600 Years in the Ground,
Still Good Lumber
A spruce tree was discovered growing around and over a fallen Redwood log half buried in the ground. The annular rings of the spruce showed it to be 600 years old. In spite of the fact that the Redwood log had been buried all these centuries, it was perfectly sound.
Resistance to rot is a peculiar quality of Redwood. A natural preservative permeates the fibres of this wood, rendering it highly resistant to decay-producing fungi and the attacks of insects.
Builders of homes, greenhouses, farm buildings and equipment, mills and factories, find Redwood invaluable because of its resistance to rot. Also engineers, and manufacturers of silos, tanks, vats, pipes, beehives, casket boxes and shells, battery separators, candy and cigar boxes, and other products of wood. Redwood also resists fire, which quality adds to its
value as an all-purpose building and industrial lumber. Resistance to fire is due to the absence of pitch or resin in Redwood.
Also, Redwood is easily worked, and when properly seasoned will not shrink or warp. Manufacturers of incubators, patterns, pipe organs, textile machinery, etc., find Redwood invaluable. 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 detnand 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 wood, and this series of advertisements is for the purpose of providing such information.

California Redwood
Resists Fire and Rot
The Redwood log seen buried here was discovered while clearing a path for a railroad switch-back in Del Norte County, California. Part of the log was cut away, and although it was estimated that it had fallen six hundred years ago, the timber was perfectly sound — ft for merchantable lumber.
