HOW THE TAXPAYER BENEFITS BY THIS
EXPERT LUMBER SERVICE
ALL along the Atlantic Coast there are il summer resorts with miles and miles of boardwalk, trodden by millions of feet and drenched with surf and sea fog.
Some of these boardwalks have been in service for 25 years, and are still sound and whole. The right wood in its proper place.
Others have been replaced every few years. The wrong wood for the purpose; or the right wood wrongly specified.
A good example of the need for an expert lumber service.
*
America uses more wood per capita than any other country in the world.
As in the past, so in the future, much of the development of the Nation depends on its lumber supply.
The typical citizen is accustomed to lumber. He naturally takes it for granted he knows all about it.
It will pay him, both in his private interests and as a taxpayer to check over what he really does know about choosing the most practical wood for a specific service!
It is something of a shock to the man who thinks of lumber vaguely in terms of “a nice clear hoard” to come face to face with questions about the specific quality of the various kinds of wood.
Which is best for strength? Which for exposure to weather? Which for interior trim?
Far-reaching questions—make no mistake about that!
Detailed, scientific knowledge of the species of lumber, their characteristics and
availabilities, means durable and economical building today.
More than that, it means ample supply of lumber, present and future, for all essential needs—conservation and economy through the use of the right wood in its proper place.
This knowledge can be had by any lumber purchaser who wants to make use of it.
As substantial factors in the lumber business, the Weyerhaeuser people want to put at your service the results of their experience and investigations covering many years.
To this end we will supply to lumber dealers and to the public, any desired information as to the quality of the different species and the best wood for a given purpose.
This service will be as broad and impartial as we know how to make it. We are not partisans of any particular species of wood. We advise the best lumber for the purpose, whether we handle it or not.
From now on the Weyerhaeuser Forest Products trade-mark will he plainly stamped on our product.
When you buy lumber for any purpose, no matter how much or how little, you can look at the mark and know that you are getting a standard article of known merit.
Weyerhaeuser Forest Products are distributed through the established trade channels by the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, Spokane, Washington, with branch offices and representatives throughout the country.
