Hammond Redwood Company Announces Expansion
San Francisco, January 1S-Making the most important expansion in the California Redwood industry since 1933, Leonard C. Hammond, president of Hammond Redwood Company, announced that the plant built on the Eureka side of Humboldt Bay and formerly operated by Humboldt Redwood Company would resume operation March 1 as a unit of the Hammond interests
A new payroll of approximately $35,000 per month will be created with the addition of 300 men in the mill and increased logging operations. All of the workers will be drawn from Humboldt county, with l2O men already added to the payroll to prepare for rhe new activity.
The Humboldt Redwood Company plant, known commonly as the Bayside mill, is on the Eureka channel of Humboldt Bay, opposite the main Hammond plant at Samoa. It was operated formerly by the Dessert Company of Michigan, but has been idle since 1932, having been purchased by the Hammond company in the meantime.
With the announ,cement, Mr. Hammond declared that increased production is needed for the requirements of the 1937 outlook, particularly in eastern and southern states. The rated capacity of the new Hammond unit is 135,000 feet per 8 hour shift, added to the present production at Samoa of 425,00A feet per day. Despite the maritime strike all eastern and California business is being handled without interruption by rail shipments, but a great need exists for further production to supply the trade and build up stocks.
With the new development, the Hammond Redwood Company also purchased six new Caterpiller "95" Diesels for use in increased logging operations. This was declared to be the largest single tractor order since tractor logging began in the Redwoods in 192O.

March Forward, Banners Flying
The skies above are smiling now, Few adverse winds are crying, The New Year calls commandingly, "March F'ortvard, Banners Flying !"
Are there embattled heights to win ? Then obstacles defying, Storm every frowning citadelMarch Forward, Banners Flying!
If Fortune prove at times unkind, Keep right on trying, trying; She yields to firm, repeated thrustsMarch Forward, Banners Flying !
"I am too young to join the ranks," Says one, his worth decrying; The world has need of youth, my lad, March Forward, Banners Flying !
"I am too old," another pleads And sadly speaks of "dyingl" Why, you have just learned how to liveMarch Forward, Banners Flying !
To every noble vlctory, One with the other vying, Experienced age and eager youth March Forward, Banners Flying !
So face the Future fearlessly, All threats of ill defying, And "one for all and all for one," March Forward, Banners Flying ! A. Merriam Conner.
