Here is a leading architect that wants dry lumber so badly that he has been using second-hand stock in fine homes. Isn'tthat a strange comnrent.on the lumberindustry?

WHEN PO,RT ORFORD CEDAR AND DOUGLAS FIR GREW IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP

This picture shows a wonder of nature, in tree life. It also shows the long life and staying qualities of the Port Orford Cedar, even after it has bie.n -a ,idown,' tree for hundreds of years. Here are the factS.

The picture shows an upright stump, of a tree that grew over a fallen tree trunk. The fallen tree was a port Oiford Cedar. The rings in the tree show that it was over 300 vears old when it fell.

T!. Douglas Fir that grew over it was recently cut by the logging crews of The Coos Bay l.umber Comirany, of

X'Iarshfield, Oregon, and the rings on this tree show that it was over 250 years of age. How much before the Fir began growing, the Cedar lay on the ground, ro oD€ of course knows. It might have been a long time. But it is abso= lutely certain that it has lain there over 250 years while the Fir was growing to a great tree over it.

When they cut the Fir they also cut up the fallen Cedar. It was found that the Cedar was just as sound as the day it fell-as sound as the big strong Fir. Both went to the mill to be turned into lumber.

But isn't it an unusual thing, and interesting, too?
