WHO BUYS HARDWOODS? 



Do You Want the List? 



The Hardwood Record supplies free of charge to its lumber advertisers a bulletin service showing the an- 

 nual requirements of lumber, dimension stock veneers and panels of consumers of those materials throughout 

 the United States and Canada. 



Specifically, the items of the bulletins recite: 



Name of state and town 

 Name of concern 

 Name of buyer 

 Line manufactured 



Kinds, grades and thicknesses of Lumber 

 Kinds and sizes of dimension stocks 

 Kinds and thicknesses of veneers 

 Kinds, thicknesses and sizes of panels. 



The paragraphs are cut from the bulletins and pasted on patent cards, the numbered tabs corresponding to 

 the kinds of lumber not used are removed, and the cards are filed in alphabetical order between state guide 

 cards. No house not in good commercial repute is listed. The card index thus formed, which requires but 

 about an hour's work by a clerk once a week, forms a complete roster of the hardwood requirements of all users, 

 and is an invaluable adjunct to the sales department of every manufacturer and jobber. 



This service is free to all advertisers, save the patent index cards which show at a glance the kinds of lum- 

 ber used by each concern, and which are sold at .$3.50 a thousand, the state guide cards costing 75 cts. a set.
