Mr. Stevens was born in Michigan in 1873, starting his career as a lumberman at the age of 16, driving logs in th-e Muskegon River. He has held important executive positions in the lumber business ever since he was a very young man.

During the World WarMr. Stevens was vice-chairman of the S6uthern Pine Emergency Bureau, and also assiste4 in closing up various lumber and log matters of the,9: S: Emergen-cy Fleet Corporation, spending- more than half of his time throughout ihe war at Washington and always subject to call.

After the war he became associated with Baker Fentress & Co. of Chicago, and later with C. D. Johnson and the Pacific Spruce Corporation, in which company he is still a stockholder and director.

Mr. Stevens' splendid record is a proof of his great ability as an organizer and executive, and he will undoubtedly make a great success in his new field.

A visitor to Mr. Stevens' private office could not fail to notice his beautiful solid mahogany office furnituqe, of rvhich he is very proud, and justly so, as it was presented to him by his fellow employees in the Pacific Spruce Corporation as a token of their friendship.
