Charred, But Not Injured
All that remained of this dyeing and cleaning establishment were two tanks built of Redwood. They were charred, but merely a tightening of the bands rendered them as serviceable as ever. The third tank of the group, built of another wood, was destroyed and a new one was necessary.
Redwood resists fire, because, unlike most lumber, it is free from pitch or resin — hard to ignite, slow to burn, easy to extinguish.
This quality of Redwood renders it an exceptionally good lumber for all sorts of framedwellings, business and farm buildings — weather boards, siding, shingles, sheathing, porch posts and rails, interior trim and all other general business purposes. Also for the manufacture of fire-doors, windowframes, mouldings, and for all sorts of industrial purposes.
Redwood also resists rot to an astonishing degree, even when exposed for years to dampness, earth, or moist atmosphere. A natural preservative in the wood itself protects this lumber. Hence its value for beehives, battery separators, tanks, vats, pipes, silos, casket boxes and shells, etc. Properly seasoned Redwood does not shrink or swell. It stays put. Hence its value for incubators, organ pipes, patterns, etc.
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 wood, and this series of advertisements is for the purpose of providing such information.

Resists Fire and Rot
Redwood water tanks are capable of withstanding severe fires, as evidenced by these photographs. The two charred tanks are Redwood, and went without damage through the fire which destroyed the plant of J. Allec, New Parisian Dyeing and
Cleaning Works, San Francisco. The third tank, of another wood, had to be entirely replaced,
