CHOICE CROSSMAN MAPLE.
End-dried white maple, quartered maple and wide
maple are specialties of the Grossman Lumber Com-
pany, Grand Rapids, Mich., which invites the atten-
tion of manufacturers of pianos and piano actions.
All thicknesses of this lumber, in the fine grades
required in the piano industry, are found in the stock
of the Grossman yards.
A WOOD PRESERVATIVE.
"Powellizing" is a process of preserving wood said
to be employed to some extent in England. The
wood is impregnated with a poisonous ingredient
that renders it proof against 'the ravages of wood-
destroying insects. Lumber cut only two months
can be used for the manufacture of musical instru-
ments if it has been treated by the Powell process, is
the claim of the discoverer.
