Know — your lumber — But How?
How can you know that the lumber to be used in the homes you plan will prove to be uniformly dependable?
Before the lumber is purchased, you have a right to ask these questions:
1 — Is it accurately milled?
2 — Is it surfaced four sides?
3 — Is it carefully trimmed at the ends?
4 — Is it full length — uniform in width and thickness in the
surfaced stock?
5 — Is it properly seasoned and uniformly graded?
6 — Can it be put into construction with a minimum of carpenter labor — planing, sawing and sorting?
7 — Is there a minimum of waste because of uniform quality?
8 — Does the tongued and grooved
stock fit snugly?
The lumberman can answer “Yes” to these questions if his stock includes Long-Bell trade-marked lumber.
Long-Bell Lumber may be identified by the Long-Bell trade-mark on the end of the piece.
