Paul Hallingby

Appointed Manager of Hammond's Southern Calilornia Division

Pcrul Hcllingby

Under date of October first, 1951, the follorving announcement was officially made out of San Francisco:

"Mr. E. B. Birmingham, President of Hammond Lumber Company announces the retirement of Mr. H. W. Mcleod as Manager of the Southern California Division of the Company, after almost 50 years of service. Mr. Mcl-eod, rvho has ably managed the Division for many years, r'rriil continue with the Company as Vice President, Director, and member of the Executive Committee, and will act as advisor to the local management. Mr. Paul l{allingby, long Assistant Manager, has been appointed to succeed NIr. McLeod as Manager of the Division. Mr. P. J. Stillwell has been appointed Assistant Manager."

There recently appeared in the columns of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT a recital of the business history of Harry Mcleod who is now retiring, which therefore needs no repetition here. He joined the Hammond ranks in 1903, so he has served 48 years at the time of retirement.

Mr. P. J. Stilllell, who becomes assistant manager of the Southern California Division of llammond Lumber Companv, has been'with the Company 25 years, the entire time in the credit department. An attorney who specializes in credit matters, he was with tl-re Thompson Yards, a retail lumber concern, in Minneapolis, before moving to Southern California. He went to work immediately in Hammond's credit department, and a few years later was made manager of that department, which position he has held up to now. He is a prominent worker rvith the credit agencies of Los Angeles and Southern California, and has served as president of Building Material Dealers Credit Association.

His promotion, according to Paul Hallingby, is a well deserved one, the result of long, faithful, and highly intelligent activities with the Company.

Lumbermen, and their name is legion, will rejoice at the promotion given Paul Hallingby. He started rvith Hammond in 1905, and has tl.rerefore worked for and with Harrv Mcleod for a total of 46 years, and no manager ever had a grander lieutenant. While it has fallen to his lot to be front man for the Division almost from the time he starte<l, and he has given wonderful service and leadership to thc retail lumber industry of the territory, yet he has always been by nature a modest and self-effacing gentleman. IJe is a natural born cooperator, and enjoys working with his fellow business men for the good of all concerned, u'ithout ever a show of personal egotism.

He is a swell guy, this Paul Hallingby, soft of voice, kindly in all things, and one who loves his fellow man. That is why he ranks in the very forefront of those men rvho are honored, respected, and loved by the followers of the lumber industry. If friends are wealth, then Paul is a multi-mi11ionaire. Nobody, who congratulates him on his promotion, need cross his fingers. And, topping his personal 'w'orth, he is a po'll,'erful business man and lumber'man, as is proved by his 46 years on a big job.

Ife has held lots of lumber industry jobs. Long ago he rvas president of the statervide retail lumber association, still later he u'as president of the Lumber & Allied Products Institute of Southern California, and he has been president of the Building Material Dealers Credit Association. In r,var time he was on the retail lumber OPA Committee, and a member of the Executive Committee of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. Whenever and u'hereerrer there was work to be done for the lumber industry, Iraul Hallingby has been on the job. The industry needs more of his kind.
