The Chicago House Wrecking Company offers the most'wonderful opportunity ever heard of to furnish you lum¬ 
ber and building supplies of every kind at prices that will save you big money. Such an opportunity as this seldom occurs. 
We have lumber for your house, church, barn, meeting house, cribs, stores, factories and 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 
in this same car, such as Pipe, Plumbing Mater¬ 
ial and Merchandise of every kind. Roofing, 
Wire, Fencing, Furniture and Hardware.

50,000,000 Feet of all kinds of Lumber and Finish¬ 
ing Material. We are making special concessions 
to those who will buy at once. Even if you 
have no use for this lumber at once, it will pay 
you to buy now. We cheerfully invite inspection 
of our Lumber Stock and will be glad to have you 
come direct to our warehouse and yards at Chicago, 
see the lumber we are offering, and you will recog¬ 
nize that it is all we say of it; make your own sel¬ 
ection and see it loaded. It is not necessary how¬ 
ever to come to Chicago; we sell you by mail very 
easily and will have no trouble to convince you of 
the desirability of placing an order with us. Just

Show You.” On application we will send copies
