 Grow Better 



HY is it that east Tennessee hardwoods in spite 

 of comparatively high values are winning and 

 holding new markets every year? 



Merely because of a precise balance in growing 

 conditions that makes inferior quality impossible. 

 This is no random boast — it is the official opinion of 

 impartial experts. 



We claim no credit for such excellence of raw 

 material. Our task is merely that when you wish to 

 demonstrate for yourself you may be insured the best 

 possible service and unvarying quality in manufacture. 



Besides many minor species the list includes: 



OAK WALNUT 



POPLAR CHESTNUT 



Hickory Ceaar Asn 



Basswood Beech Maple
