He has seen small ones come and grow large; and large ones come and grow small; all of which gives him food for thought, and for philosophical discussion. wishes to add congratulations to Jack Dionne on the 95th Anniversary of The California Lumber Merchant

The next oldest lumbermen in Los Angeles in years of continuous service in the industry are George Lounsberry and E. C. Parker, both of whom started a few years later than he did.

J. A. Privett was born April 4th, 1880, at Fayetteville, which makes him just past 67 years of age. Measured by all true standards, he is a highly successful man; much more successful than most men of large personal wealth. He has lived happily nearly fifty years rvith the same wife, has raised a fine family of children, and is now helping raise a crop of grandchildren which he modestly considers the best of its kind in all history. He has lived well, laughed often, worked hard, given every man a square deal, and has for his reward the good will of all those who knorv him. That, friends, is true success.

As lvas said in this journal once before about this same gentleman: "He is a young man for his years, filled with optrmism, good cheer, friendliness, helpfulness, and human understanding that has made him one of the most popular irldividuals in the lumber industry in California. To know him is to like him, to trust him, and to admire him. And ,if you, too, have reached that tide in life where the shadows are slanting from the West, he is a great man to walk around a lumber yard with, and ramble backward through the years, to other days, and other men. There should be more Al Privetts in the industry."
