WHY THIS TRADE-MARK MEANS A NEW 

 SERVICE IN THE LUMBER BUSINESS 



IN nearly everything we buy or use we 

 have become accustomed to look for a 

 standard article of known merit. 



We want to know where it comes from, 

 who is back of it, what can be expected of 

 it, and how it compares in quality and 

 price with similar merchandise sold for a 

 like purpose. 



This is a busy world. We cannot take the 

 time to learn solely by our mistakes; we 

 may learn too late. 



We cannot wait to test every coin we accept 

 in payment for goods or services. So we have 

 a standard currency the Government's 

 stamp or trade-mark to certify its worth. 



For like reasons we insist on products 

 with the stamp or trade-mark of responsible 

 manufacturers to assure us the value we 

 pay for. 



Some of these makers' stamps are almost 

 as dependable as the mint-mark on a coin. 



Yet when it comes to lumber most of us 

 know very little about it; what species or 

 grade of wood is best for the purpose we 

 have in mind, where it comes from, who 

 manufactures it. 



As substantial factors in the lumber busi- 

 ness, the Weyerhaeuser people want you to 

 think more about the wood you use. To this 

 end they will supply to lumber dealers and 

 to the public any desired information as to 

 the qualities of different species and the 

 best wood for a given purpose. 



This service will be as broad and impartial 

 as they know how to make it. They are not 

 partisans of any particular species of wood. 

 They advise the best lumber for the purpose, 

 whether it is a kind they handle or not. 



What they advocate is conservation and 

 economy through the use of the right wood 

 in its proper place. 



From now on the Weyerhaeuser Forest 

 Products trade-mark will be plainly stamped 

 on their product. You can see it for your- 

 self at the lumber yard or on the job after 

 it is delivered. 



When you buy lumber for any purpose, no 

 matter how much or how little, you can look 

 at the mark and know that you are getting 

 a standard article of known merit.
