Why lose good money 

 By poor kiln drying? 



By our new method, we dry hard- 

 wood lumber so that it is absolutely 

 free from swelling or shrinking. 



We do this in half the time of any 

 kiln sold and can apply our system 

 to your present kiln. 



After installing the apparatus, if it 

 does not do all we claim, we will 

 take it out free of expense to you. 



} on can't lose in a trial.

THE MARKET IS DEMANDING 



MORE AND MORE 



Boards with Square Ends 



As well as STRAIGHT and PARALLEL edges 



The straight and parallel edges you can obtain 

 with a "TOWER" Edger, while the "TOWER" 

 One-man 2-saw Trimmer will give you the 

 square ends with a minimum of time, labor and 

 waste. In all other trimmers the manner of 

 shifting the saws is such that every time the 

 position of the saws is changed the operator has 

 to go clear to the end of the machine. In the 

 "TOWER" One-man 2-saw Trimmer he never 

 lias to go beyond the end of the board. Espec- 

 ially with short boards, this means a great sav- 

 ing in time and labor. It also greatly reduces the 

 amount of waste, as it is much easier to see how 

 to trim a board to the best advantage from the 

 end of the board than from the end of the ma= 

 chine. In all of these trimmers t here are two feeds, 

 which may be instantly started, stopped or 

 changed, without stopping the saws. Both an 

 controlled by the same lever, which is located in 

 tin' most convenient position.
