The company's 75 years of life is depicted in the transition from ox-team logging in the 1890s, when Simpson em- ployed 30 men, to today's world- wide organization staffed by over 6,000 workers. Children on the float were sons and daugh- ters of Simpson employes and their costumes illustrate the change in our people over the past three-quarters of a century. The float, 48 feet long and 16 feet wide, was designed and built by Jerry Johnson, Simpson per- sonnel supervisor, assisted by Rudy Holmes and Clarence Faulkner of Simpaon's railroad division, Lucky Larson and Ev. erett Melton of Central Shops, and Susan Mr,oz, Shelton school act teacher. The float will ap- pear later in the McCleary 2nd Growth & Bear Festival, the MonteSano Dairy Festival, and the Olympia Lakefair.
