HARDWOOD RECORD 



II 



Variety is the Spice 



Specialization is one of the necessities of modern busi- 

 ness, affecting somewhat the human truth of the declaration 

 regarding variety. The problem usually is to provide the 

 variation without scattering one's shot too much. 



In Louisville is found variety without weakness and con- 

 centration without narrowness. In other words, Louisville 

 has the most general line of hardwood stocks of any pro- 

 ducing center in the country. Some towns are strong on 

 poplar: others long on quartered oak and a few good in gum. 

 Some have fine offerings in veneers and fancy woods; some 

 shine when it comes to ash or hickory; but few of them do 

 much outside their specialty. 



There isn't an item in the list just named which cannot 

 be had, in quantity, in Louisville. This means, for the buyer, 

 that when he comes to Louisville he need "shop" no longer. 

 He can mark everything he needs off the list, for he can get 

 it — at a satisfactory price — right here. And for the buyer 

 who wants a mixed car of lumber, involving three or four 

 items, "club service" cannot be surpassed. 



Try us out at either end of the proposition and see how 

 it works.
