Why Sell Redwood?

1| NE of our good dealer friends in a recent letter jokingly V remarked that from his standpoint one of Redwood's big disadvantages is its permanence-its great durability makes replacements unnecessary. Nothing short of a cyclone will destroy Redwood. Fungus does not rot it and worms and insects leave it alone. It is a slow burner. Thoroughly painted, it looks well a long time. Even unpainted, it still rcsists decay. A Redwood house needs little repairing. But this dealer keeps right on ordering Redwood. He finds that telling these sad facts about Redwood to his customers does not drive them away.

Sometimes he even ventures to remark that according to the U. S. Government Report entitled "PhXsical, Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Reilanod" there isn't any other wood, either soft or hard, that averages as high on ilurability, loch of shrinhage, strength as a beam ol Post, ease of glueing, zaorkabilitg and ability to "stay put."
