congratulations to Monroe Hirschfeldt, head of Bay City Lumber Co., who celebrated his sixty (9th) birthday, Aug. 28. The longtime Oakland retailer claims, like Benny, that this is ABSOLUTELY the last birthday he's gonna recognize.

Following appeared in Gene Sherman's "Cityside" column in a recent L. A. Times: "Marge Crawford's faith in humanity is firm again following a nice thing that happened to her on the Santa Ana Freewav. FIer car blew a tire at night. She was alone and wondering what to do when a man pulled up and changed the tire for her. He turned out to be Marty Mora of Orange Coast Hardware & Lumber. Been traveling the opposite direction but had turned off the freeway and come back. Once, he told Marge, no one had stopped when he was in trouble and he decided instead of being bitter about it he'd try to be better."

The Beton Company's imported lumber and plywood manager, Dick Brown, is on a month's trip to accounts in Texas and surrounding states until early October. He joined Beton in June.

Les Breiner, general manager of The California Door Co., Los Angeles, returned from Hawaii late last month after he and his wife spent 15 days with their daughter and her family. Their son-in-law, Jet Pilot Capt. W. P. Hutchins, is stationed with the U. S. Marines on Konehoe Bay, Oahu.

Forsyth Hardwood Co. Manager P. R. "Bob" Kahn and his wife left San Francisco in mid-August for another trip, this time a two-month tour of western Europe including stops in Switzerland, Germany, France, England, and Amsterdam and the Brussels Fair.

Ethel Steel, who was on vacation when the Great Western Lumber Corp. photos farther forward in this issue were taken, is now back on the job. AND HOW ! The photo above shows how Miss Steel beat the heat on one o' them there sizzlin' September days.

We distribute the revolutionary new BERRY Float-Away stsel folding doorc --+vailable in 8' height for floor-toceiling closets and stonge. lnd each door panel is bacled to full height with fibrous sound-deadening material, too!

Gunter Silmar, in charge of Isbrandtsen's imported lumber and plywood department, has returned to his San Francisco office after a month on business in the Orient.

Alex Peters, general manager of Kochton Plywood, Chicag'o, was a recent visitor to the Los Angeles warehouse, calling on customers with members of the sales staff and Jack Hussey, district manager in southern California.

Ed LaFranchi, manager of Clay Brown & Company's Oakland office, vacationed at Lake Tahoe with his family for two August weeks.

Dee Essley, prominent southern California wholesale lumberman and past district executive for Rotary International, was guest speaker at the August 26 luncheon of the Artesia, Calif., club.
