Some Board!

The Redwood display board shown in the illustration is a sample board 48 inches wide, 60 inches high and, lrl inches thick, which is furnished to dealers on request by The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco. The board is hand-planed by the dealer and used as. a display board for showing samples of mouldings and similar items.

It also demonstrates the width in which clear Redwood can be obtained, and the fact that wide, .clear Redwood does not warp, check or split when properly cured.

Enough about the board. The good looking young lady in the picture is Miss Mae Thompson, of the staff of The Pacific. Lumber Company, whose sweet singing voice is often heard over KFRC and KTAB. San Francisco.
