The Best Advice on Lumber Costs the Least Money and when we say to prospective homebuilders that “now’s the time to build” we are offering 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 (?) 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 conservation 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 inconvenience. We believe we can convince you the above is good advice—let’s talk, it over. O- O. SIT'S’DEH PHONE 32 August Bulletin of Summer Tours TO THE EAST— .
