strikingly shows why this institu-

small business enterprises than the
story of growth of Weyerhaeuser
Timber Company.
Frederick Weyerhaeuser, who
came from Europe as a lad, reached
Rock Island, Illinois, in 1856. He had
planned to farm. Instead, he went to
work in sawmill. He was thrifty,
energetic, hard working. He also had
knack for organization and was a
keen Judge of men. Before long, with
partner, he purchased the sawrnill

humble start.
Before 1900 the broad timber lands
of the Far West had been touched
but little. There were few people on
the West Coast. The Eastern mar
kets for lumber were far away. Rail
freight rates were very high. The
Panama Canal was not yet in exist
ence. Trees standing in the West
Coast forests were more drug on
the market than an asset. Around
the turn of the century times were
not good. Frederick Weyerhaeuser

to sell tracts of timber and obtain

future.
These partners formed the Weyer.

to 5000 persons. The Weyerhaeuser
Timber Company has moved stead

utilization Of the forest resources
and of continuous and perpetual har.

it has created jobs that are more nu-
