Tacoma Mills Form Sales i Agency \/

On June lst a group selling organization was formed under the name of the Tacoma Lumber Sales Agen'cy' This group is made up of the following mills: Defiance Lumber Co., St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Co., Clear Fir Lumber Co., Tacoma Harbor Lumber Co., Gange Lumber Co., Mountain Lumber Co., and the Eatonville Lumber Co.

A. C. Penberthy, with offices in the Petroleum Securities Building, Los Angeles, has been named as the Southern California representative and W. P. Woolley, as manager of the Tacoma office. It is likely that at some future date a San Francisco office will be established.

Sevefal of these mills formerly were represented in this market by Mr. Penberthy but recently the organization has been enlarged and comprises most of the production in the Tacoma tistrict, forming a well rounded ancf representative agency.

This is one of the first group agencies to be established in California and the Principals are to be congratulated upon adopting this practical method of distribution, through which, no doubt, many economies can be effected without losing their contact and identity with the trade as each mill will retain its own identity.

The opinion is frequently expressed that if more group agen,cies of this type were to be established in the different operating districts considerable might be accomplished toward stabilizing the lumber market.
