IN lumber manufacturing plants it is 
the Grader who has the last word in 
determining quality. Every board and 
timber must pass before his eyes and 
the grade mark he puts upon them is 
based solely upon the established 
grading rules that govern him. Skill, 
intelligence and pains-taking care he 
must have but, most of all, he must 
for only practice 
have experience 
makes perfect. In its thirty years of 
lumber making The Long-Bell Lumber 
Company has developed graders of 
good judgment and to them can be 
traced directly the chief reason for the 
uniform quality of Long-Bell lumber. 
That the consumer may be positively 
assured of obtaining lumber that has 
passed the inspection of these trained 
men it is branded with this trade 
marked name:
