Winfree & Tynon Formation Ends Winfree rR.etiremenl'

Henry Winfree ended a short-lived, 15-day "retirement"

October 1 when he announced the formation of Winfree & Tynan, a wholesale lumber operation which will represent Dant & Russell. Inc. and the Coast Pacific Lurnber Com- pany at Eureka, throughout Northern California. The partnership, which includes former Dant & Russell salesman Pat Tynan, will also do business with several other better known Northern California independent mills to further round out its operation.

Winfree, who announced his "retirement" September 15 following the closing of Dant & Russell's lumber division offices in San Francisco (CLM, g/LS), has spent over 30 years in lumber.

His partner, young Pat Tynan, spent over five years with the Dant & Russell organization. A native of Oregon and a Navy veteran of WWII, Tynan graduated from Oregon State College in 1950 and began a career of lumber with the Mt. June Lumber Company in Springfield, Oregon, shortly after graduation. After a year at Springfield he joined Dant & Russell at Portland, was transferred to its San Francisco sales offices on January l. 1954, and has since been representing Dant & Russell in the San Joaquin Valley.

To facilitate working with Dant & Russell, Winfree & Tynan will continue to occupy the old D&R lumber division offices at 214 Front Street, San Francisco. However, the phone numbers for the new partnership have been changed to YUkon 6-5392 and 93.
