For Ingham Lumber Company

Earl Bliele, one of the best known lumber sales managers in Northwest lumber territory, is now sales manager for the Ingham Lumber Company, with mills and offices at Glendale, Oregon. This concern operates a sawmill of 150,000 capacity for an eight-hour shift, and is thoroughly modern in every particular. Their output which is mostly Fir, but also includes some Sugar Pine and Ponderosa, is splendidly manufactured. The Ingham Lumber Company is an old Kansas City outfit, that manufactured Southern Pine for many years.

Mr. Bliele started his lumber experience in the South, working for the Central Coal & Coke Company under Charles Keith, at their once big Pine mill at Carson, Louisiana. When the Keiths started construction of their big Fir mill at Vernonia, Oregon, Mr. Bliele was sent there as timber dock and shipping foreman, where he learned a lot about Fir and the Fir business. When the depression closed Vernonia he moved to Westfir, Oregon, and joined the Westfir Lumber Company, soon being made sales manager for that concern. He held that position for the past seven years, and recently accepted an offer from the Ingham Lumber Company at Glendale. Ward A. Ingham is president and general manager at Glendale.
