We have lumber for your house, church, barn, meeting house, cribs, stores, factories aud in fact buildings of every kind. We 
can furnish absolutely everything required in construction material. Have your carpenter or builder make up a complete list 
of everything that you may require, including Lumber, Sash, Doors, Nails, Roofing, Siding, Ceiling and every single article. 
Send it to us at once, tell us where you have seen this advertisement, and we will make a proposition that will be a saving of 
from 30 to 60 per cent. This is not an idle statement. Thousands of satisfied customers have bought lumber from us 
in the past. We guarantee absolute satisfaction. We require your good will. Read our guarantee below. 
Lumber From Expositions. We have 
had vast lumber experience. After the World’s 
Fair at Chicago we sold 80,000,000 feet; at the 
Omaha Exposition, 51,000,000 feet; at the Pan- 
American Exposition, 33,000,000. feet, and at the 
St. Louis Exposition over 100,000,000 feet. You will 
miss one of the greatest chances you ever saw if 
you overlook buying your lumber now. Prices 
on lumber are ever advancing. Do not wait for 
them to go down. They never will. If you have 
no need for a carload yourself, get your neigh¬ 
bors to club with you. By buying a carload you 
can save all kinds of money on freight charges. 
We have railroad tracks running through our main 
warehouses and buildings and can load a car to 
good advantage to you. You can include other items
