M SHORT AND NARROW MATERIAL reason why such a product as this cannot be sold at $1.00 to $2.00 less per thousand than though it were the longer stock. There cannot be any objection to using the shorter lengths of flooring, built up in this manner, in the cheap houses, for the rea- son that it has been the custom for years in the high grade houses to use hardwood flooring as short as 18 inches. Or, this composite flooring can be sold as a sub-floor in the higher grade houses where they intend to lay the thin hardwood flooring. It can also be used for partition purposes, sheathing and in thicker stock for barn and factory flooring. The lumber manufacturer having shorts and short shorts and other cuttings no matter of what width lumber, can likewise use a Linderman machine to work up this product into a composite board which may be of any width, 12-in., 16-in. or even wider. This product can either be milled and converted into shiplap or used for sheathing or partition work or as a sub-floor. The same machine which will do the above work, will also take 2-in. x 4-in., converting them into 4-in. x 4-in., 4-in. x 6-in., 4-in. x 8-in., 4-in. x 10-in., or 4-in. x 12-in., or building up the 2-in. narrow stock into wider widths. The cost is very small when the results obtained are considered. On the flooring proposition, assuming that the average length of all stock is 30 inches, except that of the binding strips, it is possible in one day to turn out from 8,000 to 10,000 board feet with a pay roll of four men on the machine and one man to lay out the strips to length before they come to the machine, giving an average pay roll in the West of $13.00 a day or of $10.00 a day in the East. This would make the cost $1.00 to $1.25 per thousand board feet. , For this product, most manufacturers are now obtaining but $2.50 to $3.00 a wagon load, which will equal 600 to 800 board feet, while for such a product as this they should obtain within $2.00 of their regular price for flooring. By sending us samples of your waste, we will show you the results. PANY, LIMITED Works at WOODSTOCK, ONT. MUSKEGON, MICH.
