GEORGE OOUGH IA IN ID LUMBER
Foith 'n be gorrY-hero rlit St. Pqfrlck'r Doy iurt oround lhe corner ond my mind ic filled wirh lhoughls of lhe Emerold lcle. Hove you heord the rlory of the lrich Bdckloyer who sloched owoY bricks oll winler long ond lhen, when Spring butted oul oll over, he wos reody with hir hod ond promptly begon building houres. After building two houres he soid, "We gollo hove longer winlers-l oin'l gol enough lime to ssve bricks."
For the life of me I con'l see whot lhe point is-buf somehow if seems lo tie up with lumber. All fhe lumber thql's been snowed in is, like 9pring, "busling out oll ovet." We're reody lo deliver lhe goods RIGHT NOW for your Spring invenlory. And, unlike the lrishmon, our winler wos plenty long enough. We're reody to furnish mqleriol lIflrVlEDlATE[Y.
We won'l be so bold os to soy, iusl yel, "onylhing you need, we'Ye gol il" but we will surely "bust oul oll oYer" in our efforl fo be of service. DUnkirk 2-2214 is the number qnd "lhe lop o' lhe mornin' lo yo."
