TOS sumers are instructed to' contact their local lumber dealer for specific details.

Complimentary copies of the "Philippine Mahogany Idea Book" are available upon request from the Philippine Mahogany Association, Inc., 111 West Seventh Street, I-os Angeles 14, California. Bulk quantities for distribution by retail dealers are available at a very modest cost.
