F OR the exposed 
covering of a 
house no other wood 
so successfully with¬ 
stands the ravages of 
time and weather as 
White Pine 
And figuring value in 
terms of service it is the 
most economical. 
White Pine does not shrink, 
swell, crack, twist, warp or 
rot — and once in place it 
“stays put,” after years of 
exposure, even in close fitting 
mitres and in delicate mould¬ 
ings and carvings. It takes 
paints and stains perfectly. 
“White Pine in Home-Building” 
is beautifully illustrated and full 
of valuable information and sug¬ 
gestions on home-building. Send 
today for this booklet—free to 
all prospective home-builders. 
“Helen Speer’s Book of Chil¬ 
dren’s Toys and Furniture”—

pared by Helen Speer, the toy 
expert. If there are children in 
your home, sent free on request.
