'hen we call your attention to our business here
in Boardman it does not necessarily mean that
you have to be planning a new home, a new barn
or some great improvement, to need us.
We want you to think of us when you want a
single 10 foot board. A few pounds of lime, some
shingles a bit of tar supplies for any kind of
little repair job.
Once you have found how obliging we can be on
small service then we know you will just natur
ally come back here when it is good lumber, sand,
cement, lime or other building materials you
want for the big jobs.
And, by the way, take our sincere and honest tip.
Now is a good time to build.
