Lumber King Wealth Question Sparks Agency Reply
Robert L. McCormick, coast manager for Frederick Weyerhauser, answers C. P. Norcross's January Cosmopolitan attack calling it a mix of facts and fiction. He portrays Weyerhauser as sociable and active, disputes the half‑billion valuation, and argues holdings are large but not colossal. The piece lists various land transactions and mining claims in Oregon and surrounding areas, reflecting a busy timber and real estate network.
