The great agricultural Pacific Coast is a vast market for Moistite.
Substantial buildings on the farm is the order of the day. The farmer has long wanted a light colored, waterproof sheathing paper-one that he could economically and easily apply for remodeling work or new construction. Moistite answers this need.
As a lining for grain and vegetable bins, for the covering of the ceilings of milk houses and for use in barns, chicken coops and other buildings, Moistite is the ideal building paper. It makes a practical wrapping and covering for farm machinery, tools and other implements on the farm that are subjected to dampness, rust and.dirt. There are hundreds of uses on every farm and every farmer is a potential prospect.
Good Profits For The Lumberyard Merchant
Moistite is backed with a practical merchandising and advertising campaign, including many effective dealer helps.
The Zellerbach Paper Company is now ap' pointing dealers. Write or call at the nearest division for samples of Moistite, descriptive literature and other information which shows how the lumber merchant can cash in with this new waterproof sheathing.

Petrified Forest Found
Spokane, Wash., July 14.-A petrified forest of giant oak trees has recently been discovered near the confluence of the Colurnbia and Spokane rivers'by Dr. W. A. Johnston. Being almost inaccessible, the forest has not been fully explored, but it is'known to extend for half a mile along the south bank of the Columbia river. The diameter of many of the larger specimens of the centuries-old forest is as much as five feet, trees of two feet diameter are quite common, and many are 60 feet in height. This forest grew on one of the first eight flows of basalt that partially covered that part of the state of.Washington, but many of the fallen trunks are in open sight where the earth has been washed away. Where the tree trunks have been brought into contact with the air the wood has rapidly decomposed and left the hollow shafts in the solid rock.
