HARDWOOD RECORD 



Of course it is true that 



Red Gum 



is America's finest cabinet wood — but 



Just as a poor cook will spoil the choicest 

 viands while the experienced chef will turn 

 them into prized delicacies, so it is true that 



The inherently superior qualities 

 of Red Gum can be brought 

 out only by proper handling 



When you buy this wood, as when you buy a new 

 .•nachine, you want to feel that you have reason for 

 believing it will be just as represented. 



We claim genuine superiority for our Gum. The 

 proof that you can have confidence in this claim is 

 shown by the letter reproduced herewith. 



Your interests demand that you remem- 

 ber this proof of our ability to preserve 

 the wonderful qualities of the wood 

 when you again want RED GUM. ^
