U. S. Government Report 



(Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service, Bulletin 95,) 

 issued June 30, 1911, says of 



CYPRESS: 



"AS SIDING IT 

 PRACTICALLY 

 WEARS OUT 

 BEFORE IT 



D E CAYS." ( 



From page 44. 

 U. S. Government 

 Bulletin 95. 



) 



Same report says "CYPRESS shows paint well and holds it for many years, but lasts a long time without It." 



{You know the conservatism of Government Reports.) 



Here's a photograph (straight from 

 the wood) of a piece of Cypress Siding 

 taken from St. Charles College, La., 

 duly attested in writing by the presi- 

 dent, Father Maring. Built 1819 — 

 Torn down 1910. NOT A TRACE OF 

 ROT. Note that the lower or exposed 

 edge, originally the thicker, has be- 

 come the thinner by the simple 

 erosion of nearly a century of rains. 



CYPRESS SIDING SOUND AS 

 A DOLLAR after withstanding 

 the tempests of a century and willing 

 to start again ! 91 YEARS "ON THE 

 JOB, "WITHOUT EVEN PAINTING. 

 on a church in use till the day it was 

 razed to make room for a larger 

 building.and the CYPRESS LUMBER
