ALBERS, O. J.: An attorney who has made marked progress in the practice of his 
profession, and who stands high in the esteem of his colleagues, is O. J. 
Albers, of Chehalis.  Mr. Albers is a native of Illinois and was born in 1882. 
His academic training was had in public schools.  From the University of
Washington, he graduated in 1909 with the LL. B. degree.  He is now Court
Commissioner of Lewis county, and chairman of the Municipal Park Board.  Mr.
Albers is one of the self-made men of Washington.  By this I mean that all
that he has was secured through his own efforts.  He frequently appears in the
courts, and has met with marked success.  in the court room he possesses a
measure of self-confidence that is admirable.  He has always made it a
distinct policy never to enter into trial until he has sifted every atom of
ecvidence.  In argument he is convincing and thorough in every detail.  He
neither asks nor seeks quarter, but contests every inch of ground.  Each case
shows care and precision and a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of
law.  In 1918 Mr. Albers married Miss Nell G. Bagley, a graduate of Providence
Hospital, Seattle, and the couple have one child, a daughter.  He is a member
of the Elks, Masons, Shrine, American Legion, and the county and state bar
associations.  In 1918 he enlisted in the army as a buck private.
