B 1114 — Oak Timbers Needed 



Duluth, Minn., April 16. — Editor Haiiliwoiid Record: We buy con- 

 siderable oak timbers in sizes 12-\12, 10' to 32' Ic.ng : 14x14. 16x10 and 12, 

 14 and 16' lengths. These we want to show strictly sound from all tour 

 sides and both ends, as wo use them to resaw into various smaller sizes 

 for vessel planking, repair to cars and numerous uses. We wonder if you 

 could advise us of any members of jour bureau who are in a position to get 

 out timbers of this character — that is, timbers that will open up sound in 

 the heart. We wonder if you could put us in touch with any concern that 

 makes a specialty of this stock. It has licen our experience that Virginia 

 and Kentucky oak cuts up much better than oak which we sometimes get 

 from the far South. •
