After three years as a schoolboy part-timer, Howard went on a steady schedule in 1911. He subsequently became a partner wifh his uncle, A. J., and his brother, the late Frank B. Ware. The business was later moved to the present location at 4th and Main streets. In recent years' Howard's nephew, T. R. "Terry" Ware, has been btr _p3lqqr !t !h-" .r.id. *hi.h was wriiten up in The CALIFORNIA LUM- 'epR \ABRCHANT of August 15, 1954' Terry will retain his interest in the yard and be associated with Dealers Brenkman and Wall-in the new organization under the old firm name.

Howard S. Ware has helped to build Corona, California, from the days of "mud" streets, iron hitching postg and -the horse-drawn deliveries, and has been active in all its civic betterment plans, including a "stretch" on the city council. Upon his retirement as a lumber dealer to the townsfolk, he expressed sincere appreciation for the 50 years of friendships enloyed with both his customers and his suppliers. His confidence in their ability and integrity is a fine recommendation for the three younger men who will now carry _on the fine old Corona Lumb& Company tradition and add new ideas to its successful policies as they expand the retail lumber operation.

Mr. Wire and his wife Irene, known to the yard's trade over the familiar signature of "I. J. Ware," have announced no plans for the future other than to remain in Corona, whiih has been their home since 1906, and to take a wellearned rest before starting any new activities.

Roy Brenkman, one of the new owners, was born in Detroit, reared in Glendale and Los Angeles and graduated from L.A.C.C. He was employed by Douglas Aircraft and attained the rank of Lt.-Commander in his 6-vear Navv hitch. For the past nine years, Brenkman has iepresented U. S. Gypsum eo., mainly in Riverside county. He person- ally built homes in North Hollywood and San Diego for his wife Bernice and lO-year-old daughter Jill.

New Owners Well-versed in Building

Ross Wall, the other new man, also of Riverside, was born in Glendale. He is a Redlands University grad and did an S-year Navy hitch. Wall was also with USG, for the past five and one-half years, so the new retail lumbermen share common building experience as well as a lumberyard. Dealer Wall is married to the former Dorris Sheard of Covina, a member of the Cook family with exclusive ranch holdings in Fallbrook and Ventura.

The Brenkmans and Walls plan to sell their Riverside homes and settle in Corona, *h.re they expect to identify themselves with the civic and social as well-as the business life of the community. They join Terry Ware in announcing that the Welcome sign is il*ayr out for get-acquaintet visits from the fellow dealers and the suppliers'representatives.
