HE WHO USES CYPRESS BUILDS BUT ONCE 



CYPRESS 



^r# 



THE WOOD ETERNAL 



so MANY PEOPLE KNOW 

 so little about w<oods 



(and their relative values — Hov? is it with you.') 



SO MANY PEOPLE THINK 



that "LUMBER IS LUMBER"— (How often do YOU 

 specify the kind of wood you want used by your builder?) 



SO MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE 



that frequent Repair Bills are "Necessary Evils" — 

 that we believe we are doing a public service in informing you and other intelligent people on 



HERE IS CYPRESS VS. AN IRON PLUG: 



About 110 years ago, when Louisiana was a French 

 Province, the Water Mains of New Orleans were 

 CYPRESS logs, 18 feet long by 22 inches diameter, 

 with a 5-inch hole bored lengthwise. These were 

 joined by short iron tubes, tapered at both ends. A 

 few years ago these were replaced by the most modem 

 system. Below is a photograph of a section of one 

 of the CYPRESS mains just as it was dug up — as sound 

 as ever after 100 years' contact with wet earth 



Below is a photograph 

 of one of the iron con- 

 nections just as dug up 

 — most of them rusted 

 past all usefulness. 



HERE IS CYPRESS VS. WEATHER: 



A photograph of a CYPRESS SHINGLE 

 from the Austen Homestead, Staten Island, N.Y. 

 built in 1710, and at last accounts still occu- 

 pied by descendants of its original builders, with 

 the original CYPRESS roof practically intact. 



"He who uses CYPRESS builds but once. " 





'-^ ' 



CYPRESS is in truth ' 'the wood eternal. ' ' If you are putting up a palace or a 

 pasture-fence, and want to build it "FOR KEEPS"— USE CYPRESS. 



There is going to be a liberal education (and a wonderful INVESTMENT value for you) in this 

 CYPRESS advertising — and in the detailed information and reliable counsel to be had promptly 

 WITHOUT COST, if you will IVRITE US YOUR OWN NEEDS (big or little), and ASK TOUR 

 OWN QUESTIONS of the "ALL-ROUND HELPS DEPARTMENT" of the 



SOUTHERN CYPRESS MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION 



I299HIBERNIA BANK BUILDING, NEW ORLEANS, LA. 



Probably your lumber man sells CYPRESS; if not, WRITE US, and lue nvill tell you the dealer handiest to you. 



The New Way-
