THE HARDV/OOD GATEWAY OF THE SOUTH 



Place Your Contracts Here 



Leading consumers have learned the advantages of buying 

 their lumber on contract, making agreements with reliable 

 houses covering their year's supply, and then specifying deliv- 

 eries as the material is needed. 



This method has many advantages, chief among them being 

 absolute protection against unexpected rises in the market,' 

 shortages of stock and the like; while the lumberman, knowing 

 in advance the requirements of his customers, is in a position to 

 provide for them and to extend service which is not always pos- 

 sible with single-car orders. 



We are not endeavoring to convert present one-car buyers 

 into contract-makers; but the point we would like to impress is 

 that with reputable manufacturers at one end of an agreement, 

 and Louisville hardwood houses at the other, absolute satisfac- 

 tion and delivery of lumber as agreed are assured.
