Laures VtiL WEST SIDE GROCERY MAN 8 :: West McHenry CUT THROAT POLICY IN LUMBER SELLING was abolished years ago by all reputable manufacturers. It marked the realization of the fact that Nature had given this generation but one crop of tim­ ber and that as the population grew and the forests were dimin­ ished the value of lumber would necessarily increase. This awak­ ening stopped the wasteful use of lumber and brought out many substitutes, which have proved excellent for railroad and other outdoor construction, but from the conservative housebuilders' viewpoint, don't come up to the genuine old fashioned frame house. One of the most impor­ tant considerations in building a home is that of health--to avoid dampness, mustiness and the dis­ comforts from sudden changes in the temperature--all of these things must be carefully consid­ ered in homebuilding if satisfac­ tion is to reign supreme. Maybe we can help you--if you think so come in--our advice is free. ••There's No Place Like Home" WILBUR LUMBER CO. 'PHONE S. YOUR GRANDMOTHER USED IT 'POINTS FOR SALE BY WILBUR LUMBER CO. F. A.
