1 113,1 to SSCy to you that "our Greenhouse Material is the 



Best," and the ** Only Kind Used By The Best Florists," doesn't prove anything. The fact is 

 that such a statement only goes to prove that it is like every other firm's material and certainly 

 that's no proof for your buying it. Now, when a man says to you that he furnishes you with 

 the very best Cypress, sap free, and all that sort of thing, do you ask him how many feet of 

 this he has air-drying ? Can he prove to you that not a stick of it goes into your greenhouse 

 before it is air-dried fully two years? Does he take this material out of the yard of a lumber 

 company or out of his own yard ? Will the lumber yard company sort the stuff out for him, 

 discarding all sappy piieces, giving him the cream of the lot ? Do you really believe a lumber 

 company does business that way ? Now, here is our point, we control large tracts of lumber 

 lands in the South, cut all our own wood, ship it North in our own vessels, and always have 

 at least five million feet air-drying. Not a stick of this wood goes into your house before it has 

 been air-dried for two years; and that is not all, every piece that comes to the mill is passed on 

 by^our expert, who chalks every sappy spot, be it white or blue sap. All sappy parts are 

 then sawed out and burned up* Now notice the words, "burned up." We do not 

 think it is a fair deal to use any of these sappy pieces in the smaller parts of ventilating sash, 

 or out of sight places. You get just as good wood in these smaller parts as you do in the 

 sashbars.
