one locality our northern grown logs are just as plentiful and as fine as 

 ever. According to the words of one of the most famous Hoosiers, Un- 

 cle Joe Cannon, there is more fine hardwood timber in sight in Indiana 

 today than when he was a boy. Obviously that is not a literal fact, but

it is entirely true that the present generation controlling our business is 

 able to operate on strictly northern grown logs of as high a quality as 

 any cut by our grandfathers who founded the business on this same site 

 fifty-two years ago. Many buyers are today using Hoffman Brothers 

 lumber and veneers who secured part or all of their requirements from 

 our mills when this business was founded. 



With each generation the family tradition of unalterable integrity of 

 product and business practice has been strengthened. The truest story 

 of our business is told in the class of ctistomers who use our goods and 

 the reputation which their goods, made with H. B. veneers and lumber, 

 have in their markets.
