Hal Baley On Point Of Contact

"We consider that every man in our organization who meets the public in any way is an important point of contact and should keep that thought in mind and act accordingly in order that he may reflect credit on our concern and our business. We insist that every man in this organization from the truck drivers to the department heads remember that fact, and we find that it brings fine results. Only the other day a lady phoned in to me and said she wanted us to know that one of our truck drivers was the most courteous and polite man in his line of business she had seen in Los les, and she thousht we in Los Angeles, thought ought to know it. Nothing could have pleased me more. And we want all of our eryployes to work for the same sort of impression. We find it is good for our business."

This fine little business sermon was preached to a California Lumber Merchant man the other day by Mr. Hal Baley, General Manager of The Consolidated Lumber Company of Wilmington and Los Angeles. There is much food for thought in his remarks, and other firms might well follow that same example.

(Continued from Page 47) ; the Southwest. It is situated on the main line of the Santa Fe Railway, in the cehter of the Arizona-.New Mexico forest activities with but a short auto or rail trip to the large mills making up the sales group. It has -the additional advantage of a four day less freight haul and a two day o r better mail service than coast tter producing districts.

At Albuquerque are found the great plants of I the Breece Lumber Co., and the Whitmer-Talkson Co.. as well as the Western Sales offices of Louis Wuichet, inc., and headquarters of some twenty retail lumber establishme'nts of the SouthwestForest Service men in charge of most of the National Forests of the region are located here, the personnel ihcluding Frank C. W. Pooler, district forester; E. S. French, district law officer; Albert Morris, district fiscal agent; EtSh G. Calkins, Quincy Randles, John Kerr, M-. M. Cheney and John D. Jones, assistant district foresters; D, M. Lang, C. A. Long, James F. Mullen, Thomas F. Myers, A. L. Hughes, R. W. Hussey, F. E. Landon, engineers ; W. H. Long, Consulting Pathologist; and D. A. Shoemaker, C. K. Cooperrider, , R. F. Copple and W. G. Koogler, in charge of research and inspection. The closest and most friendly cohtracts will be sought and maintained between the officials of the Southwest Lumber Sales Corporation and those of the government

The Arizona-New Mexico White Pine Manufacturers Association offices are also to be found in Albuquerque, and, as the executive staff of the sales corporation and its affiliating mills are nurnbered among the association officials, the closest and most constructive cooperation will be had among all branches of the lumber industry in the district.

Lumbermen on trans-continental trains should stop off and spend a d,ay in Albuquerque. The idea should be attractive from a scenic, and a sporting as well as a lumber view point. Good hunting and fishing abound in this region which Zane Grey has made famous, and the scenery of the district is not to be surpassed.

Permanency, Stability and Dependability are the watchwords and objectives of the Southwest Lu,mber Sales Corporation, and every effcirt will be extended to maintain a "permanently, progressively profitable business, by a continuously satisfactory and valuable service to a constantly increasing circle of clients."
