"My

Dear Mire Brey:

"I wal much intereeted and pleared witb your article in the JuIy lst issue of the California Lumber Merchant, and I fullv agree with dl the kind thingr you say about ttat wide-awake journal. lt has hehed t6 make a real fricndly family out of California lumbermen and Jack Dionne and hig able coadjutors are entitled to much praire.

"I erpecially appreciated yoru remarke about the advance which Hoo-Hoo has made and which Mr. Dionne he4 helped to promote bv hir friendly publicity. The Order ir on a higher plane than ever and ic going forrrard to rtill gleater achievements. You will be intcrerted in the two little pamphlets about Hoo-Hoo which I enclore, one about 'Treer'and the other about 'Hoo'Hoo; the Soul of Lumberdom' which includer our Code of Ethicr. California takee pride in the fact that it war at thc Frceno Annu'l in 1921 that the Code war adopted. Panon Simpkinr tellr me that no lerr en authority than Juliur Barneq Precident of the National Chamber of Commerce told him in hir Warhington office that it war tfie finert exprerdon of buriners and personal ideall he had ever !Gen.

laly 21,1924. Miss Albcrta Ruth Brey, Portervillc. Calif. clo Bfty-Wright Lumber Co.,

My Dear Miss Brey:

So you havc brokcn into literature too. .Wcll you certeinly have madc a good job of it. Your two articles in thc annivcrsary number of thc California Lumber Mcrchant, 'That Golden Opportunity," and "Jack Dionne-We Thank You," arc splendid.

I too am a grcat admirer of Jack Dioncre and the spl,endid wo'rk hc is doing among| thc lurnberrrcn of tho statc. In fact I had writtcn trrim prior to sccing this article of y<iurs, but of course lt was not so well written-othcrwise it ras another .casc of "great rninds,"

The article on the display room is written most charmingly and efrcctively-bcttcr I think than any man could v/rite dt,

In ordcr that I might havc an opportunity to read both articles carcfully, I took thc paper home with mc on Saturday and read them yesterday. In fact, I read both of them to Mrs" Williams and wlu'le she could not apprcoiatc thc one on Jack Diorule, so much, not lmowing him and not knowing much about the papcr, she did think the other was splendid and she said "that's exactly the way a woman fecls about thosc thingE "

I hope you will occupy th€ page of the California Lurnber Mcnchaht frequeotly-in fact, you migfht go furthcr.

I scnt you on Saturday, I belicvc it was, a copy of ihe address I delivered at the National Convention of thc Rctail Hardwarc Dealers held in San Francisco recently, I'would bc rrcry glad to have your criticisms of thc idcas exprcsscd therein

With best personal regards,

Yours very truly,

B. J. WTLLIAMS, Director of Sales, The Paraffine Companies,

P. S. Also give my best w'ishes to your father.
