ENGINEERS APPROVE GRADE MARKED LUMBER Home Owner’s Institute Says Sys tem Is to Safegaurd Stand ard Products. The American Society of Civil En gineers has placed its stamp of ap proval on grade marked lumber. This action follows a similar step taken by architects and groups within the con struction industry. The Home Owners’ Institute makes the following com ment on the plan; "Grade marking of lumber is not an advertising device. It is a commercial practice to safeguard the integrity of standard products. "Grade marking is not a means of extracting higher prices. It is a means of keeping lumber in use. "Guaranteed grade marked standard lumber is not a device to "outlaw” un marked lumber. But it should be an effective means of preventing sub standard lumber being sold as standard.
