We are operating our Tannery and
Extract Plant at full capacity and we
are in the market for a continuous
supply of Chestnut Extract Wood.
The present price of Six Dollars per
cord is guaranteed until July LIST, 1923,
for good merchantable extract wood
delivered at our Tannery on wagons
or loaded OH cars in full carloads at
your shipping station.
This is the season of the year when
people should cut their Extract Wood
and pile it along the wagon roads, to
be hauled later after the days are
longer and the roads are in better con-
dition. You can haul large load and
haul it more easily than you can while
the wood is green and the roads muddy.
Much of the Chestnut in this part of
Virginia is dying and it is not certain
how long this "Blighted Wood" will
be suitable for making Extract
We suggest that you cut and market
this blighted wood as soon as possible.
The wood should be cut 5 feet long,
but we will take four foot wood. Do
not cut it by guess, but have yonr
wood uniform in length so. it can be
properly measured.
