Garlson fs King In San Joaquin Valley

Over in the San Joaquin valley they have three great institutions that the natives like to brag about-the annual raisin crop, Yosemite Park and Earl Carlson.

It is of the latter institution that we are about to discourse, with a few hundred well chosen words. EarI is not FROM the San Joaquin valley, exactly, but he certainly is OF it, and FOR, it.

And the people of the valley likewise are FOR, him-particularly the lumbermen. While Earl's business pursuits bring him into daily contact with the lumber folks, his acquaintance and his popularity are not limited to that somewhat restricted circle. He knows everyone from Bakersfield to Stockton and.

son, aged. seven weeks. The latter youngster, as you may have surmised., was named after Augustus James Russell, the big chief of the Santa Fe Lumber Company, and. honestly, "Gus" is almost as proud of the chap as Earl is.

Earl is an enthusiastic Hoo-Hoo and belongs to the Osirian cloister. IIe is a Mason, a Shriner, a humdinger, and a gogetter; of the last two organizations he is a charter member.

While still a young man, he probably is the oldest salesman in the valley-when continuous service for one company is consid.ered.
