"\nrHo's wHo" E. Ir. Green

The California Redwood industry is fortunate in having executives of exceptional .keenness rvhose ability is based on practical experience. A good example of a man with these qualities, plus a lot of enthusiasm, is Edward Lowe Green, vice-president in charge of sales for the Union Lumber Company, San Francisco, manufacturers of the famous Noyo Brand Redwood.

Born in the lumber atmosphere of Aberdeen, \,Vashington, with a family background of lumber manufacturing in Washington and Michigan, it was most natural that he should choose this business as a career.

His grandfather, A. D. Wood, in association rvith the well-known Blodgett family, operated a mill at Muskegon, Michigan, before coming to the Pacific Coast. Mr. Wood arrived at Aberdeen during 1885 and built the second sarvmill to be constructed at Grays Harbor.

Mr. Green went to school in Aberdeen and completed his schooling in Los Angeles. Soon thereafter he started in the lumber business and worked in various departments, including the woods. Since 1920 he has been with the Union Lumber Company where his well rounded experience has been gained in the woods, in the mill and in sales. Before coming to San Francisco he was in turn assistant manager of the Company's Mendocino operations and superintendent of the big Fort Bragg plant, thus securing a thorough acquaintance with the operating end of the business.

Upon the death of Harold Plummer in 1935 he was called to the San Francisco Office and took up the task of directing the lJnion's far flung sales org-anization. In this position his complete knowledge of Redwood, his keen judgment, his enthusiasm and his ready wit have made his administration outstandingly successful and have brought him the hearty cooperation and friendship of his entire organization. Ed Green, as he is afiectionately called by his many friends, is one of the best known and best liked of the younger executives.

In 1931 he married the gracious and charming Eleanor Broemmel of San Francisco. They have one daughter, Patsy, who, even at the tender age of three, seems to have inherited a great deal of her father's pep and energy.

At school he played a splendid game of football and today is an ardent, dyed-in-the-wool fan. He is a strong California booster-many times to his financial disadvantage. When the football season is closed he plays golf for recreation.
