Bringing Out the Facts
' We want to make it as strong as we know
how
That we will give youbetter Lumber
at the same price or equal grades at
a lower price than elsewhere.
We believe first in giving the best lumber
that money can buy and then in making the
price as low as possible for that kind of lum-
ber. And still we defy you to find lower
prices than our
dissatisfied it's vour
own fault because we do our level best to
please every customer who buys building
material here even to giving him the best
stock and the lowest prices.
