AGENTS tgres. They do an enormous ironing board business in the East, their board being made of spruce, at once attractive in appearance and workmanship, and powerful in construction. These are sold principally in wholesale lots. Their folding breakfast nook iet is-one of the marvels of thebuilt-in business, and their kitchen furniture equip- ment is adaptable and highly attractive and efficient. -

This mighty business is the lengthened shadow of a man -E. M. Tilden. And it is a mighty lengthened shadow, for Mr. Tildenisn't big. But what he lacks in- size he makes up in ability, in virility, in business acumen, and forceful executive powers. He created the business, built !t sJeq by step to its present admirable proportions, and he_loots after every move that is made, right to this day.

He has been in the lumber business alwayl, starting wiih the Sierra Lumber Company, at Red Blufi, when h-e was just a boy. In 1901 he went into business for himself at Richmond, near Oakland, with a little retail vard. And from that small acorn, this mightly oak has giown in 26 Ieg_s. 9esides his three big units, the Tilden Lumber & yrll Comp-any, the Nationit tUitt & Lumber Company, and the Pacific Tank & Pipe Company (all three of wfr;Cn are now under one capital stock) all at Oakland, he oper- ates trventy-nine retail lumber yards outside of Oakland.

He finds time, does Mr. Tilden, to do many things besides look after every nook and corner of thii great-business that he has built. Heis President of thJFirst National Bank of Richmond, and Vice President of the Merchants National Bank of that same place. He is a Director in the Oakland Chamber of Commeice, and Vice president of the East Bay Industrial Association. He is active and interested in everything he touches. He takes his exercise by walking tirelessly around his great domain, and says that's the way he plays his golf.

Anyone talking to Mr. Tilden for an hour or so, and rvatching the operations that he directs, realizes that these

big business successes don't just happen. There's always a reason, and in this case, the reason is a most keen, uje_ ful, enterprising, and intelligent one. Mr. Tilden is that reason.
