The regrettable thing about them, however, in hothe building is that a mistake once made is made for life. Few people can afford to take a chance like this. Those who build with lumber are on the safe side because they are using a material that has been tested for years. And those who let us specify and supply the lumber are doubly sure of satisfaction because we are par­ ticularly careful to buy only standard manufacture and virgin timber products. We've had lots of experience in house building and can save you a lot of mis­ takes when you get ready to build. We don't charge a cent for our advice, however, but would like to sell you the lum­ ber, doors, windows, frames, etc. ••There's No Place Like Home" WILBUR LUMBER CO.
