Adds Steamer To Lumber Fleet

Larvrence-Philips Lumber Co., Los Angeles, has purchased the Steamer Covena from the Hammond Lumber Company, who has been operating it in the coastwise and gulf trade.

The Covina is a single end steel vessel of. 2372 gross tons. It rvas built in Ecorse, Michigan, in 1919. It carries approxihately 2,000,000 feet of lumber, and it is the intention of the new owners to operate it between Grays Harbor and Los Angeles Harbor.

This will give Lawrence-Philips Lumber Co. three vessels operating in the coastwise lumber trade. The Lawrence-Philips will continue to operate between Coos Bay and Los Angeles Harbor, and the Point Loma will operate between Columbia River and Los Angeles Flarbor, taking general merchandise northbound to Portland.

This should give them a potential tonnage of about 10.000.000 feet per month of lumber into Los Angeles Harbor.

Moves To New Location

Richard Goehring, who has been operating a lumber yard at Alameda and Anaheim streets, Wilmington, has moved the business to the southwest corner of G and Lagoon streets. Mr. Goehring has been connected with the lumber business for the past twenty-five years, coming from Nehraska to California some years ago.

Takashi Fukami

Once upon a time there were two retail lumbermen in a near by Southern California city, good friends and all that, but not above giving an extra dollar off to their competitor's customers when they got a chance to figure a bill for them; best of all however they enjoyed playing jokes on each other.

Not so long ago one of them got hold of some discarded blank checks of "Takashi Fukami." lle carefully filled out the name of the payee, the amount and signature in hieroglyphics-anything that came into his head-just a lot of meaningless curves and hooks, and the next time he was in Los Angcles he mailed it to his competitor who studied and studied over it. Finally he secured a Japanese dictionary and tried to match up the characters but "no could do." Thinking it might be Yiddish he took it into his good friend Isaac Rosenabaum, the genial clothier, late of the Bronx, lvho pored over it and finally said it rvasn't Yiddish, but it might be Greek. Nick Papadopoulas, the Greek fruit merchant, was next appealed to, but after turning it over and studying it, he suggested that our retailer friend take it to the bank. which he did.

Said the bank cashier, "M/ friend, somebody is pulling your leg, Takashi Fukami rvent back to Japan over five years ago."
