The George Palmer Lumber com

loads have been shipped from the
yards, but the shipment in real earnest
does not commence until the last of
the month.
For months the company has been
storing and piling the product of each
day's cut and already the lumber yard
has assumed considerable proportions.
It takes some time for the lumber to
