Smith Lumber Co. Moves

San Francisco Yard

Smith Lumber Company, which has operated a distributing yard along the Channel since 1915 in San Francisco, is moving to a new site between Sixth and Seventh, and Irwin and Hubbell Streets. The phone number remains the same, MArket 0103.

The move has been made necessary because the Government has taken over the property and is building warehouses for surplus stores for shipment overseas.

The company's large sheds, office building, and lumber stocks are being moved, and it is expected the job will be completed about November 10.

Looking to the future this concern purchased a waterfront site about a year ago, which is now leased to the Government, and on which they hope to build after the war.

Smith Lumber Company also operates a large distributing yard in Oakland. They have for many years been a big factor in lumber distribution in the San Francisco Bay district, and prior to the war did a wholesale and retail business.

William Smith is president of the company, and Reginald Smith is vice-president.
