Dealen Built F{omes Are lEetten

BY JACK DIONNE

We have always said that a community in which there operates a live lumber merchant-or live lumber merchants-is a fortunate community indeed; that the lumber merchant is either a blessing or a stumblins block to his town, depending entirely upon the rnanner in which he handles his stewardship.

This is true in many waytr and for many reatons.

! f*e the modern merchandising thought that the lumber

E merchant is nx)re interested in securing new and better

! ho-o for his town than simply in se-lling the buildin-g

E material from which these homes shall be construcld;

E U"t his interest is muhral with that of tfie home builder

E himself, and stops only at the point wherg the consumer

E i" tt"ppily and satisfactorily supplied with tfie best pos-

E sible homes for his means.

E Has it ever occured to you, Mr. Lumber Dealer,

E tn"t the town in which the lumberman is directly inter-

E ested in the building of homes' tecureE far better homes

! th"tt tfie town where this is NOT the case? Of course

E tttir is a fact. When t{re lumber dealer is directly inter-

! ested in securing or sreating for his client a satisfactory
