A ll woods have certain uses for which 
they are especially adapted by reason 
of the peculiar qualities and character¬ 
istics which nature has given them; and 
on their proper selection for these uses 
hinges the whole problem of economy in 
wood construction. 
Three centuries of experience in this country 
have demonstrated that no other wood lasts as 
long or gives such satisfactory service as 
White Pine 
for outside finish lumber—siding and corner boards; 
window sash, frames and casings; outside doors, door 
frames and casings; outside blinds; all exposed porch 
and balcony lumber; cornices, boards, brackets, orna¬ 
ments and mouldings; and other outside requirements, 
not including shingles. 
If your lumber dealer is unable to supply White Pine, 
we should appreciate the opportunity of being helpful 
to you in securing it. 
“White Pine in Home-Building” is beautifully illustrated and 
full of valuable information and suggestions on home-building. 
Send today for this booklet—free to all prospective home-builders.

From out of the 
Depths of the Earth 
B ack in the darkest ages, 
when mountains moved, 
forests fell and lakes were lost in 
a day, the making of Vermont Sea 
Green Slate was begun. Millions 
of tons of earth have jammed it 
full of tensile strength and hard¬ 
ness. That’s why it is best for 
roofing. 
VERMONT 
Sea Green Slate 
is richly colored—a deep green which 
enriches with exposure. It’s just as 
Nature made it—-cleft, cut and ready 
for your roof. Costs no more than 
other roofs and lasts for generations. 
Roof with Vermont Sea Green Slate. 
It will beautify your home, reduce 
fire insurance and banish repairs and 
paint. 
Send for our book, “For the Gen¬ 
erations to Come.” It tells you more 
about this roof of Nature ; shows you 
how it’s laid, what it costs and how 
it looks. 
The Vermont Slate Manufacturers’ 
Publicity Bureau is a group of men 
who know roofs from start to finish. 
They’re ready to advise you aboutyaar 
roof. Ask them

is free, of course.
