Clarence Salisbury (right) is retiring f rom the Blue Diamond force after 38 years of service. "Solly," as he is known by legions of friends, might well be considered

'lMr. Gypsum of Southern California." His career has paralleled the progress of gypsum through the years and today there are few men of the construction industry in this area who have not felt the warmth of his personality and benefitted from his counsel.

He has seen wood lath and lime plaster give way to gypsum lath and plasterbrick and wood siding to stucco. He has witnessed and played an active part in the transitions brought about by the advents of lightweights, gypsum wallboarcl, acoustics, machine application and a host of other modern advancements.

Clarence Salisbury's accuaintance with men of the building material and construction industries covers a span of more than 50 years -more than a half-centurv of experience in the fastestgrowing construction area in the nation, and probably tl-re world. A review of his career reveals an enlightening chronology of those industries in Southern California.

It all began in 1905 when a yollng Mr. Salisbury took a job with the lIoffman Hardware Co. He remained in the hardware field until 1927, at which time, after a short stint with the Beaverboard Company, he entered the employ of the Geo. I Eastman Co., buildirlg material firm.

The Eastman Company was purchased by Blue Diamond in 1926 and Clarence Salisbury has been a Blue Diamond man ever since, serving progressively as manager of the Hollywood yard (the former Eastman Co.) then moving to Blue Diamond's main office as assistant sales manager, then division wholesale sales manag.er, and finally general sales manager.

Deep faith in his company. and dedicated service to the industry at large, have led Solly into countless activities f.ar beyond the usual concept of sales supervision. His helpful counsel has smoothed the way for many in troubled times. T{is presence has added warmth and stature to thousands of association meet-

Clarence Salisbury has reached the time for official retirement, but those who know him well-and they are legion-know that for him the days of real "retiremel1t" are far away. Com- pelling interests in things ancl people keep him alert ancl alive in mind and body. He retains the youthful and zesty spirit that demands outlet. Solly will always find reasolls and ways to work with and for people. Many will be thankful that this is so.
