Blackman-Anderson Lumber Co.

Expands

Blackman-Anderson Lumber Co., moved their headquarters to a new site at 7W5 - 42nd Avenue, Oakland, last November. They are still using most of the old site at 422I East 14th Street, which they purchased from the estate of E. L. Blackman. The nerv location gives them needed additional room for storag'e, the main shed having a capacity of 75O,000 feet. This shed has a concrete floor. Most of the lumber is end-stacked, a feature that is appreciated by the majority of buyers. Practically all of the stock is under cover. There is room for five cars on the spur track alongside the shed, and large doors can be opened to facilitate movement of lumber from the cars.

Fir, Ponderosa Pine and Redwood are stocked, and both Redwood and Red Cedar shingles. This firm has specialized lor some time in "Ewauna" Ponderosa Pine. Pabco roofing and paints are handled.

Since 1912

The irames of Blackman and Anderson are well known in connection with the lumber business in the East Bay area, E. L. Blackman having founded his lumber and mill business in Oakland in L897. The principals in BlackmanAnderson Lumber Co. are Clarence Blackman, son of E. L. Blackman, and Fred Anderson. Mr. Anderson was associated with E. L. Blackman for 40 years, and Mr. Blackman worked in the business from the time he left high school until the business was liquidated following the passing of his father.

The new location has the advantage of having plenty of parking space and in addition being close to two main traveled arteries, 12th Street and 14th Street.

The office is finished in Iinotty Pine and Ponderosa Log Cabin siding.

Kissing

Charles Law Watkins wrote: "If the maiden be fair, our soul's in the game; if her kisses are death, we'll drink just the same."

Government

When it shall be said of any country in the world, "My trrcor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happinsss"-r,7vfisn these things can be said, then may that country boast of its constitution and its government.-Thomas Paine.

Credit Inquiry

"I'm calling to ask about the credit habits of John Jones. You know him well, do you not?"

"fn a way, yes."

Criticism

It is Criticism, as Arnold points out, that creates the intellectual atmosphere of the age. It is Criticism that makes the mind a fine instrumetrt. It is Criticism again, that, by concentration, makes culture possible. It takes the cumbersome mass of creative work, and distils it into a finer essence.

The thread that is to guide us across the wearisome labyrinth is in the hands of Criticism. Nay more, where there is no record, and history is either lost or was never written, Criticism can re-create the past for us from the very smallest fragments of language or art, just as surely as the man of science can, from some tiny bone, or the mere impress of a foot upon a rock, re-create for us the winged dragon or the Titan lizard that once made the earth shake beneath his tread, can call Behemoth out of his cave, and make Leviathan swim once more across the startled sea. Prehistoric history belongs to the philological and archaeological critic. It is to him that the origin of things are revealed.

It is Criticism that, recognizing no position as final, and refusing to bind itself by the shallow shibboleths of any sect or school, creates that serene philosophic temper which loves truth for its own sake, and loves it not the less because he knows it to be unobtainabls.-Qssa1 Wilde.

Dreams

Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet; But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.

B. Yeats.
