Thirty years' experience in the handling of 

 walnut logs for export enables me to furnish 

 guaranteed prime quality stock. 



1 am constantly iu close personal touch 

 with the source of supply of export walnut 

 logs and know exactly what I am getting at 

 all times. In fact, a number of the best for- 

 eign houses are taking up my logs on my own 

 recommendation. 



My supply enables me to fill orders of any 

 size in carload lots without delay. 



Highly Figured Walnut 



As a result of close personal supervision of 

 log purchases my stock of highly figured wal- 

 nut in long wood and stumps contains only 

 the choicest in figure and curl that can be 

 found. 



All this stock is carefully selected to take 

 care of a discriminating demand. 



My figured stumps are all dressed closely 

 and when shipped are practically in shape for 

 the knife. 



Youwill lose nothing by trying me on your 

 next inquiry.
