Let's see, where ARE we?

Four yecrs crgo the movement oI our lumber to the ncrtion's builders wcrs violently interrupted. It had begun in 1853 when the first one oI the grect Pope d Tcrlbot scrwmills in the west begcrn turning. That wcls crt Port Gcmble . . in the mcssive Douglcs Fir region of Puget Sound. When Pecrl Hcrrbor exploded, overnight, deliveries lrom crll our vqst operctions turned to wcr.

Now the scene has changed cgcrin. As we crre cbout to resume our history of dependcble supply to civilian lumber users, we look back to the brecrk crnd murmur, "Let's see, where were we?" But where we were hqs lost perspective. It's todcy's pressures that count. So we scy, "Let's see, where ARE we?"

Well, we're 14 million homes behind cn over' whelming luxnber mcrrket by itsell. There are the urgent lumber needs ol reconversion. Mil' lions of dollars worth of rcrilrocrd work crwcrits our bocrrds and timbers. Industries plcn expcrnsions. Foreign cclls for reconstruction swell the cosmic chorus. That's where we ABE.

Pope & Talbot witl fill your orders iust cs soon crs conditions permit, with service cs the underlying factor. An orgcnizqtion with the crbility to deliver lumber thct is properly milled-properly grcrded and properly hcrndled . . . with each depcrrtment working smoothly to expedite delivery to your complete satisfcrction.
