Mr. Brooks is well known in

Chamber of Commerce’s Mer

The Peeler Hardware Company,
of Macon, has conspired to give
their many and ever-increasing
number of customers all that is
best in the way of wholesale hard
ware, etc. Distribution of hard
ware has always been a major
problem, because of the tendency
of some distributors to hold the
price level higher than necessary
to make a fair profit. This is not
true with this concern. First, they
have provided adequate means
for economical distribution; sec
ond, they have secured the best
the market affords, and third,
they have purchased in large
enough quantities to be able
to effect large economies, which
in turn, have been handed on to
the independent merchant.
In accord with its policy of
continuously looking for tried and
true lines which will benefit its
customers, the Forestry Equip
ment Co., has taken on the line
of tools for the forestry trade.
Forestry Equipment Co. always
feels its responsibility as a dis
tributor to keep on the alert for
efficient equipment to serve its
customers by helping to cut labor
costs and subsequently to bring
down building costs.
With this and the other tools
being available in this territory,
Forestry Equipment Co. believes
the lumber industry in Georgia
will be greatly benefitted.
