Chestnut Wood
Needed In War
Used I'm Tanning OF Leather
For Shoes For Men In
Service

Because tits war need-and i
is a need, for the Army boys will
not carry a gun far unless they
have shoes to wear and that is
why Chestnut wood, this old, dead
chestnut wood, is one of the es-
sential war needs today, and to
meet this need a ceiling cash price
of $10.50 per cord unit has been
fixed by our government as pay
ment for this wood delivered to
the mill of Wilkes Extract Works
at North Wilkesboro, N. c., where
it is used to make tanning ma
terial for sole leather for army
shoes, and other folks will be
needing shoes again some of these
days. And the more dead chestnut
wood that can be put to the mill,
the more leather we will have to
make shoes with.
Lumber is also a war need and
being produced in large quantities
but not being used for home
building, and when the war is
over there will be a lumber mar
ket years to come for home use,
but not so with chestnut wood.
No market for that then. What
you will have will be the insight
ly dead chestnut wood as fire
menace to your other land. So get
this wood to market now and get
your money for it while it can be
used by the Wilkes Extract Works,
