"When a firm decides to build, what is the first thing to do?" asked the Junior Partner. "That's a disputed point," said the Old Man. "They used to buy the ground first, then engage an architect, and tiien get bids from contrac tors. But when the Conner Company built, the architect convinced them first thing that they had bought tho wrong ground. Then the con tractor fell down because he couldn't get lumber in time, and finally failed. So Conner says now that he always engages his lumber first, then hife architect, and then buys the ground!" "He's a wise man," said the Junior Partner, "especially with building prospects as they are now." "That's so," said the Old Man. "They say you never can tell which way a cat is going to jump, but the lumber cats are all jumping one way this year. Conner gets in ahead of the rush. Yes, he's a wise man." Some day you'll build. If you want the work finished on time, see that the lumber comes from LLOYD. William M. Lloyd Company THK LUMBER CKNTRB, 29th Street and Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia.
