YOU COULD JUDGE

The possibilities of Uliie Mountain Lumber, when you plan to build
or repairwere shown in wide variety at. the wood products display of
the Home Products Show.
Beautiful, strong, . enduring the man who has built with Blue
Mountain lumber will tell you the greater satisfaction, greater economy
that's possible when you specify this quality material.

You can imagine how people react to a clean, bright, attractive store
and how they are repulsed by tho dim, dirty, run-down business place.
A bright, well-painted front is a magnet for customers and they
' like to buy from an interior that -is freshly painted, light and clean.
Good paint applied by men who are experienced in correct decora
tion is a good investment. It helps new customers become old custo
mers. Clean and new, it impresses prospective buyers that your goods
are also clean and new.
It is not expensive to keep your store looking attractive. And it's an
investment that PAYS. Look at your store from the customer's view
pointand let us give you an estimate on the cost of redecorating.
