Everyone KNOWS what OAK Is; that Is why 

 It Is so easy to sell Oak goods. 



There will always be a market for all the 

 Oak our sawmills have any right to cut. 



There are eight evergreen oaks In the United 

 States, more than half of which are confined 

 to the region west of the Rocky Mountains. 

 Not one of them possesses much value as a

The oldest oak tree still standing (If tradi- 

 tion is true) Is known as Abraham's oak, near 

 Jerusalem. If the patriarch Abraham ever 

 camped In Its shade, as the story goes, the 

 event must have occurred 4.000 years ago. 



No wood le more susceptible to the fuming 

 process than oak, and both red and white oak 

 are suitable for this process.
