elimination of fire hazard. 
A complete explanation of the illustration above, 
together with other vital information about building a

High Cost of Cheap Construction.” 
The fireplace is one of the essentials of a sound house 
on which the “low-bid” contractor is likely to skimp.

Things You 
Should Know About 
Your Contractor 
O NE important thing every home-builder should 
realize is that his house will be good or cheap, de¬ 
pending on his attitude in selecting his contractor. 
Here in a nutshell is the important consideration in 
choosing your contractor—of far greater consequence 
than mere comparison of bids. Does he use sound con¬ 
struction methods? Or does he vary the quality of 
materials and workmanship to fit the price he feels he 
must set to get the job? If he is of the latter type, you 
will get no more than you pay for—perhaps less. 
You will find that there is a type of contractor, who 
at the risk of losing out, always figures on a first-class 
job. He may not be the highest bidder, nor is he ordina¬ 
rily the lowest. But he will give you a house, every inch 
of it sound, weatherproof, and free from annoyances 
and constant repairs—a house with a low rate of depreci¬ 
ation and a high resale value. Comfortable and satisfac¬ 
tory as long as you live in it. 
This kind of contractor has your interests at heart. In 
the long run he is the cheapest and most satisfactory. 
That is why we say, go to a legitimate contractor. Why 
we have published “The High Cost of Cheap Construc¬ 
tion” referred to on this page. 
Y OU will find this high type of contractor more and 
more demanding lumber of the Weyerhaeuser stand¬ 
ard of quality, trade-marked with the manufacturer’s 
pledge of personal responsibility. 
You will find too, that the dealer from whom he buys 
his lumber knows the value of thoroughly manufactured 
and properly dried lumber; and that he carries in his 
stock Weyerhaeuser lumber of the kinds and grades 
that meet building requirements in your locality most 
economically. 
Weyerhaeuser ForestProducts are distributed through 
the established trade channels (to contractors and home¬ 
builders through the retail lumber yards) by the Weyer¬ 
haeuser Sales Company, Spokane, Washington, with 
branch offices and representatives throughout the 
country.
