LOUISVILLE 



THE HARDWOOD GATEWAV OF THE SOUTH 



The "Open Sesame" to Lumber 

 Satisfaction 



If you are a buyer of hardwood lumber, whether a wholesaler or 

 factory man, we have something of interest to say to you. It is not 

 merely interesting in a general w^ay, but it has a dollars-and-cents 

 angle that will appeal to you practicalh'. 



We want to show you how to buy lumber in the wa}- to get the 

 most for your money. You know, whether you buy for your own use 

 or on the account of a customer, that there are more things involved 

 in a lumber deal than getting a quotation and signing the order. The 

 most important things come after; first, in the way the lumber is in- 

 spected and measured; second, the general condition of the stock, 

 how it has been manufactured, dried, etc.; third, the way the lumber 

 runs for widths and lengths; fourth, the service to the customer in 

 the delivery of the stock just when it is wanted — not too soon nor 

 too late. 



In other words, the lumber concern which is wortliy of your pat- 

 ronage must do more than sell lumber: it must also dispense satis- 

 faction. And it may be of interest to you to know^ that lumber buy- 

 ers of importance are agreed that Louisville, Kentucky, is the most 

 satisfactory hardwood market in the United States. 



Think this over and write to anv of tlic firms listed liclow.
