HARDWOOD RECORD 



II 



^ The Soft Textured Woods of This Region Have Never Been Surpassed |^ 



Impartial Observers Praise 

 East Tennessee Hardwoods 



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

 ■^ of well-schooled consumers familiar with the country's hardvt^ood sup- 

 plj' 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 w^hich in som.e 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.
