What Proper Bryirg Connections

Mean to the Lurnber Dealer

HE retail lumber dealer who has I gained the confidence and steady patronage of the local lumber buyers ha-s more to his business methods than clever salesmanship.

Clever salesmanship has landed many a first order but it tak-es more than "first orders" to keep a business going along profitably.

' The retailer who holds his customers y€tr after year does it by taking uniformrly good care of their requirements. By :giving them prompt service on the types iand kinds of lumber they want and have ,been accustomed to using, with a good i measure of fair treatment and square dealing thrown in.

It isn't at all strange that retailers who operate on this basis expect as much from their buying connections as they give to their own contractor and ter customers.

These dealers long ago discovered the value of being rated as a good customer b-y u few responsible mills. That is why they are not half so much interested in tttransit carstt and "cheap pricestt as tF"y are in the concern that can supply them at the right time with uniform, Jale. able lumber.

\I fEYERHAEUSBR men are aware Y V of the obligations they owe to those dealers who look to'Weyerhaeuser Mills as one of their major sources of lumber supply. As eviddnce of this is the insistence by 'Weyerhaeuser officials on uniformity, high quality of manufacture, promptness in all transactions.

The debler who buys Weyerhaeuser lumber is entitled to receiv e 100% saleable stock. Every man in this organization knows that it is his business to see that these policies are carried o[t.

The W'eyerhaeuser salesman puts you in personal contact with this lumber service. He has the whole hearted backing of 15 mills cutting 15 species and shipping from 17 enormous sto.Cks. He is the personal representative of Weyerhaeuser officials and he takes pride in the fact that his mills will back him and his customers to the limit.

FIe isn't picked merely because he can sell, but because he knows the lumber business-because he is qualified to help you.

If you want to hnoa what this service means try out your localWeyefhaeuser man with an order the next time he calls.

"Your City wants it and the best way to get it is to bring a delegation to the 34th Annual in Spokane in September and boost for it. fnduce other Clubs, who will wave in your favor, to bring their delegates and whoop for you, and so sell the other fellows on your Town as a Convention City. You-can't get it unless you go after it for there is goinf to be more keen rivalry to secure it this year than there was last.

"Now, let me say that this Annual is going to be unique in that you, our guests, will have an oppor- tunity, amid most comfortable surroundings, to visit and inspect the big Pine Operations in this vicinity, meet the operators, and when it is all over, which will be Thursday, Sept. 17th, you can board the train at night for the Coast, be there in the morning and find the Lumbermen there just as keen to show you the place to which you are gradually to come for your lumber supplies, as we will have been in showing you our Pine products. Believe me these Coast fellows are some entertainers, they are going to tell you from the Spokane rostrum that, 'You ain't seen nothing yet,' u{hich, of course, we will not agree to. But thlir invitation to 'Come and See' should not be turned down. You will always be glad you came to Spokane and went on to the Coast."

Fraternally yours,

D. S. Spoor, Chairman Publicity Committee.
