Learn the Facts for
Your Own Profit

1t will profit directly every man
and woman to learn the facts about
lumber--its cost. its adaptability and
its intelligent use. The Forest Ser
vice report has spoken the last word
and we invite your critical examina-
tion OF the facts and figures as set out
in the center of this page. 1t has re-
mained for the National Government
to prove to you the utter untruth and
insinuations concerning a Lumber
Trust; that on the contrary, COM
petition has been so keen that these
products have been marketed at a
small profit, and frequently at q loss

recent years past. The Government
did not compel or demand of the man.
ufacturers or retailers of lumber that
they furnish information for the For
est Service report herein quoted. On
the contrary, they requested 1t, and
the Government officials we're over
whelmed with offers of the lumber
men to furnish information. The
lumbermen were more than gratif1ed
that the Government intended to pub
lish the facts about the lumber in
dustry. A volume has been compiled.
and some OF the essential facts are
set out in the center Of this page. We
ask OF you your candid judgment.
You have been led to believe that ev-
cry time you went to local lumber
yard you paid an exhorbitant price.
Do you believe 1t Is possible to as
semble lumber, in your community
from the South, North and West and
distribute 1t to the consumer, from
O fence picket to house or barn bill,
at q lower cost to do business, or at a
less profit? We believe the consumer
never objects to paying fair and
reasonable profit on what he buys
when he knows 1t. You now have
the unbiased facts and statement OF
the Federal Government, and 1t Is
herewith submitted to you with the
belief that it will be accepted as the
truth, which 1t Is.
