75 Years for C. Gqnqhl Yord

Twenty-five years ago, in the issue of September 15,7934, there appeared an item in The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT about the Golden Anniversary observance of tl-re C. Ganahl Lumber Co. of Los Angeles, Inglewood and Redondo Beach. That makes this year of 1959 the Diamond Anniversary of the fine old pioneer yard, still located in downtown Los Angeles. The article of 1934 reads in part:

"Commemorating the occasion, the C. Ganahl Lumber Co. has sent out an announcement, 'Half a Century in Business,' which reads as follows:

"'When this business was founded in the vear 1884. even the most ardent believer in the future of Southern California could scarcely have visioned the phenomenal development of Los Angeles and of its surrounding terntory.

"'We are proud to have contributed, in a substantial measure, to this growth through the distribution of building materials known always for their superior quality, and a service that has, at all times, adequately met the needs of a constantly growing patronage.

"'On this, our Golden Anniversary, therefore, we deem it appropriate to pledge a continuance of those policies and practices for which we have been favorably known over so many years, and to assure our valued customers and a host of friends that our name will always be associated with merchandise of outstanding value'."

(Editor's note : And it-and Connie Ganahl-still are. ) guests. According to President Garratt, tl-ris meeting holds special interest because of the extraordinary pressures on forest lands created by an exploding population in the west.

John Callaghan, assistant secretary-manag'er of the California Forest Protective Association, is general chairman on the meeting. R. Keith Arnold, director of the Pacific Southwest Forest Experiment Station at Berkeley, Calif., is program chairman. B. H. Payne of the U.S. Forest Service, San Francisco, is chairman of the Arrangements Commlttee.

The Society, founded in 1900, has 12,000 members. Its aims are to advance the profession of forestry and promote the r,r'ise use of forest-lands resources.
