Title: For home lovers
Description: <div>Paperback booklet with cream-colored covers, originally held together with two staples along the left side. The staples are missing now, leaving a "rust-print" behind, and the cover is completely loose from the pages. The front cover has a large, vertical, dark rectangle that says "for Home Lovers" written in white at the bottom of the dark color. The top of the dark rectangle shows an illustration of a home in the shadows of night with lights on in their windows. The steps leading up to the house, and some of the shrubbery, is also highlighted in the image. Underneath the dark rectangle, on the cream-colored cover, in dark ink it says, "National Lumber Manufacturers Association." The back cover is blank except for the following quote from an unknown source in the center: "Everyone loves a home; everyone loves trees. The mature tree ready for harvesting is not allowed to die and waste, but is converted into lumber from which homes are built. Young growing trees, stately trees, thn  the completed home of wood - a cycle of cooperation between man and nature - true conservation of America's only renewable natural resource." The interior pages are mostly black and white illustrations, but there are occasional spots of color given to roofs, or yards, or sky. 32 plates. Size: 8.5" x 11"</div><div><br /></div><div>**The National Lumber Manufacturers Association was a federation of regional
 associations, formed in 1902 to provide a national association to 
represent the forest and building products industries. By 1909 it had 
grown to include a dozen regional associations representing some of the 
most powerful lumber manufacturers in the country.  The association had 
some common membership with another national lumber association, the 
American Paper Institute, which represented pulp, paper, and paperboard 
manufacturers. 
In 1965 the National Lumber Manufacturers Association was renamed the 
National Forest Products Association.  In 1993 the American Forest and 
Paper Association was formed to represent the interests of both the 
National Forest Products Association and the American Paper Institute in
 one national trade association on behalf of the U.S. forest products 
industry.</div><div>https://www.historylink.org/File/8866</div>
