Louisville for Quartered Oak 



Quartered white oak is the aristocrat in the hardwood 

 line, and has first place among our domestic woods. Unex- 

 celled in cabinet work, it is versatile enough to lend itself to 

 a variety of other uses, and in any line where strength, figure 

 or finish is required white oak, quartered or plain, is called 

 upon. 



The revival of quartered oak is one of the big trade move- 

 ments of the fall. The demand is better than it has been 

 for a long time, as everybody knows. Likewise, everybody 

 has been cutting plain oak this summer on account of the 

 high prices at which that commodity is selling. Thus the 

 trade is facing a strong, if not unprecedented, demand for 

 quartered oak, coupled with a small supply due to the pre- 

 ponderance of plain oak production, not to mention the gen- 

 eral reduction caused by the floods in the lower Mississippi 

 Valley. 



If you have begun to realize that you are going to need 

 a lot of qviartered oak to take care of your wants during the 

 next six months, and have appreciated the difficulty of getting 

 good lumber, made from choice logs, at the right price, then 

 you are interested in what Louisville has to ofifer. This town 

 has always been famous for its quartered oak, and it is now 

 ready to make good its ancient reputation in this regard.
