Recalls Purchase of Redwood Fence Posts Made 49 yearc Ago

Away back in 1883 (some of you lumber youngsters can remember back to that time) the San Diego Lumber Company was operating a lumber yard in San Diego, just as it does today, when in walked a father and son, ranchers, who wanted materials for eleven miles of fencing for their ranch. They ended by buying Redwood posts to build that fence, whi.ch was of barb wire construction.

Within the last month W. E. Gird, the son, visited the office of the San Diego Lumber Company and recalled the time he and his father bought and built that fence. It still stands, he reported, sound and good for many decades to come. The ranch is near Bonsall. which is not far from San Diego.

The folks at the office of the San Diego Lumber Company got quite a kick out of that visit. The fact that the Redwood posts were sound and giving service af.ter 49 years did not surprise them, but the return of the buyer after that length of time was quite an event.

By the way, the San Diego Lumber Company, which belongs to the Dolbeer & Carson interests of San Francisco has been operating in San Diego since 1869, and during all that time has had but four yard managers. Harry McGahey, the present manager, is the fourth in line.

His letter in part follows:

"Do we need Hoo-Hoo International ? Is the continuance of Hoo-Hoo International of sufiicient moment to us to justify membership and a constru,ctive interest in its affairs? The answer to both of these vital questions is an emphatic YES.

'"The Supreme Nine will pledge an economical administration during the ensuing Hoo-Hoo year. But this alone will not place our Order in its rightful place in the industry -your membership and active interest are imperative.

"I do not like to contemplate the lumber industry without Hoo-Hoo. The good times we have had together-the pleasant contacts made-the opportunity to really know our fellow lumbermen-are some of the things which we will not relinquish.

"Shall we have two or three concatenations in different parts of the State this year, just to renew our acquaintances and friendships ?

"Send your check for membership renewal to Carl R. Moore, local secretary, 142 Beverly, San Leandro, California, for quick, careful attention. Send it now, while you are thinking of how much we need Hoo-Hoo."
