C. D. Johnson estimates that they have enough timber of their own at Toledo to keep their great plant in oPeration for about forty years, and there is plenty more to. be had in that immediate region. So the great Toledo institution is of future generations as well as the present, and the long life anticipaled well justifies the great investment in manufacturing equipment.

The general offices are in the Northrvestern Bank Building in Portland. Here will be found C. D. Joh-nson, Ernest Johnson, L. B. Morrison, the very active and efficient young sales manager; R. S. Trumbull, a director and general auditor, and a small army of office folk.
C. D. Johnson is vice-president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and this year is acting president. He has joined hand in glove with every progressive move that has been made in the Northwest lumber circles since his advent there, and is highly respected and esteemed in the councils of the industry. Just sixty years of age, he is one of the youngest men of his years you will ever find. The hardy work of his younger days gave him strong muscles and a sound body, and today he has the physical and mental virility of a man just reached his prime.
The Pacific Spruce Corporation manufactures the lumber. The C. D. Johnson Lumber Company, a separate corporation, markets it. And BOTH, as the old adage says, ARE C. D. JOHNSON.
