Just another working day for Del Cole.

With much of American business moving towards the shorter working day and the 4-day work week, Del Cole, it would seem, is a bit out of step with the times.

But that doesn't bother Del Cole. He figures if he's slightly out of step like that, it means he's a big step up on his competition.

So while Del's wholesale lumber competitors are comfortably tucked away this morning, he's tracking asphalt through a 5 a.m. chill so he'll arrive in Sacramento when one of the mills he does business with opens its doors.

It's not something Del, or any other Rounds salesman, is required to do. It's something they just do.

Because they want to be the most knowledgeable wholesale lumber sales crew in the country. Armed with the kind of market information that can only come from a firsthand look at the source of supply.

Just so the next time you want something, they'll know where to find it.

Aren't they the kind of guys you'd like working for you?

Del, and the rest of the Rounds sales stafi, is waiting. Give them a call:
