Where Moisture
Lodges
Use Rot-resisting Redwood
FOR SIDING and porch work on which climbing vines retain moisture and foster the development of mould and decay, for shingle roofs shaded by trees so that they dry out very slowly — wherever moisture lodges — Redwood can be specified with perfect assurance that decay producing fungus will not make early replacement of these parts necessary.
The same natural, odorless preservative that protects growing Redwood against wood destroying agencies during centuries of growth protects Redwood lumber and lumber products.
Redwood is not expensive. While it will add greatly to the permanent soundness and appearance of any frame structure, it can be bought at prices little in excess of those paid for lumber that cannot compare with it in rot-resistance, percentage of clear lumber, uniformity, or freedom from shrinking, warping and swelling.
For the convenience of architects and builders we have recently issued our “Construction Digest” and our “Engineering Digest, ” which either our Chicago or New York office will gladly forward, together with mill work and frame lists of Redwood items of our manufacture. Write for them.

This Redwood log was sound and free from decay when dug up after 600 yearsʼ burial in moist soil — proved by the annular rings of the giant tree that grew over it.
