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.

Our aim has always been to supply Saws and 

 Wood-working Machine Knives that will give 

 the maximum service and at the same time do 

 the finest kind of work with the least amount 

 of care. Obtaining these results is the work 

 of experience — and we have been doing it 

 eighty years.
