THosE to whom Douglas fir plywood has long been a preferred I construction material now find even greater advantages in this "modern miracle wood." For today, under the new U. S. Commercial Standard adopted by the industry, every panel of Interior-type plywood is manufactured with high-performance adhesive. This is the highly moisture-resistant (but not waterproof) adhesive long used in Plyform grade Douglas fir plywood-adhesive which withstands an average of at least l0 cycles of wetting and drying. Higher specifications for inner p,lys on all grades of l,nterior-type plywood have also been adopted. Together, these improvements mean greater usefulness, greater serviceability-and higher performance standards than ever before.
