The Royal Palms APARTMENTS Furvished and Unfurnished 2 Bedroom Apariments FIRST STREET and PATTERSON AVENUE | Home owners and builders are becoming increasing- ly interested in wood preservation. And, there's good rea son for it. Modern tight construction produces moisture conditions in homes which cause wood to swell or shrink or check. Then there's termites and fungus decay to con- tend with as well, Key West now has effectively preserved lumbgr and other wood items readily available at reasonable cost. Strunk Lumber Yard has just installed a WOODLIFE treating tank. They can now preserve any wood products to assure lasting and trouble-free service. Strunk Lumber Yard is using WOODLIFE, the Origin _ al Water Repellent Preservative introduced to the build- ing trade in 1935. It is a balanced blend of water repek lent and contains the much publicized Pentachlorophenol. This job-proven, time-tested wood preservative protects wood against termites and other wood destroying insects as well as fungus decay (dry rot). It stabilizes the wood and guards it against damage caused by excessive mois- ture. WOODLIFE also makes an excellent Lase for paint, varnish, enamel or oil stain finishes. By keeping the wood free of excesive moisture it reduces paint failure, With modern insulation and air-conditioning this factor is of growing importance. Blistering and peeling of paint ae practically unknown if siding is WOODLIFE protected, states Strunk Lumber Yard. Air-conditioning mainiains even humidity and frequently adds moisture to @ room. WOODLIFE-protected doors and windows won't stick. This complete water-repellent wood preservative is available at Strunk Lumber Yard. They dip the wood pro duct in a tank of WOODLIFE giving it deep penetration. Thousands of home owners have found that the insurance it provides ,against moisture. rot. and termite destruction more than offsets the small treating charge. If you are planning to build or remodel soon, it will pay you to investigate Strunk Lumber Yard's modern ethod of wood preservation. STRUNK LUMBER YARD 128 SIMONTON ST. PHONE 77
