The claim that-BIG TIMBER-plywood is non-splitting is well substantiated by an object that quickly catches the eye of the visitor to the office of Lloyd Harris, Elliott Bay Sales Co., 1924 Broadway, Oakland.

This is a small piece of one quarter inch plywood wallboard, through which a 'rusty railroad spike has been driven, one half inch from the end of the piece, without any sign of splitting.

Asked about it, Mr. Harris said he drove the rusty spike into the plywood as the result of a challenge by a well known San Joaquin Valley retail lumberman, and has been using the combination for a paper weight ever since.
