Just To Remind You-

The railroads use 40 per cent of all fir lumber manufactured. They have done no buying for three months. Yard stocks in Southern California have never been so low since 1919.

There is little lumber on hand at the mills.

The Middle West and South is assured of a heavy spring demand.

Atlantic Coast is taking more 'West Coast lumber every year.

Los Angeles continues to rank third in building permits. l'he steel business announces plans for extensive expa.nsion, and the steel business is lumber's barometer.

Why Sell Redwood?

n NE of our good dealer friends in a recent letter jdingly V remarked that from his standpoint one of Redwood's big disadvantages is its permanence-its great durabilig mates reptacements unnecessary. Nothing short of a cycloa 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 Redwood house needs little repairing.

But this dealer keeps right on ordering Redwood. He finds that telling these sad facts about Redwood to his customers does not drive them away.

Sometimes he even ventures to rernark that according to the U. S. Government Report entitled "Physical, Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Reduoot' tlere isn't any other wood, either soft or hard, that averages as hiSh on dwbaility, lack of shrinhage, strergth as a beam or post, ease of glueing, uorkabilit! and ability to "stay put."
