Norman-Light Lumber Company

By The Mysterious Cowboy

John C. Light of the Norman-Light Lumber Co. is onehalf owner and general manager while his partner, W. F. \g1man, has the other, and Mr. Light says, the better half of the business-because Mr. Norman doesn't have to put his shoulders to the local wheels, as his headquarters in business and home is in Nevada, Missouri.

Mr. Light and Mr. Norman have been "buddies" since' boyhood, working, to start with, for the same lumber establishment in Nevada, Mo.-this was the inception of their lumber undertakihg's, as Mr. Norman was bookkeeper and Mr. Light was yard foreman of that company.

The Norman-Light company opened their business in Miami on July l,19t6, and since then have become knorvn as the old reliable Norman-Light Lumber Company, and the Golden Rule line yard, as John started giving away hundreds of golden colored yard measures and they have lived up to this moniker in every way since.

This company has a yard and offices that occupy 25Ox269 feet, all being used to please the desires and necessities of those using lumber for every purpose that it may be needed.

Redwood from California, Douglas fir from Washington, hardwoods from the South and Arizona pine (white) from Flagstaff, Arizona.

All grades and dimensions are handled and can be filled on request. Figures are available when called for and even to the complete specifications on any style of construction from a chicken coop to a mansion.

They employ from six to fifteen people and have five trucks and four service cars.

The Light Lumber Company of Phoenix is owned and controlled by John C. Light and King C. Light, his son, but as is to be expected, they r,r'ork hand in hand, having the buying power of two big units. Mr. Norman has no interest, although, in the Phoenix branch. They started that unit in January of last year and have been "lumbering" along.in grand old style ever since.

"From the hills to the mills, then to you," is an appro- priate slogan.

The pen picture below of Mr. John C. Light depicts him sitting on a log, but in "fact" he sits on anything that's good for Arizona-such as the Masons, Elks, Rotarians, Knights of Pythias, Modern Woodmen of the World and among others, the great lumber organization, the HooHoos.
