THE first essential to high-grade lumber, to minimum waste in work- 

 ing, uniform color and smooth, even, workable texture, is the proper 



character of timber. 



The timber areas from which Nashville lumbermen draw their stocks 

 have long been famous for the very highest type of oak, hickory, ash. 

 southern maple, poplar and other prominent members of the southern 

 hardwood family. This territory embraces the eastern halves of Kentucky 

 and Tennessee, and contiguous territory. 



Nashville lumber has become famous because it has always been 

 manufactured from this class of material, of which there is still plenty 

 left to meet all demands for many years to come. 



In addition to thus being naturally enabled to furnish just a little bet- 

 ter stock than the average hardwood lumberman, members of the Nash- 

 ville trade have always rigidly adhered to a most conscientious interpre- 

 tation of their customers' orders. There is now a very close working asso- 

 ciation between the different members of the local trade who, because of 

 this arrangement, have worked practically as a unit for the purpose of 

 maintaining the integrity of Nashville as an active advocate of the square- 

 deal. The square-deal as it is applied in this market is not a mere vague, 

 meaningless phrase, but is the very principle on which every transaction 

 in which local lumbermen are interested is carried on. 



The stocks now on hand on Nashville yards offer a great variety in 

 every commercially known variety of southern hardwood. Lumber buy- 

 ers are sincerely urged to give to this center their consideration when con- 

 templating placing orders for any kinds of southern hardwood lumber.
