Perhaps Some of Our Gum Lumber Has 

 Gotten Into Your Own House. If So, 

 You Are Praising Gum — Not Cussing It 



Our Gum in its devious course from the woods through the mill and 

 into the pile, and then the car, is watched at every step with solicitous 

 attention. That is wny we can guarantee that every stick of it will 

 reach the customer's factory in perfect condition. 



That is why we have so many enthusiastic letters from users' who 

 can see where they have reduced cutting room costs through using it. 



You can save money in the same way — we can prove that you can.
