Angels Lumber Compony Opens New El tlonte Ysrd ond Store After Tempororily "Doing Business" in Circus Tent After Fire

Angels Lumber Company, the El Monte, Calif., retail yard which rose from a very modest beginning 10 years ago to become one of the largest operations of its type, reached another milestone, August 19, when it reopened in modern new facilities at 12260 East Garvey Avenue after having been razed in a disastrous fire last February. The new showroom building of cantilever-type construction which replaces the old one provides 8,000 feet of floor space in which 25 persons will be employed.

Sidney Kline, owner of the retail lumber business, refused to be daunted by the fire and immediately ordered a huge circus tent put up last winter. lle was temporarily "back in business" within 30 days.

When interviewed this August, Dealer Kline tqld The El Monte Herald, "I'm glad that we can finally move into our permanent quarters so that we can handle an even greater variety of merchandise while still maintaining our policy of 'No Seconds or Irregulars.' All merchandise will be firstquality only. aim is not only to make friend out of each new

"Another policy," Kline continued, "which will be maintained will be the policy of cheerfully refunding the purchase price of any article with which the customer is dissatisfied.

Plans were made to present a gala entertainment program for the reopening, starting at 9:00 a.m., with prizes galore. Two "treasure chests" were to be one of the highlights, with every customer and visitor receiving a key; the holder of the "right Key" which would open the chest received the grand prize.

Owner Sidney Kline assisted the Angels Lumber & Hardware "Buccaneer Girl," Judy Dunn, in cutting the ribbon for the grand opening of the rebuilt yard and store. They were assisted by George Agamalian, San Gabriel Valley district manager of Glidden Paint Co. Phil Leibowitz is store manager of the El Monte yard for Angels Lumber Company.
