Will

Owing to the fact that the Third 1931 Tri-Annual Meeting of the Pacific Coast Division of the National Association of Wooden Box Manufacturers. which was scheduled for October 23 and 24, at Klamath Falls. will conflict with the Pacific Logging Congress at Spokane, which many wooden box manufacturers wish to attend, A. H. Gordon, Pacific Coast Manager, announces it has been deemed advisable !g postpone the Association meeting until November 13 and 14.

The meeting will be held at the Willard Hotel, Klamath Falls, Oregon, and a very full program is anticipated, as there ar.e many subjects of geneial interest to the-industry to be discussed, and problems to be adjusted. A large a[tendance is expected, and they are looking forward to having a number of the Northwestern manufacturers present.

My dear Harry:

Permit me to say that your advertisement in the current number of The California Lumber Merchant is the best present day lumb,er advertisement I have se,en put out in this territory, and its psychological effect should be excellent.

Now, if you can get this same message over to the retail buyer, the architect, and the money lender; instilling in them, with informing propaganda, a desire for \he best; you will accomplish a result which will well repay you.

With best wishes from "a nut on the subject", I am

Very sincerely, cw-w
