OAK VENEER SUPPLY a Problem-Its Solution! 



riGVRED RED GUM P.IXIlt. 



TUK Nation's need for the Choicest Oak in airplane pro- 

 pellers, army wagons and artillery wheels is urgent and 

 has caused a constant shortage in oak veneers. Substitution 

 in furniture, piano and allied lines is imperative. 



P'igured Red Cum is the natural choice. While it costs 

 considerably less than quartered oak, mahogany or walnut, 

 it is conceded the equal of any and all imported or domestic 

 cabinet woods. European woodworkers of international repu- 

 tation have used gum in their mastex'pieces for a generation. 



Figured Red Gum is unique in that while practically free 

 from defects and working with little waste, it is most famous 

 for the exceptional quantity and variety of its figure and 

 color. Pleasing contrasts and rich blendings of shades and 

 tones are characteristic. 



The supply of Figured Red Gum is ample. At the same 

 time, though, the woodworker planning a Figured Gum line 

 can add greatly to the character of his goods through proper 

 selection from a diversified stock. 



This company has long specialized in Figured Red Cum and 

 anticipating the present situation has built up a 1,000,000 ft. 

 stock in which the chance for selection is remarkable. Nor 

 is this ordinary veneer — none but the choicest mottled gum 

 logs reach the veneer mill. The rest we make into lumber on 

 our adjoining band mill. The result is obvious. Also, our 

 location enables us to buy figured gum logs economically. 

 The effect on our veneer prices is noticeable. 



Whether you are merely looking for information or are in 

 the market' — let us have that Figured Gum Veneer inquiry. 

 It will have the most thorough reply, for we know our service 

 will help you plan and our veneers will help you sell your 

 Figured Gum line. 



Buy veneer and (N. B) hardwood lumber in mixed cars. 

 Save time in shipments and money in better prices and less 

 damaged goods.
