Planning for bigger business
fIr/E ARE glad to announce a program of improvements and better. \A/ Fgltts, in_volving- an expenditure of some S00,000.00, which we " believe will result in an increase in production and shioments that^will prove more ncarly equal to the ste;dily growing demind for our Keowooo prooucts,
We_ have purchased two new electrically operated logging engines which will increase our producti.on and, assure a greater supply of Redwood toSs lor Dotn our saw mrlls, his own behalf his dne greatest sales force-PUBLICITY.

Anrd the man who fails to realize their well bal,anced value, is short sighted, indeed. I pitty the young lawyeq although I respect him for do'ing his best under tJre circumstances he is called upon to me€t. f have NO respeot for the fellow who C.dN, and SHOULD, and DON'T.
