Since 1853
This old gatepost is a good example of the peculiar rot-resisting qualities of Redwood.
Under ground or above ground — wet or dry — seems to make no difference to the lasting quality of Redwood.
Nature has provided this lumber with a preservative that protects it from decay-producing fungi and repels the attacks of insects.
When used as siding, mud sills, foundation posts, porch posts and rails, shingles, pergolas, curbing, for greenhouses, etc., for roof timbers in mills, factories, etc., Redwood remains sound for scores of years. Whenused for making tanks, vats, pipes, silos, candy and shirtwaist boxes, cigar boxes, battery separators, beehives, casket boxes and shells, and other wood specialties, Redwood proves its ability to resist rot.
Redwood also resists fire — a very valuable and unusual quality for wood. This is because Redwood is free from pitch or resin. Redwood is easily worked and takes paint exceptionally well.
Gradually increasing knowledge of the unusual and peculiar properties of Redwood for many building, industrial and specialty purposes, has resulted in a demand for this lumber to the extent of taxing the present facilities of the Redwood mills. The mills are making every effort to enlarge their production to take care of the increased demand. There has also been a persistent demand from lumber users and prospective users for further information about this remarkable woody and this series of advertisements is for the purpose of providing such information.

This Redwood post is located on the Petaluma and Santa Rosa electric line in Sonoma County, Cal. When the line was built through the ranch of H. Mecham, a pioneer, the post was found absolutely free from rot, although it had been set over fifty years before.
