Why, every one of us spent our first days in a cradle made of lumber. Our lives have been lived between walls of two by fours and lath, with rafters over our heads, and matched flooring beneath our feet. We have been sitting in wooden chairs, eating from wooden tables, riding in wooden wagons, and in the course of time will be laid to rest in wooden caskets. Lumber Is King in the Construction World.

It sometimes plays strange tricks with tolephono numbers. Few people can romembcr tolephono numbers accurate ly. Many errors nro mado in calling numbers by transpos ing the figures. For exumplo, people will cull 053 when 033 is wanted. Calling numbers Mn error or by not giving them slowly nnd distinctly m the operat ors enn understand aro tho causes of most "wrong num bers." A wrong number wastes your time, delays your ser vice and annoys tho person who answers tho call. Always get tho number from' tho directory first.
