What Is Your Best Price? 



ASH 

 ELM 

 GUM

An inquiry asking for that — a "best price" — 

 makes us think one of two things: either the 

 man who inquires regards lumber as an 

 expense; or he thinks of us as a sort of a 

 masfician with an elastic conscience — one that 

 can make good quality from ordinary stock. 

 Now in the first place lumber is not an ex- 

 pense but an investment; it is the necessary 

 raw material that goes into furniture, into 

 trim, into automobiles, into everything where 

 lumber is used. 



And in the second place, the only magic at 

 our command is to give you exacdy what you 

 buy— a GOLDEN RULE GRADE, lum- 

 ber that will make better furniture, better 

 trim, better automobiles. 



This is just what we will do — furnish you with 

 lumber that will not be just an investment, but 

 an asset; one that will not only make the goods 

 you manufacture better goods, but will be a 

 profitable investment for both buyer and seller. 

 Our stock sheet is ready for mailing now.
