HE WHO USES CYPRESS BUILDS BUT ONCE 
WOOD 
ETERNAL 
SO MANY PEOPLE KNOW 
so little about woods 
(and their relative values-—How is it with you?) 
SO MANY PEOPLE THINK 
that “LUMBER IS LUMBER”—(How often do YOU 
specify the kind of wood you want used by your builder?) 
SO MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE 
that frequent Repair Bills are “Necessary Evils ” — 
that we believe we are doing a public service in informing you and other intelligent people on 
("THE WOOD 
HERE IS CYPRESS VS. AN IRON PLUG: 
About 110 years ago, when Louisiana was a French 
Province, the Water Mains of New Orleans were 
CYPRESS logs, 18 feet long by 22 inches diameter, 
with a 5-inch hole bored lengthwise. These were 
joined by short iron tubes, tapered at both ends. A 
few years ago these were replaced by the most modern 
system. Below is a photograph of a section of one 
of the CYPRESS mains just as it was dug up — as sound 
as ever after 100 years’ contact with wet earth. 
Below is a photograph 
of one of the iron con¬ 
nections just as dug up 
— most of them rusted 
past all usefulness.

HERE IS CYPRESS VS. WEATHER: 
A photograph of a CYPRESS SHINGLE 
from the Austen Homestead, Staten Island, N.Y. 
built in 1710, and at last accounts still occu¬ 
pied by descendants of its original builders, with 
the original CYPRESS roof practically intact. 
“He who uses CYPRESS builds but once. ” 
CYPRESS is in truth “the wood eternal.” If you are putting up a palace ora 
pasture-fence, and want to build it “FOR KEEPS” —USE CYPRESS.
