ing you really sound advice.
No matter what you have
heard about cheaper lumber,
take it from us that you're on
the safe side if you build right
now. We haven't been in the
lumber business for these
maify years for nothing we
know a thing or two and we're
willing to admit you do too,
but in the face of all this talk
nowadays alwut timber conser
vation we believe you'll agree
that lumber has a fixed value
and that by delaying the build
ing of your new home you
will gain nothing but incon
venience. We believe we can convince
you the above is good advice
let's talk it over.
