Oak— the Friend of the Family 



O 



UR grandmothers cherished it — our granddaughters will demand 

 it. Why should we, in our conceit, think we know better? 



Regardless of the elements — of high water — of too much snow 

 — of too little snow — or of any other phenomenon, OAK is one wood 

 you can always get. 



While its range of growth is so wide that there is an unending 

 selection of grain, texture, color and figure, it attains the same de- 

 pendable strength, the same ease of working, the same reliability in 

 drying in all its habitats. 



Mr. Woodworker, talk OAK to your trade: 



Because the popular confidence in and friendship for this wood 

 will help to sell your products made of OAK; 



Because its price is never exorbitant (you can get more "class" 

 with OAK for less money than with any other wood) ; 



Because it offers such a pleasing variety of appearances that 

 your trade can cater to the richest and the poorest without needing 

 other woods; 



Because its supply is constant and will not be exhausted — OAK 

 is a known quantity. 



Remember that OAK's consistent stability does not indicate that 

 it is standing still. OAK is unequalled in lending itself to all changes 

 in styles, patterns and finishes. OAK manufacturers are always ready 

 to serve woodworkers in solving any problems occasioned by chang- 

 ing ideas of the public.
