A Brand i^;;^^onfMence^ 



We manufacture and sell both 

 northern and southern hard- 

 woods — 



We prefer to cater to such 

 woodworking interests as ap- 

 preciate live, thrifty timber, 

 good manufacture, honestly 

 and carefully administered in- 

 spection. 



We will offer this year approx- 

 imately fifty million feet of 

 hardwood lumber, and we 

 should like to feel that some 

 portion of this is going to 

 be used in your factory, being 

 confident that it will exactly 

 fit your needs! 



Both our northern and south- 

 ern plants are in operation and 

 if we have not what you need 

 in dry stock perhaps we can 

 cut and season it for you. 



If your crating requirements 

 call for stock to be worked — 

 surfaced, resawed, ripped — we 

 are in a position to quote you 

 now. Write today.
