Supply of Philippine Mahogany is lncxhaustibfe

By Jack Dionne

Every now and then someone who has heard the merits and characteristics of Philippine Mahogany expounded in laudatory manner, pops up with a natural question something like this:

"Very well ! Let's assume that it IS as beautiful, and useful, and economical as you say it is ! But how about the supply ?"

And, Mister,' that's where the well posted Philippine Mahogany salesman shoots his biggest gun. For did you know, friends, that of all the commercial woods that grow on the top side of this fairly well-treed earth, Philippine Mahogany has far and away the biggest supply?

Did I say "biggest" ? That word doesn't cover the situation nor describe the supply. For the supply of Philippine Mahogany is to all practical purposes INEXHAUSTIBLE. And that can be said of no other commercial wood, soft or hard.

Yes Sir, they are going to. have plenty of Philippine Mahogany forever, it looks like. Know how much of this timber there is standing in the Islands ? Give ear and learn. The Bureau of Forestry of the Philippine Islands says that there are four hundred and eighty-six billion feet of it.
