is THE
First Consideration
WITH US

With mill cutting our own timber in the
that experience has taught is best suit
ed for farm buildings and Improvements, as well as
the demands OF our customers, will be in better
position this season than before supply your
wants. We have just completed logging million feet
of as fine timber as is to be had on the mountain.
Magnificent Yellow Pine trees three feet and more in
diameter-veritable giants of the forest About the
first of next month shall take the first step toward
converting these logs into lumber be used in build
ing Modern and Happy homes Surely they will
se1ve noble purpose. We offer you this product as
the of perfect manufacture and adapabty for
the purpose that it will be worked into and prices
that have been current for several years. If you con-
template building you will this with considerable
satisfaction.
Manufacturing lumber is not process of
ripping up logs and knocking the bark off the edges
but it means intelligent handling of each individual
log, saving each into the kind for which it is best
adapted The evolution of a saw log into finished
product is fascinating and aluring far its physo
logical effects concerned, but it has relation to
getting out the and the best there is in it. Dis
cretion vigilence and training necessary to this
end.
The finest logs may be ruined by uneven cut
ting due to poor machinery, it may be ruined by
cutting it for purpose to which it is not adapted
From the time log is rolled onto the carriage until
the product nailed up building, every handling
every time it is turned it is with the object of
tablishing its true grade inspecting it place it
where it belongs. The head-sawyer must use his dis
cretion when and where he takes off the first sab then
to the proper thickness cut the boards how far
to cut before turning, ETC., really of grading
The boards are then delivered to the edgerman who
has tour saws to take of and who take the
bark off the edges and rip the board the proper
widths; maybe making three four boards or leaving
it the full width his discretion Dictates really mat
ter of inspecting and grading. Here above any other
place in the MILL takes vigilence and training. The
boards being then in their first finished state are sort
ed be placed in the piles of their respective grades
where they left until dry enough for planning. A
gain, it matter of grading. 1t is graded again
before it is paned because lumber depreciates by sea-
Sonng and defects more visible 1t is graded by
the men who bring it into the planning mill, again by
the feeding the machine, by the man who trims
and squares the ends and again by the who ties
it into bundles. Everytime handled was close
ly inspected, not with view of placing in the highest
grade possible, but make it did contain de-
fects that would admit it the grade and kind for
which it intended Not all mills grade with this
end in view Some grade every piece as high as pos
sibe, with the result that their grades contain whole
lot of lumber that should have been in the next lower
grade You will readily perceive that there is likely
to be quite difference between the two grades when
graded with the two different ideals as basis.
But all the claims we can make will not be as
strong your personal inspection of the material it
SELF We believe it is the highest quality--we aim to
make it stalking reputation and future
that it is the highest. But ask you-the purchaser
to for yourself. Comparisons mighty useful
to the man who is buying and, we who SELL welcome
them.
