Employees Join to Re-Open a Modern BuildingMaterials Center at New Location

66RACK BY POPULAR DEMAND" tells u the story of an oldline southern California retailer that re-opened for business at a brand new store last month in Eagle Rock, Calif.

Eagle Rock Lumber Company, which operated at the same old stand for over half a century, closed up shop last year when their property became just too valuable to continue operation.

The original company, founded in 1912, was operated for most of that period by Emil Swanson and in later vears bv his son, North. When the Swansons eot a tempting offer last year from the devetpers of a shopping center, they sold out and went out of business.

Three employees of the store, however, refused to give up when the store closed. They began planning and organizing to re-open the business at a new locationjust across the street from the old yard. Their dreams were realized last month when the new partners hosted a grand opening ceremony at the modern new store. ooWe're sure glad you're backr" was the prevailing sentiment among the hundreds of customers who stopped by during the grand opening, according to Lew Shorrnanno president of the new Eagle Rock store.
