salary or does he expect to renew the
fight for higher wages. By a refer
endum the people have spoken on this

salary is adequate. We hear no crit

to know about the salary. Tell us

“That Is What I
Call Real Lumber”
[t’s the kind it pays tobuy, too,
for even if the first cost is a
little more than the cheaper
grades, the extra labor required
in using cheaper lumber more
than makes up the difference.
The complete job is also more
satisfactory when good lumber
1S used.
No matter how small the order
you may rest assured that you
will receive the same courteous
service as the largest buyer.
