NOT LUCK OR "HAPPEN SO" 



mAS BEEN responsible for the remarkable growth of our business 

 and given us so large a number of satisfied customers. It is not 

 the result of getting promiscuous orders here, there, anywhere, 

 anyhow — all profit or no profit at all — it is clearly due to the high qual- 

 ity of our material and the "square deal." Please bear in mind that of 

 the forty years we have been in this business every one has seen an 

 increase of orders. The manufacture of greenhouse material is our 

 whole business — not a side line. We print this in the hope that you will 

 inquire further. Our catalogue will be sent if you are interested.

PECKY CYPRESS. 



John Schillo, president of the Adam 

 Scaillo Lumber Co., Chicago, says the 

 demand for pecky cypress has become 

 something beyond all anticipation. It 

 was only a few years ago that his firm 

 brought from the south the first of this 

 lumber for greenhouse bench material. 

 The growers were slow to take it up be- 

 cause of its ill appearance, but its en- 

 during qualities have been fairly dem- 

 onstrated, and now about all the big 

 growers are using it and many of the 

 smaller ones are building bench bottoms 

 of it. This spring quite a number of 

 buyers were disappointed because they 

 had not realized the necessity of placing 

 advance orders for pecky cypress. One 

 of these was the E. G. Hill Co., which 

 had planned to build of this material 

 all the benches in its big new range. 

 Sixty days being required to get the cy- 

 press, cement was resorted to. 



Mr. Schillo says that growers who 

 know that they will require more or 

 less bench material in the early spring 

 should place their orders now to be sure 

 of getting what they want on time. 

 There is no other use for pecky cypress 

 and no lumber dealer buys any consider- 

 able quantity beyond that necessary to 

 take care of the orders in sight. Then, 

 too, he must place his orders months in 

 advance at the mills. Pecky cypress, 

 like any other cypress, is open-air-dried 

 in the south. The mills do not ship 

 until the weight of the cypress is re- 

 duced to three pounds to the foot, board 

 measure. Not only is this of importance 

 as affecting the quality of the lumber, 

 but it cuts a big figure in freight. The 

 tariff from Louisiana to Chicago is 26

cents per hundred pounds, and under 

 this rule every thousand feet weighs 

 3,000 pounds, and the freight is $7.80 

 per thousand feet, which looks like at 

 least the railroad 's full share in the mar- 

 ket price.

 the time and could not well do without 

 it; here is payment for two years in
