WHAT’S IN A NAME?
When you wish to invest in something in which you have had no
experience, you seek safety in reliable names.
There is a standard from which to judge:—as the "Elgin” is a
standard in watches; "Sterling” is standard in silver; "Remington’
in firearms; or "Stetson” in Hats. You know that you are safe
in relying in such names as these.
In Texas, the name of ' V " '
CLEM
is standard for Lumber and all Building Material.
It carries with it the security of a reputation, ready at any
time to insure the superiority of every piece of material that leaves
the plant:—readv to “make good” on any product that does not
do all you expeer it to do.
It’s worth a Jot in jjEatisfad ion and Saving of Time and Money
to consider such a firm in your building operations for 1917.
PUT US TO THE TEST. NO TROUBLE TO FIGURE BILLS.
