Nature is good to hemlock in the Pacific Northwest. Plentiful moisture and even temperatures produce a species of hemlock that is superior to hemlocks grown elsewhere, in its yield of high quality multi-purpose lumber.

The name "ability" wood has been applied to Weyerhaeuser 4-Square West Coast Hemlock because of its wide usability, wearability and workability. Weyerhaeuser takes this abundant "ability" wood and through scientific logging, accurate sawing, controlled kiln-seasoning, precision surfacing, proper grading, careful handling and shipping, produces a multitude of West Coast Hemlock lumber products.

Dealers who sell this plentiful "ability" wood have found it to be a highly profitable species.

A Yerserlile Full Line

Weyerhaeuser 4-Square West Coast Hemlock is ideal for framing, sheathing, and siding application. It is excellent for flooring because it actually toughens with age. Among the many popular specialty uses are: shelving, furniture, cabinets, paneling, and trim.

West Coast Hemlock is becoming increasingly popular as a finish lumber because it combines exceptional building values with outstanding beauty. It is stiff and strong, easy to work and holds nails securely. It has a beautiful light color which takes natural finishes well, and also has remarkable paint retention qualities.

Many lumber dealers are featuring this practical, dependable species because West Coast Hemlock ideally serves many uses. Ask your Weyerhaeuser District Representative about this fi.ne species when he next visits your Yard.
