IORD.LIKE, the immense sales and production of Laminex has created a thousa$d economies. Labor saving devices, conveyors and mechanical units do the work of,, tl scores of hands at a fraction of the time and cosL Yet with an ever increasing "i" : ./ army of men employed. /

In the heart of the great timberlands of the Pacific Northwest, with the primeval forests practically at its door, this modern industrial plant is recognized for its production efficiency.

We draw our timber cupply from those regions producing the highest quality of lumber suitable for door manufacture. The choicest timber from our own logging operations as well as that selccted from other large opera. tors, is cut in our own sawmills.

For years we have worked in perfecting the Laminex process, de. veloping special equipment and patenting machinery for making Laminex vertical grain doors

While we concentrate our resources on the production of stock doors, our Laminex designs are made in a variety of patterns of proven demand vertical grain stiles and rails, or all flat grain. Leading jobbers at key distributing points carry adequate stocks on hand.

Lumber dealers no longer need stock odd lots of slow. moving, unknown doors, but may order liberally of this one guaranteed, trade.marked nationally farnous line-Laminex.

Home owners and builders are showing a decided preference for this remarkably "fool.proof" door that has proven itself in so many dramatic tests.
