Traveling one city block on Corona's Main Street ip 50 years ! ThJ businesi "journey" from__5th and Main to 4th and Main has been the happy lot of Howard S. Ware, who is now closing a 50-year caieer in the lumber and building materials business in Corona, Calif. From a beginning as part-time helper to retirement as_ senior partner of the firm, Howard Waie spent his entire business life helping other people find happiness in building things. Keeping up with iast-changing irends wasn't always easy but he has-enough zip lelt t6 lo=ok back on 50 years and call the lumberyard life one of "fun."

Mr. Ware last month announced the sale of his interests in the Corona Lumber Company to Roy Brenkman and Ross Wall, both of Riverside, Calif., and both of whom are now on the job greeting the retail yard's old and new customers.

The Corona Lumber Co., now one of the oldest firms in Corona and even in Southern California, was founded in 1904 by the late Andrew J. Ware on a quarter block at 5th and Miin streets. Soon thereafter his young nephew, Howard Ware, became a part-time helper stacking lumber and delivering with the hoise-and-wagon. With no fancy driver's cab to sh-elter him, young Howard picked a soft spot on the board with the fewest slivers and jogged along the ruts or through the dust of Corona's unpaved streets. He urged the faithlul nag, Molly, to her best pulling sp,eed because another new house was abuilding and needed the young yard's lumber.
