YOUR NEW HOME
fa
/Vet?/
Somewhere in America's vast timberlands, the wood for your ^
new home may be growing. Unlike most other natural resources,
<jrees grow ? producing new wood ? from seedling to maturity.
i
Each year, America's forests grow enough sawtimber to make
Aimber for $y2 million modern homes. In addition, they grow i
millions of cords of pulpwood for the pulp, paper and chemical
products that help make American homes the envy of the civilized
world. With proper management and protection against fire, our ?
tree-growing lands 'will produce wood for new homes, forever.
American forests are growing the stock from which we will
take our future wood requirements. This growth means mate^
rials for future home-building and thousands of other uses. It
also means future payrolls, taxes and secure local industries. I.
We have a big stake in our forests. Do your share to protect
them from fire. ^
