/Oakland's Otdest Yard

By T. P. Hogan, Jr.

One of the most progressive and up-to-date lumber, sash and door and millwork concerns in Northern California is that of the T. P. Hogan Companv of Oakland.

The recent announcement that the T. P. Hogan Company had absorbed the well-known rvholesale and retail business of the Waterfront Sash & Door Company, and that the business will hereafter be conducted under the name of the T. P. Hogan Company without change of management or personnel, served as a reminder to old-timers that this is the oldest yard in Oakland, as a lumber business has been continuously conducted at this site for 4O years.

He was born in Oakland, and is the father of three fine boys of 13, 10 and Lq years.

The T. -P. Hogan Company occupies a ground area qf 10 acres in a splendid central location, very close to the Oakland downtown business district, at Second and Alice streets, and has a dock with 500 feet water frontage on the Oakland Estuary.
