"All Bureau grade stamps are registered," Simpson said. "In the past the Bureau has made every effort to halt infringement, even to the point of prosecuting offenders. This policy will be vigorously continued." Official stamps of the West Coast Lumber Jnspection Bureau are identified by a shield used in conjunction with the letters "\MCLB."
