OFFICE, MILL, YARD AND DOCKS 2nd d Alice Sts., Ocrklcmd Glencourt 6861 which then had in its membership 35 mills in California and Southern Oregon. He was the Association's chief inspector for six years, and wrote and revised their first standard rules. During this period he acquired an extensive acquaintance with the lumber consuming trade as well as with the manufacturers, for he spent six months of each year in Chicago or New York, settling and adjusting claims and doing research lr,'ork. His service to the mills and consuming trade was rendered more valuable after he took a technical course in wood identification and in the art of properly air and kiln drying lumber under the supervision of Professor Arthur Koehler, noted- wood technician, at the United States Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin.
During those pioneering days of the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers Association, starting in 1916, "White Pine" Johnson became a familiar figure 'ivith the Pacific Coast mills and the trade on the Coast and in all the eastern territories. He played a big part at this time in the education of the old time "jerk-water" sawmill operator and "rough shod" lumber grader in helping them adjugt their old ways of rnanufacturing and merchandising to more modern scientific methods. Results along this line were accomplished only after considerable expenditure of time and patience.
For the past three years, "\Mhite Pine" Johnson has managed very successfully the affairs of the wholesale firm of Anglo California Lumber Company, Inc., of which FI. I'I. "N{ac" Luellwitz is president and owner. This concern's plant is located at 6420 Avalon Boulevard, Los Angeles, rvhere they carry large stocks of Sugar and Ponderosa Pine, Redu'ood and Douglas Fir panels.
