Detroit — the city blessed by "war babies" — has a particular manu- 

 facturer of interior trim, who is also a good lumberman and knows 

 values from A to Izzard. He contributes the following: 



"Replying to your favor of the 2nd, in which you request us to give our g 



opinion regarding the Kraetzer-Curcd Gum lumber which we have been pur- S 



chasing from you for some time past, would state that it gives us great g 



pleasure to advise that the quality of your stock has been vei'y satisfactory, = 



both as to grade and texture, but what appeals to us most is the evident = 



care which you use in manufacture, referring particularly to the fact that g 



your stock is very straight and flat, and also of a uniform color." g 



Some serious thought expressed in these few lines written ns. We have demon- B 



strated our al)ility to help him in h'- cn-v piirrhafc' — ^■:^^^ von afford to hold ofT m
