The Fruit Growe: Susanvill,

Susanville is a lovely little California city that nestles in the sunshine on a pleateau nearly a mile above sea level.

It is located in Lassen County on the Fernley & Lassen branch of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which runs through Lassen County, east to Reno, Nev. This is the same line on rvhich the lovely milling town of Westr'r'ood (previously described) is located, the two big mills being about twenty-five miles apart.

Susanville is not, like many of the other big sawmill 1ocations, a strictly sarvmill torvn. The littlecity of Susanville is a modern and attractive place, with the mill town and plant adjoining thetown proper. In fact, the mill torvn is a separate little city of itself, and many of the men in the organization have attractive homes in the immediate vicinity of the mill.

The mill and mill torvn belong to The Fruit Growers Supply Cornpany, which is a subsidiary corporation to the "Sunkist" Orange Growers association. It is the larger of the twomills belonging to this company, the other one being located not far away at Hilt, California. The headquarters of the concern are in San Francisco.

The officers of The Fruit Growers Supply Company look upon Susanville with great pride. They irave tried to make it, and believe it to be, the model sawmill plant and torvn of the entire Coast. From a standpoint of neatness, cleanness, attractiveness, and general freedom from most of the things that make many mill towns unsightly, Susanville may well challenge comparison.

The mi11 plant, buildings, sheds, and the entire mill town, carry out this thought of attractiveness and neatness. All the buildings are so unusually well built, well painted, and well kept, that Susanville leaves a lasting impression on the mind of the visitor, no matter how many mills he may have seen, or where located. The homes of the men, the streets, the alleys, the mill-orvned club, hotel, and other buildings, all follow the same plan, wellbuilt, attractively painted, and good looking.

In the mill and plant itself it is the same. There is no

Sawmill, Iog pon, iitter, no refuse, no odds and ends, no dirt. Everything is neat, clean, orderly.

The houses and other builclings a.ll conform to a general architectural idea, English style, built on rvide, rvell piled, ancl well kept streets. They have abig Club House for
