A general view of the seasoning and storage facilities of the SnoQualmie Falls Lumber Company, one of the fifteen complete Weyerhaeuser manufacturing units 



LUMBER- 



T^hat Adually Meets the Requirements 



THE ^rowio j success of 

 Weyerhaeuser lumber for in- 

 dustrial use is due largely to the 

 thorough and exact seasoning 

 process to which the lumber is 

 subjected not one process for 

 the entire lumber output, but a 

 distinct method of seasoning for 

 each species, type and size of 

 wood. 



The Weyerhaeuser mills have kept 

 apace with the progress made in practical 

 wood seasoning by dry kilns. They have 

 done extensive research work, adapted 

 old processes and developed new ones. 

 They have long realized that the science 

 of wood seasoning properly applied is a 

 saving to the purchaser. It gives a wood 

 easy to work, with little wastage and 

 with a prolonged life. 



The illustration above shows loaded 

 cars at the entrance to the kilns of the 

 Snoqualmie Falls Lumber Company. 

 Note the even stacking and the precau- 

 tion to secure the load to prevent twisting 

 and warping during processing. Stickers 

 are inserted between courses of boards 

 to allow even circulation and drying. 



Each charge is tested in the kiln labo- 

 ratory many times during the processing 

 which forestalls over drying and other 

 faults. When the lumber leaves the kiln 

 it meets with the high standards set by 

 the Weyerhaeuser organization for all 

 its products. 



MANY concerns have for 

 years been looking for an 

 organization that could and 

 would relieve them of their 

 lumber buying worries; an or- 

 ganization that could look at 

 lumber from their point of view. 



That is just what the Weyer- 

 haeuser organization is doing 

 for a great many industrial con- 

 cerns today. It is prepared to 

 deliver to industrial buyers a 

 dependable lumber service, which 

 means far more than the routine 

 of shipping an occasional car of 

 boards. 



The Weyerhaeuser organi- 

 zation has for years studied in- 

 dustrial lumber needs. It has 

 found that the best way to serve 

 American Industry is to have 

 ready at all times for a group of 

 permanent customers the exact 

 type of lumber in the correct 

 grade, size and quantity they 

 desire. 



Such a service has its begin- 

 ning way back in the forests, 

 where trees that yield particular 

 types of lumber that fit specific 

 requirements, are marked for 

 special cutting. Close grained, 

 slow growth, even textured, 

 cork-like White Pine logs, for 

 example, are set aside for pat- 

 tern stock. The same careful 

 selection is practiced for all of 

 the varied softwood require- 

 ments of industry. 



Such painstaking efforts to 

 serve industry are made possi- 

 ble through utilization of the 

 vast resources and specialized 

 equipmentof the Weyerhaeuser 

 organization. 



A large timber supply of fifteen 

 different species, and many types 

 within these species, suiHcient for 

 decades of cutting. 



Scores of logging camps guaran- 

 teeing a steady stream of suitable 

 raw material. 



Fifteen complete modern manu- 

 facturing units. 



Seasoning processes that pre- 

 pare lumber scientifically foreach 

 exacting need. 



Distributingfacilities backed by 

 fifteen immense mill stocks and 

 two great strategically located dis- 

 tributing plants. 



A corps of salesmen trained to 

 think as purchasing agents and 

 buyers have wished for lumber 

 sellers to think. 



EACH year more and more 

 concerns realize what this 

 type of lumber service means. 

 The Weyerhaeuser Sales 

 Company distributes Weyer- 

 haeuser Forest Products 

 through the established trade 

 channels. Its principal office is 

 in Spokane, Washington, with 

 branch offices at 208 So. La Salle 

 St., Chicago; 220 Broadway, 

 New York; Lexington Bldg., 

 Baltimore; and 4th and Robert 

 Sts., St. Paul; and with repre- 

 sentatives throughout the 

 country.
