You can tell a BUILDER by his stripes, too!

Wrtn rnn nrlr of competition bringing out the best in the best of our builders, you'll find the most successfirl fellows are those who pay the most attention to cost details. And those who do are most likely to be building more and more roofs of red ceda.r shinglcs on spoced sheathing.

They have discovered, by carefirl cost accounting and. selling experience, that spaced sheathing means an enorrnoun saving on each house-and that cedar shingles add a luxury appearance that pays off in faster sales. They've figured their roofing costs in two ways: frst, with ordinary roofing material which requires a solid roof deck of lumber plus the labor cost of constructing a deck of solid sheathing. Then they have figured their costs the economical way-using about half as much spaced sheathing and far less labor and nail cost applying it for use with cedar shingles.

And they have found that CERTIGRADE red cedar shingles, because they permit such savings on sheathing cost, and because they help to sell houses faster, are today's smartest roofing choice.

Yes, you can tell a smart builder by the stripes of spaced sheathing you'll see on the roofs of his homes under construction. You'll know he has figured it out for himself and knows that the spaced sheathing idea, wit}a CERTIGRADES, makes good sense.

Would you like to have a free cost estimating form that takes all the work out of figuring the difference between spaced sheathing and solid sheathing? We will be glad to send one to you. It will permit you to use your own labor and materials costs to get the accurate answer fot your own a,rea.

Once you have found how cedar shingles canr save sheathing costs, we believe you'll be convinced, os so rnany strccessful builders are, that cedar shingles belong on the homes you build too.

Teco's 19 Yeats of Service

Timber Engineering Companv, affiliated rvith National Lumber N{anufacturers Association, has completed 19 vears as a service organization for the lumber and rvood-using industries. Its aim is the development of neu' uses of wood, forest products and their derivatives. Timber Engineering Company's staff of engineers, technologists, and chemists is maintained to serve producers, distributors, and users of lumber and rvood products; architects, engineers, and builders; scientists, professors of architecture and engineering and their students, and others interested in better u'ood utilization.

"Advancements in Wood Research and Timber Engineering" is a report in which special emphasis is given to the research services being rendered by both large and small companies. The wood-using industries are made up mostlv of small firms, most of whom cannot afford adequate research facilities. For this reason the Timber Engineering Companv has provided facilities and trained personnel that are available on a moderate fee basis. From an investment standpoint the cost of research is small. Considered in the light of insurance for a business, it has no equal. Static businesses die; research keeps business alive.

Copies of "Advancements in \\rood Research and Timber Engineering" are available from Harry G. Uhl, President, Timber Engineering Company, 1319 Eighteenth St., N.W., \\'aslrington 6, D.C.-l;ronr Bruce )[agazine.
