The facilities of their Berkeley factory for the past few years have been devoted to the manufacture of articles used for war purposes, mainly boxes and pallets. They employ about 100 men.

Mr. Todd has traveled on the road for his firm right along, is still active, drives his own car and thoroughly enjoys calling on the trade. He is acknowledged to be the Dean of the sash and door salesmen. The dealers are delighted to have him call. Right at the moment, of course, calls are limited by the gasoline shortage.

He travels extensively and during the last few years has spent the winters in Arizona. He has always been a great reader of history, biography and travel books. He is a keen golfer, and nou'and then Sreaks 100, and also plays a good game of bridge. He has a splendid record of 16 years consecutive Rotary attendance.
