Every  Gordon-Van  Tine  Building 
Shows  Similar  Reductions! 
You  Trade  Even  When 
You  Buy  From  Us! 
A  bushel  of  wheat  or  corn  will  buy  more  value  from  Gordon- 
Van  Tine  than  from  any  other  lumber  concern  in  America 
For  six  months,  Gordon-Van  Tine 
have  stood  practically  alone  in  thetfght 
against  high  prices  of  building  material. 
Instead  of  raising  prices  we  have  put 
them  down  so  that  your  farm  products 
are  really  worth  100c  on  the  dollar  when 
compared  with  Gordon-Van  Tine  homes, 
barns  and  material. 
You  are  always  sure  of  getting  full 
value  and  heaping  over  when  you  buy 
here.  We  trade  even !  200,000  customers 
make  it  possible.  Because  of  the  enor¬ 
mous  volume  we  do,  we  have  our  own 
mills  in  the  heaviest  timber  sections; 
we  ship  by  the  train-load;  we  cut  ma¬ 
terial  for  a  hundred  houses  or  barns  at 
a  time;  we  cut  corners  and  save  ex¬ 
penses  in  a  manner  impossible  to  lesser 
concerns. 
Is  it  any  wonder  that  we  can  and  do 
sell  for  less  than  many  a  lumber-yard 
buys  for?  Our  prices  are  based  on  pro¬ 
duction  costs,  plus  only  one  small 
profit.  You  save  a  dozen  times  over. 
Right  now  we  are  quoting  unbeliev¬ 
ably  low  figures.  Write  us  what  you 
are  going  to  build  and  get  our  whole¬ 
sale  freight-paid  prices!
