Why Sell Redwood?

n NE of our good dealer friends in a recent letter jokingly \.,f remarked that from his standpoint one of Redwood's big disadvantages is itq permanence-its great durability maker 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 resists decay. A Redwood house needs little repairing. But this dealer keeps right on or&ring Redwood. He finds that telling tfiese sad facts about Redwood to his customers does not drive them away.

Sometimes he evea ventures to remark that according to the U. S. Government Report entitled "Phgsicol, Mcchanical ond Chemical Properties of Reilwoot' therc isn't any other wood, either soft or hard, that averages as high oo, d*tabilitg, lach of shrinhage, strength as o beam or post, ease of glue.ing, atorhabilitg and ability to "stay put."
