How's that for a drop? But there is another thing we want to remind you of. If you are going to do any building and want to get rock bottom prices on your lumber direct from the saw mill,“ its time you were letting us know about it. We expect to clean up our yard at he mill before snow flies and unless: we know about what and how much you will want you will probably have to get it from our yard in Cottonwood where it will cost you considerably more because of haul ing and handling charges.So better let us know in plenty time just what you want and we can arrange for you to get it at the mill if you like.
