Saved Me $500- is!*** 
Let Us Give You Wholesale 
Prices oit YOUR Building! 
Thousands Are Saving $200 to $1,000 by Buying Direct From Mill 
From every state in the Union—and almost from 
every county—come letters from delighted Gordon- 
Van Tine customers. 
“Saved at least $2,000 on my home”—H. S. Whidden, Mich. 
“Better than I could buy here for the price, including freight”— 
Mrs. B. Loring, Penn. “Saved fully $1,500”—W. R. Gillespie, 
Ohio. “Better material than we can get locally” — E. C. 
Boynton, New York. 
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! 
Build Ready-Cut, or Let Us Figure Your Lumber Bills 
You can choose from 200 home plans and 654 sizes and kinds 
of farm buildings just the type of home, barn or other building 
you want. Ready-Cut saves you 18% lumber waste and up to 
30% labor on the job. 
While Ready-Cut saves you money, if you don’t see the build¬ 
ing you want in our catalogs, send us your lumber bills on the 
plan you have in mind. We will figure them free, and give 
you lowest wholesale prices.
