STAR—WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1916, PAGE Copyright, 1916, by IM. ©, Misher Trade Mark Ree U. 8 Pat. Off. By BUD FISHER You Are Sure to Have More Than a Passing Interest weLvogere’! WHAT Age YOU DOING ? HELL HEAR TNE se SHOTS AND PROBABLY in Cheasty’s Straw Hats $2.50 and Up “Values Tell” a ee E now have a stock once again of short flooring and ceiling that we can sell at prices below market. A word of explanation why we can sell this class of material at such low prices may be interesting. In the first place, this is good flooring and good ceiling, number two clear and better; the lengths run from 4 feet to 10 feet. We deal with several large mills, and most of these mills are located in small towns or camps, where there is not much sale for lumber. The East is well sup- plied with short-length lumber at rather low prices. The freight rate to the East is just as high on lum- ber if same is short as it is on long lengths, and the result, mills oftimes are unable to market short- length flooring and ceiling against Eastern competition. When they finally accumulate a large surplus stock and get tired of seeing it around, they call on us and we get a bargain. We buy cheap and sell cheap. Short-length flooring fom 4-foot to 9-foot lengths can be used just as well as long lengths in warehouse buildings, in rooms of houses where carpets are used, porch floors, etc. Prices from $11.00 to $14.00 per M feet board measure, a saving of 50 per cent. Short ceiling can be used in nearly every instance as well as long; can be used for wainscoting, ceiling porches, building chicken houses. Can be used for hundreds of purposes. Costs no more than shiplap. Our price 4-foot and 5-foot lengths, $11.00 per M; 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-foot lengths, $14.00 per M. Window Frames and Door Frames Kiln-dried material throughout. Why not buy your win- dow and door frames from us in the knockdown? Our plain window frames are only $1.00 per frame, and are made right, of dry material. No guesswork about it. You will pay as much for the material almost anywhere as we charge for knock-down frame. Inside Finish -Lumber If you want window and door finish lumber, buy from us in sets. As an example, say you need finish lumber for a window. We furnish the stool, the apron, the head casing, cap and fillet, the 2 side casings and the 3 pieces of inside stop. Tied up in a compact, neat bundle. No waste. Price 75 cents. Plain casing sets 1x5—s4s only 65 cents per set. Inside finish for doors tied in sets. Plain casing 40 cents. Bull nose or step or pilaster casing sets 60 cents. Bargains in Mouldings A few reasons why you should buy mouldings from us: All our mouldings are run or manufactured on our high-speed, slow-feed machines. All kiln dried material. Are stored on end in a non-daylight moulding rack, and for this reason reach the user bright and clean from dust and dirt. Owing to our rather large production, we sell moulding at very low prices, ‘ Parting Bead, 30c Per Hundred Blind Stop, 50c Per Hundred Quarter Round, 30c Per Hundred Picture Moulding, 60c Per Hundred Window Stool, 3 Cents a Foot The prices above catalogue. quoted are all taken from our new 1916 Our New 1916 Catalogue Is the most complete and up-to-date we ever issued.
