New massiveness, contributing
to the smartest styling ever de-
Slgned for the nation’s No. 1 sales
volume motor car, characterizes
the Chevrolet offering for 1942,
according to company engineers.
The new car is presented in three

' refinements to a luxury linesur-
passing all previous presentations
in the lowest-price field.
As in past years, the new car
is presented in the Master Deluxe

represented again by sedan, known
{as the Sportmaster, and the new

attractively styled models in the'
entire showing.

Bordeaux, which has been a

company built the mill, boarding

workmen, and during the years
many miles of railroad connecting
its cutting to demands of the mid-
dlc states and shipped its lumberl
by rail, and at its best 700 men;
were employed in the various op- l
erations. '
Company Dates Back To 1890
The Mason County Logging
Company was one of the oldest
of logging operations, the oldest
in point of name in Mason Coun-
ty, being organized in 1890 by
Thomas- and Joseph ‘Bordeauxw
brothers who had operated around
Shelton for several previous years
in partnership. A. H. Anderson,
then head ()1? the Satsop Railroad.
was one of the incorporators, and
Ferd. Stabenfeldt, the bookkeeper,
was the fourth member. This con- 6
corn expanded to larger opera-
tions on the Satsop, later Penin-i
sular, Railroad and logged for a;
l
l
dozen years covering most of the
territory between Dayton and
Lake Newatzel, then winding up!
in Mason County in the district!
near Scott‘s Prairie and Purdy‘
Canyon in 1907.
With the available timber grow—
ing short the company turned its
attention to the then untouched
belt around the Black Hills in,
Thurston County, where Bordeaux
was located for the mill site andl
several miles of railroad built; 1
where the company transferrcdl
all its operation and continued un- 5
til the hills are bare of timber as '
well as all the territory within
reach. In 1908 the company was]
reorganiZed with capital stock of
$1,000,000, with the Bordeaux
Brothers and A. H. Anderson as
stockholders.
George Brazcl Blazcd The \Vuy
According to the Daily Olym-J
pian, George Brazel, an Olympian
who will be 84 years old this Dec—
ember. remembers the time when
he supervised a total of 700 men
at the operation. Brazel was the
man who cut the first bush in that
area.
In the summer of 1896, Brazel
was hired by the logging company
to cruiSe the area. He worked four
months, and in the fall of that
year had run a survey eight miles
in from the Northern Pacific
tracks to South Cedar Creek.
The survey completed, Brazel
then worked for several years,
opening the Shelton camp for the
Mason County Logging Company.
In January, 1900, he was put in
charge of a crew to grade a road,
where he had run his survey into
the present Bordeaux area. The
crews laid tracks into the woods
for three miles, built the main
camp where Bordeaux now is and
in June of that year started log-
ging. I
Brazel was foreman for several!
years, was later made superin-
tendent-of the operation, a posi‘
lion he held until ihc latler 1920's.
