STATE ASSOCIATION PICKS LIVE LUMBERMAN IN PLACING PINKERTON AT HELM.

When the retail lumber dealers of the state selected C. W. Pinkerton of Whittier as president of their newly formecl association at the San Francisco convention late last montl-r. their ch'oice fell on one of the most poptrlar lumberman in the state.

As an execntive of the state and the Southern California associat'ions, Mr. Pinkerton has come in contact with most of the active dealers of the state. and everywhere he is recognized as a live, progressive, straight-shooting, hard-hitting chap. It is nniversally agreed that the state association didn't go wrong when it selected him and that it can't so far wrong so long as he is at the head of it.

'fhe old adage abouL a prophet being u'ithout honor in his own countrv doesn't h,old good so lar as Pinkerton is cengslngd-not that he, is a prophet exactly, but he is wise enough to be one all the same-for he has been head of the \\rhittier Chamber of Commerce for two or three rterms and preside.nt of the Orange County Lum,bermen's Club at varlous tilxes.

As head of the Whittier Lumber Contpany he has done his share. along rvith the other yards at Whittier, 'to educate the people of the communitv to buy their lum'ber at home. Those slicksters r.vho go around trying to induce the consumer to buy in car lo,ts "direct from the mill' or rvherever it is they profess to get their luruber from, have been starvecl out of Whittier, for the people of Wh,ittier are loval to their local yards.

\\'e expect to hear sonre grea't thirrgs of the state association with Piukerton at the hel.n.
