LUMBER IS BETTER THAN STEEL

A delegation of building engineers, making a survey among the
ruins left in the trail of a recent southern disaster, discovered
and published the fact that WOOD came though the holocaust
better than any other material used in building.

While we are not,in this climate, subject to tornados, the contin-
ual destruction of building materials by the elements, is consider-
able. We claim that our Good Lumber, properly taken from
the tree and processed, will last a lifetime, giving comfort and
beauty not available from any other building material.

WE HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED PRICES ON SEVERAL

OF OUR FIRST-CLASS AND STAPLE LINES OF LUMBER.
