Swivel-chair logger: The life and work of Anton A. "Tony" Lausmann

Ye Galleon Press

Teenage "Tony" Lausmann arrived in an Oregon logging camp office in 1907 with a typewriter under his are to take a job as secretary/accountant. He was a graduate of the 8th grade from the Chicago public schools and had attended a night school business college where he learned office procedures. Before accepting the job in Hood River, Oregon, he worked for a lumber broker in Chicago and thus he cut his teeth in the lumber industry from an office viewpoint. Once in Oregon however, he was quick to accept an assignment of his employer to go to a mill in the forest, on the side of a mountain, where he was "to keep track of things." He overhauled office systems for his lumber mill employer and to save steps he built a telephone line and a home-made switchboard. Tony Lausmann has played a concertina since he was a very small child so when he went into the woods, a concertina went with him. And he entertained the night telephone operators over his home-made telephone system with his concertina seven years before network radio! Tony Lausmann was a thinker in his early days and brainstormed his way through all kinds of deals for decades. In SWIVEL-CHAIR LOGGER, Tony's precision in wheeling, dealing, his politics (he almost ran for Governor of Oregon), plus his philanthropies, and his concertina playing, for 70 years in all revealed in dynamic style. SWIVEL-CHAIR LOGGER is a non-fiction historical narrative supported with rare photos, notes, biblio., index, and a Foreword by William D. Hagenstein, former Executive Director of the Industrial Forestry Assn.
