A letter received recently fro,m Mr. H. A. Lake, the proprietor of that live wire outfit at Garden Grove, known as the Garden Grove Lumber Colmipany, had, among other things, the following to say regarding the proposed amalgamation of the Southern California and Sta'te Retail Associations:

"I hope you have a good article soon about the advantage, of a state association, and particqlarly what it will benefit us to amalgamate the So'uthern California Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, with the State Association.

Note my advertisement, regarding being a member of the State Associatien.

In the signature of the ad. he states that his company is a member of the State Lumber Dealers' Asse ciation.
