How the Stoneman, the rugged
looking gentleman making his ap-
pearance now in every advertisement
and on every piece of business sta
tionery emanating frgm, The Stein
man Bros. Lumber company, came to
be adopted as the Arms trademark
makes an interesting story.
1t was Forrest Steinman, president
of the lumber film, who mentioned
that the name, kSteinman, means
man of stone in German. A stone
man in Germany is building crafts
man, therefore the local lumber COM
pany had been well nauted.
Five different coDfmercial artists
took up the idea from that point. The
best features of Eketches submitted

product.
