"Although we have carried a large inventory of Teak for many years and have worked closely with the governments of Thai' land and Burma who control the sale of Teak products for their countries, this insures a reliable and positive source.

"In addition to providing direct shipments to anyplace in the United States, between 50-100,000 feet will be stocked in our Los Angeles yard. Material shipped from our Los Angeles {acility can also be supplied with any detail desired from our plan' ing mill."
