Save Building
Expenses
by getting lumber on which little work is
required.
The mills certainly have put a smooth
finish on the lumber we are selling.
Why, it scarcely needs going over with
sandpaper.
A cqrpenter can do a lot of nailing in a
day, but when it comes to planing every
piece of wood it retards him a lot and adds
* considerably to the cost of the building.
