Lumber & Building tviateriaii 
100,000,000 feet of Lumber for sale. THINK OF IT. Tbe Chicago 
House Wrecking Co. offers you an opportunity to buy Lumber and 
Building Material today at prices at least 50 per cent below what 
you could purchase it for a year ago. We can do it because we buy 
in such enormous quantities direct from the saw mill that we are 
able to control their output; we are also continually buying at Forced 
Sales. The Lumber we’re offering consists of the very highest grades 
manufactured. Nothing “WRECKED” about it but the prices. It is 
clean stock and as good or better than your local dealer sells. We 
have Lumber of every kind. Lumber for your house or your barn, 
your church, meeting house or building of any kind. 
Never again will Lumber be offered at the low price we are sell¬ 
ing it for today. This is not an idle statement. It is made after the 
most careful thought. Every year the supply is diminishing and the 
manufacturers must get more money for it, but we say to you that if 
you are ready to buy now, you can save from 30 to 60 per cent. 
That’s what thousands of people know us as. 
And there’s merit to it. We buy . our goods at 
Sheriffs’ Sales, Receivers’ Sales and Manu¬ 
facturers’ Sales, and in fact from every source 
that gives us a chance to be below the market. 
We don’t buy trashy goods. Our stock consists 
of millions of dollars worth of high-grade 
manufactured articles which we can sell at 
prices 30 to 60 per cent less than any other 
merchant in the world and the goods will be 
"right" in every way. Our enormous business 
and the wonderful institution we conduct gives 
us an advantage over the ordinary merchant. 
Our wonderful Furniture Catalog containing hundreds of pages of 
genuine bargains with beautiful illustrations in natural color effects 
is sent free on application. 10,000 bargains representing high-grade, 
brand new Furniture, Carpets, Rugs, Linoleum, Stoves, Office Fix¬ 
tures and General Supplies. Bargains from Forced Sales of every 
kind, and nothing of the shoddy nature about the goods, either. Not 
the kind you would buy from the regular run of merchandise houses, 
but the sort of good furniture that is built “for keeps.” Manufactured 
for city trade and now offered to you at as low a price as you can 
buy it if you were right in Chicago at our warehouse. This is n 
chance you must duly appreciate. We can supply your home com¬ 
plete, and we will do it at money-saving prices in every instance. 
You can buy every article you need to furnish your home. 
Every article is covered by a guarantee so broad that you cannot go 
wrong. Favor us with your order. Write for our wonderful Bargain 
Catalog and let’s convince you our prices are right. Write us today.
