WhV You Muy Bty With Confidence Under Pickering Standards of Lumber Value

A log discloses its actual quality as its product leaves the saw, piece by piece.

Classifying each piece according to es' tablished grading rules is an approxi' mate and not an exact science.

The human factor represented by the grader must be reckoned with. How' ever expert, his interpretation must be guided by the merchandisingpolicy of his company as well as by the letter of the rules.

In dealing with this "give and take" feature of lumber manufacture, the Pickering operations adhere to the policy of giving the buyer a high standard of value and quality.

This is assured by timber holdings which comprise only the finest type of trees that grow and by graders trained and experienced in what the buyer is entitled to under Pickering Standards established through nearly a half century of successful lumber manufacture.

With these assurances of sustained quality in successive shipments, your inqurry is solicited for all items of California White and Sugar Pine, Southern Pine and Hardwoods. Moreover, the same policies apply in our manufacture of California White Pine Sash and Doors, obtainable through your localjobber.
