Western Pine Region woods adhere to a fine grade line

A sure measure of Western Pine Association lumber quality is its grade uniformity. How can the Association maintain such high grading standards among nearly 500 mills in the great 12-state region?

It is done on a time-tested plan through the Association's Bureau of Grades: every member mill is checked monthly-by a different inspector each time. The mills'graders are constantly advised and aided. The result: remarkable grade uniformity among the 11 Western Pine Region species.

Careful grading is one more quality control that insures you of a uniform product when you order Western Pine Region woods. For more information, write the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.
