George E,. Ream, president of George E. Ream Company, enthnsiastically states thdt he believes the HinesShelf Unit & Extension is one of the most practical and useful prefabricated products that has come out in the postwar period. Its many salient features are:

3. With combination of Regular Units and Extension Units you build shelves 3',6',9' or 12' long and 3', 6' or 9' high.

4. Uses are unlimited. Fit a whole wall or any specific area. Ideal for office, stores, stockrooms, rn'arehouses, laboratories, factories, or in the home.

5. Carton packed. Easy to stock, easy to handle, easy to deliver-easy to sell.

The Edward Hines Lumber Company, who are among the largest manufacturers of PJnderosa Pine, can see no change in the sl-rortage of shelf lumber for sometime.

The Hines prefabricated Shelf Units and Extensions will be availa6le to the trade within the next few weeks. Low retail prices and attractive dealer discounts will make this item a most profitable line. Further information is being prepared by the George E.

Santa Fe Lumber Co. Offices to be Moved to Fifu Buildins July 1.

Announcement of their move to new offices in the Fife Building, 1 Drumm Street, San Francisco, July 1, has been made by Santa Fe Lumber Company.

A. J. "Gus" Russell, manager of the Santa Fe Lumber Co., in speaking of the move, made necessary by the lease of the Santa Clara Building, 16 California Street, by the Waterfront Employers Association, said: ,

"In another month we would have been 40 years in the 16 California Street Building.

"We'rvere burned out of the Rialto Building in the San Francisco fire of April 18, 1906. Our first office after the fire rvas in a stable on Berry Street," Mr. Russell recalled humorously. "In fact my private office rn'as in Stall No. 3.

"In November 1906 we moved to the Alpha Building, a one-story u'ooden structure at Sacramento and Drurnm Streets, a site norv occupied by the Drumm St. Garage. It is interesting to recall that the partitions in that building vr,'ere made of doors, lumber being scarce and doors being plentiful at the moment. Earthquake action sank the building to rvhere onlv five feet appeared above the street. "Our telephone number in the stable of6ce was Temporary 2074, an exchange put in during the period immediately after the fire. This number was changed to Kearny 2074, and later to the present EXbrook 2074."
