Thousands Are Saving $200 to $1,000 by Buying Direct Front Mill 
From every state in the Union—and almost from 
every county—come letters from delighted Gordon- 
Van Tine customers. 
‘‘All I expected and more—saved 20%” says Geo. Squirs, 
Missouri. “Saved $600 to $1,000”—Dr. L. E. Lee, Kansas. 
“Saved fully $1,500”—W. R. Gillespie, Ohio. “My savings 
were $550 ”—A. L. Trimble, Nebraska. “Saved $38.95 on 1,000 
ft. oak flooring”—E. Johnson, S. Dakota. “No. 1 quality—well 
pleased”—A. L. Peterson, Iowa. 
Such is the universal verdict from over 200,000 thrifty home 
and barn builders. 
They know that Gordon-Van Tine delivers bigger value and 
at lower cost than can be obtained anywhere else in the country. 
We cut out all in-between profits because we ship direct to 
you from our four big mills—give you the benefits of volume 
operation —and sell at prices that are actually wholesale. 
Frequently this means savings of 20% to 50%. And you get 
highest quality material, covered by a 20-year guarantee 
that has $1,000,000 resources behind it!

antee on your home. Over

The 4 Reasons Why We Save You Money 
I You deal direct with the man- 
• ufacturer—our prices are based 
on production cost, plus one small 
profit. We ship direct from our own 
mills to your railroad station. 
2 We share with you the savings 
• made in buying and manufac¬ 
turing due to our large volume of 
business. 
3 We sell only for cash. There 
• are no bad debts or long-time 
credits to add to your costs. 
4 The Gordon-Van Tine Ready- 
• Cut system gives you all sav¬ 
ings of machine labor over hand 
labor and does not restrict the type 
of house. 
While Ready-Cut saves you money, if you don’t see the build¬

plan you have in mind. We will figure them free, and give
