SPECIMEN INDEX CARD 



SPECIMEN STATE GUIDE CARD 



The Hardwood Record 

 Supplies free of charge to 

 its lumber advertisers a 

 bulletin service showing 

 the annual requirements 

 of lumber, dimension 

 stock, veneers and panels 

 of wholesale consumers of 

 those materials through- 

 out the United States and 

 Canada. Specifically, the 

 items of the bulletins re- 

 cite: 



Name of state and town 



Name o{ concern 



Name of buyer 



Line manufactured 



Kinds, grades and thick- 

 nesses of lumber 



Kinds and sizes of dimen- 

 sion stock 



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 cor- 

 responding to the kinds 

 of lumber not used are 

 removed, and the cards 

 are filed in alphabetical 

 order by towns between 

 state guide cards. No 

 house not in good com- 

 mercial 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 and 



quick reference roster of the hardwood requirements of the country, and is an invaluable adjunct 

 to the sales department of every manufacturer and jobber. This service is free to all advertis- 

 ers, save the cards, the cost of which is nominal. The Record system is now used by more 

 than 150 manufacturers and jobbers. Let us put you next to a good thing.
