Mexican Mahogany— s 



cut from one tract of timber, and reduced 

 into lumber hy modern band mill methods 

 within two months from the time the 

 trees are felled, constitutes the finest 

 quality of stock that can be had. 



The fact of its beins taken from a single 

 tract of timber, owned by ourselves, and 

 operatei.1 by us insures an even texture and 

 color to the wood. 



The fact that it is reduced to lumber so soon 

 after being cut skives a uniformly hard 

 grade of wood with plenty of life to it. 



If you want a high grade article, the best the 

 market affords, get in touch with us. 



Watch eur stock list: here twice a month.
