Mr. Forgie has been connected with the Bloedel-Donovan organization, d.irectly and indirectly, for the last 18 years. He is as weII acquainted with manufacturing and trade conditions in the Northwest as he is in California.

For the last six months Mr. Forgie has been associated with the Frank Graves Sash, Door & Mill Company of Los Angeles and immediately prior to that he was with J. H' Baiter & Co. for six or seven years, handling the BloedelDonovan distribution in California. In 1913 and 1914 Bloedel-Donovan maintained. an office in California and' Mr' Forgie was in charge. But even previous to that period', whe"n associated firsi with the Charles Nelson Company and then with the Robert Dollar Company, he looked after the Bloed.el-Donovan interests in the state.

Under the new arrangement Mr. Forgie will give his whole attention to the Bloedel-Donovan business, Iooking after northern as well as southern California. The eolpany onerates two boats owned by Fred Linderman-the crickett ."lift u cargo capacity of 1,300,000 feet, and the R'ose Lee llutto"uy, t--pOO,ObO t"6t.

In April there was an increase of 100 per cent in the value of permits; May shorued an increase of 400 per cent, and June only a little less than 400 per cent.
