ahead of the times in equipment. Business institutions of many years 

 standing divide themselves naturally into two classes. One group 

 through too long moving in the same groove eventually dies of dry 

 rot, in many cases behind the times in methdds and equipment. The 





other absorbs and applies knowledge with each year of experience and 

 so keeps constantly many paces ahead of the procession. The evidence 

 of our particii)ation in the second group is concretely shown in our plant 

 and reputation. 



Those founding the Imsiness originated and (i])erated the first band saw- 

 mill used in the United States. Today we arc in man_\- things that make 

 for quality and efficiency just as far ahead relatively as that mill was 

 in the days gone by. In short, the experience acquired through iifty- 

 two years of operation has not been left to accumulate dust in the office 

 files. It has been applied by the successive managements, who, all in 

 the same family, have been anxious to maintain, each for his genera- 

 tion, an equal standing with the generation which preceded him. To- 

 day the HB brand is recognized nationally as the stamp of quality on 

 the goods and in all the services going into each delivery of the goods 

 to your plant. ;
