Women Win AS
Home Builders

on the general principle that it
takes woman to do we'll the
thing that a man knows all
about. However, the making OF
q real home Is second nature
with most women and for that
reason they should be consulted
pretty freely about the plans for
the house. When it comes to
lumber we find the women are
extremely keen on the satin fin.
ish and smooth surface stuff.
Guess they know that this kind
Of lumber is going to save a
heap of money in the actual
work Of building because it
won't need any planning or sand
papering by carpenters. We're
strong on that very thing our
selves and the mills we buy Of
lay particular stress on the high
grade quality, bright color and
natural grain of the Finish,
Flooring, Ceiling, Siding, Case.
Base, etc. Come in and see
this for yourself.
