Jack Ferger Sends Congratulations

About fourteen months ago it was rumored that Mr. Jack Dionne was intending to establish and publish on the Pacific Coast, a lumber trades journal similar in character to the one published by him in Houston, Texas, and at the time, the supposed-to-be wise heads said that it would be a failure for the reason that there were so many lumber journals now being published and now entering the offices of the lumber dealers throughout California and that it could not be made to pay.

In. the face ofl such rumors, Mr. Dionne, with the energy and push there is in him, rvent ahead and established the journal and it has been .said that within six months from the time this paperwas establishedi, that it was on a paying basis, which I understand is a record for any publication of any character.

Personally, I consider it one of the best sources of information that comes into our office and our employees are always anxious to look through this particular paper and to see what is happening among the California lumbermen.

At this time I wish to extend my congratulations to the Editor and Assistant Editor of the California Lumber Merchant upon their wonderful showing within twelve months.

J. C. FERGER,
