NATIONAL FOREST
TIMBER SALE OPERATION
Last.year, cash receipts to the U. S. Treasury from sales
nf national forest timber exceeded $65,000,000. This is quite
an increase when compared with the $85,000 collected from
the sale of timber in 1905, the year the Forest Service was
organized in the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Twenty-five
percent of all money taken in by
the Forest Service—not only for
timber but for any use—goes back
to the States in which the national
forests are located. That money
is turned over to the counties for
public schools and public roads.
The national forests, which
contain 76 million acres of land
classed as commercial forest, are
the largest single supplier of raw
material for the Nation’s forest
products industries. Last year the
Forest Service made 24,000 sep
arate timber sales to individuals
and companies for a total cut of
»
5.3 billion board feet, about 10
percent of all the timber used in
the United States.
National forest timber lands
are managed so as to produce
perpetual crops of wood. Timber
is marked or designated for cut
ting to encourage reproduction,
maintain and improve the grow
ing stock and still safeguard wa
tershed and recreational values.
As the Forest Service marks its
Golden Anniversary, it pays trib
ute to the many states, individ
uals and companies who also are
managing their timber lands to
produce perpetual supplies of
wood for generations to come.

The best deal you can get is
the deal built into a Pontiac!
The Spectacular Star Chief Custom Sedan
There’s something you ought to know
before you sign up for a new car—
something half a million owners of the
’55 Pontiac have already learned to
their profit.
You actually get two important
money-saving deals when you buy a
fu$\ire-fashioned Pontiac.
1T You get the kind of trade-in allow
ance you’d expect from Pontiac’s vol
ume sales. The biggest year in our
history pays off for you in appraisals
that won’t be topped!
[ That’s deal number one—and the
second is even better! We’re talking
now of the terrific deal that is built
right into the car itself.
Compare Pontiac’s modest cost with
that of any other car combining such
fine-car size (124 inches of road-leveling,
road-hugging wheelbase), such blaz
ing horsepower (200* eager “horses”)
and such luxury-car stability—and
here’s what you’ll find:
That combination anywhere else will
cost you hundreds of dollars more!
Get the proof that the big, high
styled, high-powered Pontiac you really
want to own is actually your easiest
buy. Come in and talk trading—now!
