Q. I hear a great deal about smoothly machitied woodwork. Why is it necessary 

 to have it so smooth ? 



A. Smooth machine work on greenhouse material is of the utmost importance. It requires less 

 paint for smooth lumber than it does for rough, and you can do a better job. The surface will 

 resist moisture better when it is smooth. The drip grooves in the bars oaf ry condensation better. 

 Smooth lumber can be cut and fitted more accurately. It is nicer to handle. It makes a better appear- 

 ance. It lasts longer because better painted and protected. Surface collects less dirt and smudge. 



Q. Does it cost more to get out smooth cypress ? 



A. Yes.

Q. Why? 



A. Machines must be run at slower speed, thus cutting down the number of feet of an article that 

 can be produced in a given time. Every piece of lumber must be carefully looked over to detect cross 

 grain or stuff that will flake in the machines. This takes time. Often when the grain is bad, lumber 

 must be thrown aside and used for something where there is little or no machine work needed. 



Q. Is your cypress woodwork smooth ? 



A. It is smooth and perfectly machined in every way. It is the easiest woodwork to paint that you 

 ever saw. You ought to try this perfect product.
