This .o-pun/ r,o.., has six y?rgs, four in LoJ Angelei, and one each at Reclondo and fnglewood.

A car-eful-study of the photograph at the top will reveal more fully the details of the plant than could a careful writ- ten ex-planation. The yard occupies twelve acres, with a large frontage on Sguth Park Avenue, a main artery runnin-g_ into the hew industrial district, near the Goodyear Rubber Company plant.

A modern and up-to-date office building, huge sheds, liilns, a tremendous mill and other shed buildings are in the front part of the site. The yard proper will alcommoclate about twelve million feet of lumber-.

The yard is carefully planned to eliminate rehandling and reduce the labor _cost of loading and unloading an? storing lumber and other building miterials.

All alley-ways are 20- ieet wide, providing plenty of room to eliminate crowding. Loadirig and un"Ioading of cars is done with an electric crane, and distribu_ tion through the yards is accomplished with a minimum of time and manual labor by a fleet of carriers.

The company will continue to use the East First Street office as their main offices,

LOAD AND UNLOAD WITH ONE HAND-

Before you buy a Gas Lumber Carrier, take the trouble to ask an unprejudiced operator who has used difierent gas carriers.

He will tell you that he can bandle many more loads with the Miller. One reason for this is in the simplicity of the mechanism for picking up the toad.

One hand on, the whecl, the oPerator can actually pick up a load in motion and lay it down while he is still going.

No foot lever or clutch has to be operated to load.

We have some well prepared literature, plain but to thc point, with an actual photographic reproduction and detailed specifications written in terms that a mill man will appreciate.

Write for this information.
