Henry M. Hink Elected President of Dolbeet & Carson Lumber Co.

Henry M. Hink was elected president of Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co., San Francis,co, effective September 8, succeedi.ng the late J. M. Carson.

B. N. Bullock, who has been with the company for many years at Eureka, was named vice-president.

Mr. Hink is now in his 32nd year of service with the company. It is interesting to record that when he came to work for Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Co. in June, 1910, their Redwood lumber was shipped to Southern California by sailing vessels. These were replaced later by steam schooners, and now rail shipment giving faster and better service, has superseded steam schooners.
