The Best Advice
On Lumber Costs
The Least Money
and when we say to prospect
ive homebuilders that "now's
the time to build" we are offer
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 thv
lumber business for these
many 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 about 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 ad vice
let's talk it over.
