I HY is it that east Tennessee hardwoods in spite 



of comparatively high values are winning and 



hold'ing 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 Cedar Ash 



Basswood Beech Maple
