WOOID THAT wrrH Pa,t/lt

Ponderosa Pine admirably sefves the requirements of the lumber dealer in furnishing the needs of his cusromers.

Ponderosa dries easily and thoroughly. It also nails, screws, and glues well, and is easy to work. Another attribute of Ponderosa Pine is its low shrinkage factor which is practically 3o/o less than some of the heavier soft woods.

Ponderosa represents a large percentage of the stock employed in the knocked-down furniture and household equipment field.

And, of course, in the shipg{pg container market Ponderosa furnftfi*& the necessary :,:.. protection at ^ Iow cost. The light weight reduces transportation charges, an important consideration. For paneling in old and new interiors, Ponderosa Knotty Pine is available in a wide variety of patterns.

The important matter of proper seasoning has been worked out at Klamath Falls to the "nth" degree. From the time the logs enter the mill until the finished boards arrive at destination, this Ponderosa Pine lumber is never exposed to the elements.

The Screen Door

The lumberman was very wise. He didn't like to "swat the flies," For dead flies always have a look When one has smashed them with a book, That isn't pleasant to be seen; And so he bought himself a screen And hinged it up before the door. "Ah, ha !" he said, "they'll come no more, No longer will I have to swatI am the wise gazabo-what?"

But just to have the screen could not Usurp the place of daily swat, IJnless, indeed, 'twas given o'er, To do the thing he'd bought it for. And every day with jovial grin, Whenever men went out or in He'd hold that screen door open wide (White in the flies did gladly glide) And, standing in the passage way, He'd bid his friends, "Hello-Good Day."

This that we say may make you smile; But think it over for a while And see if you have then the face
