^Uy attention was first drawn to Cypress several years a^ 



by using some of it for d^li^ stakes, along with some 



etc. and after the had rotted away the Cypress showe-d no 



sign of decay. Since then I Jiave used it for boats and canoes 



and it has been very satisfactory."

THIS IS A SMALL MATTER, BUT IT IS WORTH WHILE 

 TO LISTEN TO THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS. 



Lumber Note — Dress Goods, Cattle, Real Estate, Bonds and Confectionery are 

 bought by the initiated only by careful specification of just what is wanted. Why 

 should not building materials be purchased with equal care? Often a certain 

 kind of lumber is used in a given case where some other kind of wood might be 

 better. The only economic security for the buyer is to know as much as possible 

 about the comparative values of the various species of wood for given uses. The 

 fact that "the wood eternal" (scientifically known as Cypress) is so much the 

 best for so many uses by no means proves that it is best for all. The manu- 

 facturers of Cypress lumber take the broad view that the best interest of the 

 actual user of their product is not only a matter of ethics, but is also the best sort 

 of merchandising policy for themselves. It is better for you to learn than to 

 experiment. The Editor of the Cypress Pocket Library will gladly advise on 

 matters large or small, if you will address him in care of American Forestry.
