Impartial Observers Praise 

 East Tennessee Hardwoods 



iT is the unvarying opinion of fair-minded hardwood manufacturers and 

 *■ of well-schooled consumers familiar with the country's hardv/ood sup- 

 ply that the hardwoods of the great East Tennessee mountain region have 

 never been surpassed even by the most widely acclaimed products of re- 

 stricted areas. 



East Tennessee hardwoods in every one of their great variety of 

 species combine the zealously sought qualities of grade, good dimension, 

 satisfying texture, and variety of figure which in some quarters are repre- 

 sented as being contained only in limited and closely worked regions 

 where "each tree separately, and not the conglomerate forest," is the 

 objective of the sawmill man, but — 



The fact that the wonderful East Tennessee quality is embraced in 

 the "forest" rather than in "each tree separately" is a big advantage to 

 the buyer, as he is assured of unvarying supplies of any wood he wants 

 and at all times — he can count on service. 



The following firms are the principal manufacturers in this region 

 who will tell you anything you want to know about East Tennessee quality.
