Why 

 T pne-RCLL Lumber 



Is Trade-Marked 



For a quarter of a century we have manu- 

 factured lumber that has maintaindd a 

 reputation for uniform high quality. For 

 an equal period a constantly increasing 

 number of consumers have purchased our 

 products, and, in many cases, did not know 

 who made them. Now all our lumber and 

 timbers bear this trade-mark 



The Mark On Quality Lumber 



Because of our capacity and ability for 

 service, our modern equipment, our care in 

 grading and efficient supervision of each 

 process of manufacture, we believe it 

 should be possible for retail lumber deal- 

 ers to take advantage of the quality of our 

 products. Therefore, all TonG-ReLL lum- 

 ber and timbers are branded with the 

 above trade-mark. 



Our largest national advertising 

 campaign, referring the reader 

 to the dealer, will make bigger, 

 better business for dealers who 

 sell T one-ReLL branded lumber 

 products.
