y. „.„.. DO YOU SEE THAT WORD HANCHETT? 



n^^sSHSjX"^ Well, that is our Trade Mark. You will find it stamped on all our Swage and 



Shaper parts, and on our tools and machinery, too. It means quality and efficiency and 



our unqualified guarantee. We believe our filing room equipment is a little better than any other make, and 



we have found out that we have had to protect it. Others also have a lot of faith in our machinery, too ; 



for we are equipping most of the new big mills that are being erected. 



In fact, we have secured the biggest contracts for filing room equipment ever placed in a filing room. We are always 

 glad to send out our machines on approval, to be returned at our expense if not found a little better than any other make.

WHO BUYS HARDWOODS? 



Do You Want the List? 



The Hardwoua 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 oi state and town 

 Name of concern 

 Name of buyer 

 Line manufactured 



Kinds, grades and thicknesses of Lumber 

 Kinds and sizes of dimension 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 corresponding to 

 the kinds of lumber not used are removed, and the carcli 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 hirdwood 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.
