Why Sell Redwood?

nNE of our good dealer friends in a recent letter jokingly V remarked that from his standpoint one of Redwood's big disadvantages is its permanence-its great durability makes replacements unnecessary. Nothing short of a cyclone will destroy Redwood. Fungus does not rot it and worms and insects leave it alone. It is a slow burner. Thoroughly painted, it looks well a long time. Even unpainted, it still resists decay. A Reclwood house needs little repairing. But this dealer keeps right on ordering Redwood. He finds that telling these sad facts about Redwood to his custorners does not drive them away.

Sometimes he even ventures to remark that according to the U. S. Governmerrt Report entitled "Physical, Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Redwood" there isn't any other wood, either soft or har<1, that averages as high on durbaility, lack of shrinhage, strength as a bearn or post, ease of glueing, u'orhabilit! and ability to "stay put."
