It would not make much difference so far 

 as the song is concerned, but It would satisfy 

 some people's curiosity if the matter could 

 be settled whether the "Old Oaken Bucket" 

 was made of white oak or of red oak. 



For 25 years we have made Oak and still specialize 

 In this, the best of American hardwoods. Our prices, 

 grades and service are worth considering.
