We’ll do our bit as best we

We feel it our dutytoesllyonrstteiiticatothe seriousrsllsasd
situation that the lumber trade is facing. It is possible tbstyon
have given this matter your best consideration, and it is probable
that you have not, and as customers and friends of ours it is our
duty to try and bring this matter in its critical form to your
immediate attention.
We are notified by all the big railroads in the country that
while we can have cars at present under certain conditions, we
must so adjust our business that we will be prepared to face a
ear shortage such as manufacturers and shippers have never
dreamed of, and that in the near future.
' At this time, then, it' is well to consider and anticipate yOur
requirements for lumber and building materials, to take advan-

lumber shipments. '
