Olde Timer Looks Back Again

D. I. Nofziger, a brother of F. U. immediately below him in the first row.

Fifield of the Builders Supply Co. on North Broadway. None other than the dean of the lumber industry in these parts, Bob Cuzner.

Down in front:

Now I am going to let you decide. My own guess is that it is T. L. Ely, but Bob thinks it is Gene Lewis of Carpenter and Biles, later the Pacific Door and Sash Co. Frank Curran think it is Weir of Weir and Jordan, no\ r J. H. Baxter and Co.

"Missing and Nor Accounted For" are some of our old friends, George Lounsberry, Walter }Iarris, Henry Patten, Perry Whiting, Harry Mcleod. I bet they played hookey !

A long story could be told about all these, but I'll just tell you a couple. Not one of them owned an automobile, think that over. Nofziger's slogan was "We Skin Them All" and if that ain't a honey, I never heard one.

I'll be seeing you.

Today I am going to show you a photo of what the well dressed Los Angeles lumberman was wearing in 1906; will you look at those iron hats and what a swell white vest George Guy in the front row is wearing.

First I had better say that thanks are due to our old friend, Bob Cuzner of the Kerckhoff-Cuzner Mill and Lumber Co., for the loan of the picture and also to Eleanor Ennis, private secretary to Guy Cuzner, for her help in working out some of the identifications.

Who are they? Well, here goes:

Front row, left to right:

The Great lJnknown, nobody will confess to owning those baggy pants. Do you knorv who he is?

Another unknown at present writing. Bob thinks it is Jimmie Schultz of E. K. Wood Lumber Co., but Frank Curran thinks it is Wetmore, who was Jimmie's right hand man.

Joe Ganahl, whom all old timers will remember as the boss of the C. Ganahl Lumber Co. when their office was at lst and Vignes Streets.

Holder of the Holder Lumber Co. on Vermont Ave. about 37th street.

George Guy, Pico Heights Lumber Co., now the Woodhead Lumber Co.

F. U. (Frank) Nofziger, Nofziger Lumber Co.

Curtis Williams, Blinn Lumber Co. Just returned the other day, I hear, from a trip around the world.

Charley Clark, manager of the Stimson Mill Co.

Brown Higman himself, but he sure looks like Les Lynch, doesn't he?

Back row, left to right:

W. F. Montgomery, Montgomery and Mullin Lumber Co. I hope he soon publishes the book he has written on the lumber business in Los Angeles.

OLDE TIMER.

P. S. Well all right, just one more. Brown Higman (a brother of Jerome) bought two or three acres in what is now West Hollywood, for $7,500. Put up $2,000 worth of buildings for a little lumber yard, kept it two or three years and sold the ground and buildings for $75,000!

PROF. FRITZ INJURES LEG

After 30 years of often hazardous field trips in the forests of the country, particularly i.n the California Redwoods, Professor Emanuel Fritz of the lJniversity of California school of forestry finally suffered a severe disabling accident. But it was not his friendly forests which sent him to the hospital. Instead, he chose to slip in the terrace garden of his own Berkeley home while stepping from one path to another.

The result was a double fracture of the ankle, expected to keep his leg in a cast for two or three months. He will be about on crutches by the end of June, however.

Professor Fritz, who is consulting forester to the California Redwood Association, announced that plans for the third annual redwood logging conference would be carried out in July despite the accident and that he would participate in all sessions but the field trips.

HOO-HOO CLUB NO. 62 MEETS AT TURLOCK

Ifoo-Ifoo Club No. 62 met at the Divine Gardens, Turlock, Monday evening, June 27. The Cats from Turlock acted as hosts and they arranged an enjoyable evening for the members. John Ward, of Turlock,.was chairman. The Club will not meet during the summer months, and the next party will be held in the Fall.

Eubank lroning Boards Have Special Features

Eubank Ironing Boards, advertised in this issue have a number of special features. All are swivel boards, using the Eubank patented swivel bracket which gives them added strength. All are well manufactured of thoroughly seasoned Ponderosa Pine, built up of two or more pieces, making a board that will not warp or split. They have a metal and asbestos iron pad on the large end on which the iron can be slipped without picking it up.

The doors have Ponderosa Pine panels which do not check or show cracks in the paint.

The cast iron swivel is so constructed that the brace slides in the swivel bracket, eliminating the usual construction of the brace sliding in grooves in the wood, which soon scores the wood and does not work freely.

There are no projecting parts, wires, cotter keys or trunions on Eubank ironing boards to catch or tear the most delicate fabrics.

These boards are sold through dealers only, and are made by L. H. Eubank & Son, Inc., manufacturers of cabinets and millwork, whose factory is at 1010 East Hyde Park Boulevard, Inglewood, Calif.

Lee H. Eubank, identified for many years with the millwork industry in California, is president of the company. Donald St. Clair is vice-president, and George D. Eubank is secretary-treasurer.

Everett Mercer, formerly with Bohnhoff Lumber Company, is salesman for the company, and covers the Southern California territory.
