We, as one of the members of the Vest Coast Lumberments Association and of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and, all one of the largest fnanufacturers catering to the California ma1fts1-$sth rail and water, are pleased to advise t'hat we af,e now in position tofurnish prompt shipmcnts of segregated gmdes of trade and grade marked lumber inspected and marked under the supervision of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and guaranteed by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Due to the fact that we own and operate our own steel steamers, the SS. "Robert Johnsont' and the SS. ttc. D. Johnson III", own our own timber and sawmills, and maintain our own sales offices (with R. T. Gheen in charge in Los Angeles and A. B. Griswold in San Francisco), our lumber is loaded and now arrives by cargo in even widths, thicknesses and lengths, and will arrive in straight grades, when and if you so specify, and at a cost that will not exceed youf cost of segregating mixed gtades, such as No. I Common and No. 2 Common.
