that the average home today con-

parts of our country. Lumber

consumption to. be economically
distributed. The retailer assem-
bles it in his yard in CARROTS and
distributes it to his customers He
can buy in CARROTS as cheap as the
cheapest. He buys it direct from
the manufacturer. He only pays
one freight and one profit (your
information to the contrary not
withstanding) and that to the
manufacturer. Lumber is a heavy,
bulky and comparatively cheap
product.
Freight adds largely to the cost
for even a short haul. You cannot
ship it twice any more than you can
ship coal twice and distribute It
economically.

WHY HOUSES COST MORE

recent comparison made between
the present cost of a modern home and
the cost Of that same home had it been
erected without modern improvements
and conveniences, shows the following
result:
The present cost Of this modern sew

crete floor, hot water heat, sewers, gas.
water and electric light connections and
fixtures, paving, bath room and fixtures,
closets, etc., ETC., were $1,550.00 OF this
cost, which shows that In order to in
stall these modern improvements 80 per
cent was added to the first cost of this
house, and that A per cent of the total
cost of this modern house was in i'm
provements and conveniences, very lit

HOW LUMBER IS
DISTRIBUTED

Remember 80 per cent of all of
the lumber sold in the average
community is sold in wagon loads
or less, not in CARROTS. 1t is posi-
BILE for lumber yard to do fair
amount of business and not sell as
much as a carload to any one con-
sumner in a whole year. If it were
possible for all consumers Of lum-
Der (Which it is not) to buy it in
straight CARROTS it would cost less

matter of fact, but not 10 per cent

LEARN THE. FACTS FOR
YOUR OWN PROFIT

It, will profit directly every man
and woman to learn the facts about
lumber-its cost, its adaptability
and it's intelligent use. The Forest
Service report has spoken the last
word and we invite your critical
examination of the facts and fig
ures as set out in the center of this
page. 1t has remained for the Ma
tional Government to prove to you
the utter untruth and insinua-
lions concerning L u m r
Trust; that on the contrary, COM
petition has been so keen that
these products have been market
ed at small profit, and frequently
at loss during greater part of
the time in recent years past. The
Government did not compel or de-
mand of the manufacturers or re-
tailers of lumber that they furnish
information for the Forest Service
report herein quoted. On the con-
trary, they requested it, and the
Government officials were over
whelmed with offers of the lumber
men to furnish information. The
lumbermen were more than graft
fled that the Government intended
to publish the facts about the Lum-
Der industry. 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 every time you
went to a local lumber yard you
paid an exorbitant price. Do you
believe it is possible to assemble
lumber, in your community from
the South, North and West and dis
tribute it to the consumer, from a
fence picket to a house or barn bill
at lower cost to do business, or at
a less profit? We believe the con-
sumner never objects to paying a
fair and reasonable profit on what
he buys when he knows it. You
now have the unbiased facts and
statement Of the Federal Govern
ment, and it is herewith submitted
to you with the belief that it will
be accepted as the truth, which
it is.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY

All the consumers of lumber In the
Missouri and Mississippi Valleys have
greater choice of building woods than in
any other section of our country. They
also enjoy greater competitive condf-
lions among these several woods. and
difference of two to five cents in the
freight rate often determines the species
of wood used or sold.
