 in the way of equipment and Mr. Schiff's vast experience 

 in engineering and technical skill were called upon to the 

 utmost to solve the problems presented by such unusual 

 requirements. Thus, today American made plywood, 

 made with American machinery and American labor is 

 supplying the world, not only with the standard types of 

 material, but with the special stuff which, built up in un- 

 usual sizes and glued with waterproof glue of secret 

 processes, has heretofore been procurable only in Russia 

 and other European and Asiatic sections. 



The Flora American Plywood Company, Ltd., has 

 behind it large timber holdings and has accessible many 

 other stands of timber which will insure its operation for 

 a good many years in the future. 



With the war emergency over, the Flora American 

 Plywood Company, Ltd., has now turned its attention to 

 commercial production and has on its books vast orders 

 for export shipment to England and for distribution in 

 other parts of the world. Further plans are now ma- 

 turing for supplying domestic markets in America with 

 complete requirements in plywood of the character manu- 

 factured by this company for panels for office furniture, 

 partitions, car ceilings, drawer bottoms, picture backs 

 and other kindred purposes. The company is also pre- 

 pared to turn out large quantities of shooks, its specialty 

 being plywood box shooks of waterproof, strong and light 

 material, in sizes up to 60 by 180 inches. It operates 

 today primarily in birch and gum. 



It might be particularly emphasized that the Flora 

 American Plywood Company, Ltd., is prepared, through 



its complete equipment, its vast timber resources, its equip- 

 ment of logging, skidding and operating machinery, for 

 any emergency in the way of special and large sized 

 orders. In fact, one of the most certain factors to be 

 reckoned with in the dealings of this company is its readi- 

 ness and ability to handle its business expeditiously, care- 

 fully and efficiently all the way through. Mr. Schiff takes 

 pride in giving personal supervision to the operation of 

 the American plants which are the American links in the 

 chain owned by the English capitalists, Mr. Schiff being 

 the directing head of the entire enterprise. A conception 

 of the magnitude of the American business can be gained 

 by the fact that at the American operation 1 1 00 employes 

 are working full time. 



The Flora American Plywood Company, Ltd., wishes 

 it to be generally known that special war business is now 

 off the books and that the company is ready to give the 

 commercial trade of America and the rest of the world 

 its best efforts in taking care of commercial business. The 

 large and well stocked warehouses guarantee prompt 

 shipment of well seasoned, kiln-dried stock and the variety 

 of materials thus stored is assurance that orders of almost 

 any character can be promptly filled. 



Veneer stock should be dried until it contains only from three 

 to five per cent of moisture and should then remain in ordinary 

 atmosphere until it takes up whatever moisture it will absorb from 

 the air. No matter how dry it is made, it will not long remain 

 much dryer than the air in contact with it, but if it contains more 

 moisture than the air, it will take some time to bring it down to 

 atmospheric dryness by air seasoning alone.
