If you attempt to dry two-inch oak 

 in your kiln in fourteen days the re- 

 sult will probably resemble the above 

 illustration. 



The lower picture is from a photo- 

 graph of two-inch oak dried by the 

 Grand Rapids Veneer Works Process 

 in fourteen days, and every plank as 

 sound as the sample. 



The absence of checks is not the 

 only saving due to this process. The 

 lumber is straight, soft and free from 

 sap or acids. 



For a small sum of money your old 

 kilns can be converted to G. R. V. W. 

 Process Kilns, with a guarantee to 

 give the results above described.

The Simonds Band Saws pictured above are 

 of a size unusual to a great many of the readers 

 of Hardwood Record. They are each nearly 

 46 feet long and only 5>^ inches wide. Two 

 saws are neatly folded, one inside of the other, 

 and, as seen in the illustration, are just ready 

 for crating and shipping from the Simonds 

 Fitchburg, Mass., factory. Another interesting 

 feature is that the Saws are being sent to cus- 

 tomers in England and are to be used as log 

 saws on English made machines. Simonds Band 

 Saws of this kind are furnished by us for several 



firms in England.

The price — whether 

 high or low — paid 

 for a Saw is always 

 overshadowed by the 

 results obtained.
