Wood for Boqring

Boat owners have increased in number by millions. These proud, happy millions are learning, in a new and thrilling way, the wonders of wood. The inherent qualities of the various species used in boat building are important to them as they glory in the sleek lines, rugged strength and cosy beauty of their beloved craft. These enthusiasts constantly make more conyerts to the joy of boat-owning. The tremendous new demands for marinas, ramps, boat-houses, floats, etc. are all adding to the call for WOOD.

Are you alert to this striking new development? Are you getting your share of the rapidly growing wood-for-boating business?

But the right species of lumber fulfill not only boating needs , they also meet the needs for homes, patios, gardens, play yards, furniture, fences, etc. Economically, too!

Wherever such sales possibilites exist there's a National-American member ready to help you get the woods you want. REMEMBER:
