	REID F. HUBBARD:  Reid F. Hubbard, the secretary and 
treasurer of the Eastern Railway and Lumber Company, dates his 
residence in Centralia from 1902.  He was born in Alamo, 
Michigan, and is a son of Rolland P. Hubbard.  His Education was 
acquired in the schools of Michigan and Washington and in early 
manhood he was connected with a lumber manufacturing agency for 
a period of three years or until 1907.  He came to Centralia in 1902, 
and 1910 he entered upon a clerical position with the Eastern 
Railway and Lumber Company, with which he has since been 
identified, working his way upward to a position of executive 
control as secretary and treasurer of the most important industrial 
enterprise of the city, having two hundred and twenty-five employee 
engaged in the manufacture of lumber, shingles and cross arms.  
Their business today o'ertops that of any other enterprise of the kind 
in this section of the state and they manufacture as many cross arms 
as any mill on the coast, their product going to eastern territory.  Mr. 
Hubbard has become thoroughly familiar with every branch of the 
business through long connection and practical experience and his 
efforts are now productive of substantial and valued results.
	In 1907 Mr. Hubbard was married to Miss Annie Alfred, of 
Centralia, and they have two children, Francis B. and Helen Louise.  
Mr. Hubbard belongs to the Masonic fraternity.  His interests are 
not self-centered but have to do with the requirements and 
opportunities of citizenship as well as with private business affairs.  
He is an alert, energetic and progressive young business man, 
watchful of opportunities pointing to successful achievement in 
business but at the same time thoroughly alive to the chance of 
promoting public welfare.
