Lumber Dealers Today Have Scmething to Sell
. In announcing their sponsorship of Home magazine, the National Lumber Dealers Association states: "We believe that lumber dealers today have something to sell' They must sell the idea of the private building industry and private enterprise to their own neighbors, friends, and customers.
