Don't be deceived by statements to the effect
that you pay four or five profits when you buy
lumber from retailers. Most large mills have
their own selling force and sell their lumber
to the retailer direct. Many smaller mills
which cannot maintain their selling force
sell their entire output to the wholesaler. who
sells ii to the retailer in competition with the
large manufacturer who sells his own lumber
through his office. The large manufac-
turer and the wholesaler active competitors
for the retail trade. Low price and good quail

sembles it in his yard in CARROTS and distrib-

to the manufacturer. Lumber is heavy,
bulky and comparatively cheap product.
Freight adds largely to the cost for even
a short haul. You cannot ship it twice any

which our fathers knew nothing. When your
father built the house in which you were born
he not only did not include these now con-
sidered necessities, he absolutely knew moth
ing about them. Instead of adding these to
the cost, and making them a part of the
house, he went to the hardware and furniture
stores and bought his heating plant in the
form of stoves his lighting plant in the form
of coal oil lamp, and his closets and pantries
in the shape of wardrobes and kitchen cab
inets. There time when most people
slept in the house and had the bath room in
