Will build now wben lumber is low in price, a point which
it may never reach again—in fact it has already advanced
but we have not changed onr price, having bought a very
large stock, the largest in this section of the country, when
the price was at the owest paint. No delay, as we nave the
goods in*Btock. Come and see us and we will do you good.
