William T. (Bill) Meyer, salesman f'or White Brothers, pioneer hardwood dealers of San Francisco, entered the employ of this firm in 1916 at the age of. 17.

He worked his way through every department in the yard and offise, including handling lumber, purchasing, sales, etc.

Bill has only worked for two concerns during his entire successful careerWhite Brothers and Uncle Sam. A good friend of his tells the story of his military career in these words :

"At the time of the Great War Bill immediately enlisted when he became 18 years old and Williqur T. Meyer served with great distinction in the United States Army for two days at the Presidio of San Francisco. His friends claim that this news was, of course, flashed to Berlin, and that the Kaiser, when he heard of it, made his historymaking remark, 'Ach, Meyer has joined up, we better quit,' and the record shows they did on November 11, 1918. His work over, Bill was discharged with all the military honors the next day."

Mr. Meyer has a charming wife and two beautiful daughters, and makes his home in Berkeley, Calif.

Affectionately known as White Brothers' roving ambassador, Bill's territory and itinerary are entirely of his own choosing. He has many friends throughout Northern California, and because of his unique experience in all branches of the hardwood industry has a broad background that enables him to tackle and help solve many of the lumber problems of his customers.
