Man can no more escape contact with oak, than he can escape breath- 

 ing. It is the only wood of which it can be truthfully said: 



"It is of direct use and benefit to every man, woman and child in 

 America." 



There is not a structure in all this country free from the influences 

 of oak. If not used in its flooring or other finish, it is apt to be found 

 in tlie furnishings, and if by any freak of circumstance other woods 

 have been employed for these purposes, then oak-bark will have been 

 used in the soles of all shoes that tread its halls. 



Nature has been particularly partial to oak, — ^^^ 

 the fact thai the combined totals of all other hard- 

 rvoods in this counlr]) do not equal the uncut oal( in 

 our forests proves that nature reposes unusual con- 

 fidence in oa}('s abilitp to fill civilization s rvants. 



Why not make it your personal business to help create a more whole- 

 some respect for oak among its millions of unconscious users? 

 Such activities will precipitate more oak products, — which means 



ADDITIONAL MONEY IN BOTH OUR POCKETS
