New General Manager at Ponderosa Pine

In July Robert M. Bodkin lea'r'es Ponderosa Pine Woodrvork to bccome manager of Dyke Bros. and Cole Manufacturing Company's Western purchasing office in Portland, Oregon. He will be succeeded by E. W. Ruddick. Mr. Bodkin. u'ho rvas elected general manager of Ponderosa Pine Woodu,ork immediately a{ter the fornation of the Association in 1941, leaves behind him an outstanding record which has seen the Association grow until it nou' includes a large membership of Ponderosa Pine producels and millrvork manufacturerers. Like his predecessor, Mr. Ruddick has been connected with lumber and lumber products for a good many years. He brings to his ner.v position an excellent background of executive ability.

Nfr. Ituddick began his business career in 1935 with the Wright Lumber Company of New York City, one of the oldest lumber concerns in New York. He worked there as a lumber handler, tallyman and mill hand, eventually be'corning a salesman calling on indrrstrial and commercial trade.

Mr. Ruddick became secretary and a director of this concern before leaving to take a position in Washington, D.C. as an industrial analyst on the staff of the Aircraft Production Board. In August 1945, he left the War Production Board and moved to Chicago to' take a position as regional sales promotional manager with TWA-Transrvorld Airlines.

Mr. Ruddick inherits from Mr. Bodkin a sound foundation which rvill make it possible for the Ponderosa Pine Woodu'ork Association to serve the industry more significantly thah ever in the coming years.

Kind Words From Iim Fcrley

"f have come to have a little more respect and appreciation for people that accomplish things in the face of adversity or other discouraging conditions. And so it is that I back up and take a look at THE CALII'ORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT rounding out a period of 25 years, the biggest part of which has really been a period of adversity; because the lumber industry stubbed its toe about 1930, which was something like eight or nine years after you started to function (just about 7 years as a matter of fact) and has just caught its breath insofar as its relations to the regular trade is concerned, in the last year or two. And so I'd say THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT has been punching its way through for at least fifteen years out of the twenty-five. The fact that it has succeeded in keeping intact and growing during such a period of time is proof that it has something back of it more than a printing press and an editorial staff.

"I salute you and the whole sta.ff of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT, most of whom I number among my personal friends. I wish you the best of everything and congratulate you on the success you've made of the last quarter of a century. Best personal regards."

(Signed) Jim Farley, The Pacific Lumber Co.. San Francisco.
