Gentlemen:

We have received this car of Kiln Dried Hemlock from you and were so pleased that we took pictures, that we have enclosed.

These pictures show the way this lumber was received in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was in perfect condition.

After the strapping was cut, this car was unloaded in 40 minutes. This is a greet labor saver. Lumber is received in units, all Iengths separated, which eliminates any more handling. The lumber is dry and clean and remains that way regardless of weather conditions.

Our customers have shown great interest and have asked for repeat shipments. We have been in the wholesale & retail business since 1850 and at that time used horse and wagon delivery. Since we know it is necessary to keep up with the ever changing times, we are using the modern lumberpack way of handling lumber. By always Iooking for more modern methods, we are able to pass them on to our customers and they in return have a great€r profit, by less handling costs, and in retuln, it increases our sales. We think this is one of the biggest steps in the Lumber Industry, in that way.

Yours very truly,

H. W. MEIER LUMBER
