To Our Friends
Me Cross Tie Men
We have cli aned up our yards and want all the ties
we can get, especially within the next thirty days, to be
made according to the specifications below.
No. 1 ties are still made as they used to be,7x8 sawed and
7x7 hewed, and No. 2s are now 7 inches thick in each case
with one inch less face.
Note particularly that the No. 2s have changed and
will be same thickness as the No. Is.
In regard to the Red Oak ties, we want just as many
as we can get of this class timber during the next thirty
days.
Bear in mind that the Government now sets the spe
cifications for all the roads, and does the buying for all
of them and thoy positively will not take any tie of either
white oak or mixed oak that shows the least sign of dote
or decay, and for this reason we are compelled to throw
such timber out of the loads. In the past they would
take a small dote in the end or a little hole that didn't
go over six inches into the tie.
Please bear in mind they have given us thirty days
to clean up the Red Oak. but there maybe an extension
of this time, but we cannot guarantee this, so rush your
red oaks spanish oaks, hickory and ash ties in within the
next thirty days.
The White Oaks, of course are not limited as to time
of delivery.
The price of the white oaks and chestnut oaks will
still be the same with us, although the Government has
cut the price they pay for the timber and hardened on
the inspection.
For No. 1 white oaks, we will pay 60c each. No. 2
white oaks 50c each, and for the mixed oak ties we will
pay 50c for the No. Is, and 40c each for the No. 2s.
I didnot mention the length in the first specification
because I wanted to call your particular attention to
this feature, the Government days a tie must be 8 feet and
6 inches long, not 7 inches nor 5 inches, but 8 feet and 6
inches long. So make your ties the right length, mark
a pole like we have told to measure 8 feet 6 inches and let
your ties be made right.
Bring your ties to the old reliable stand where Frank
McCrary will give you everything that is in your load and
will not stick you for a single tie.
But friends don't bring doty or rotten timber and
remember Frank can tell a "Plugged" tie as far as he
can see one.
Your Friends.
