Your Kindling Pile as a Sour: The constantly increasing high price of lumber has compelled many users to consider working material which before they have always rejected and due to its not being saleable, many manufacturers have thrown it into the burner or cut it in short lengths and '< sold it as kindling wood. Just take half an hour and walk through your mill and factory stopping at each point where the waste is accumulating and ask : yourself, "Can this be saved so as to return a profit?" The man who is familiar with the Linderman method will thoroughly recog- ; nize how the waste at many points may be reduced 40 per cent, or even 60 per cent. In the flooring mill where the hard and soft wood lumber is bundled, where defects are cut out leaving an accumulation of waste of various lengths whose ultimate destination is the kindling pile, fully fifty per cent, ©f this waste can be converted into floor- ing. It is true that this flooring is different from any that has ever yet been marketed, but still, owing to the advance in price, it will find a ready sale at $2.00 or $3.00 less than the standard price which will yield a vast profit over what can be obtained for it as kindling. The illustration shown above clearly indicates how this can be done. As all flooring manufacturers are thoroughly aware, there is more or less flooring having machine defects on the tongue and groove that prevents its being utilized, yet the face of the board would run as No. 1 or No. 2 grades. If these long lengths were saved instead of being cut up and then, if a number of short lengths which ordinarily would be cut up as kindling were saved, having the ends trimmed accurately and laid out so that their com- M bined lengths would equal the long flooring pieces having defective edges, these can be united into a board 8 in., 10 in. or 12 in. in width and joined together on the Linderman machine so that the entire board has a strength equal to, if not greater than, the wide lumber. Such a floor as this would be very acceptable in all of the cheaper made houses in all parts of the country, where the con- tractors see that they can save several dollars per thousand. The lasting qualities of the board and its strength are equal to the one-piece stock or narrow widths. This product could also be used for partition work, sub-flooring, shiplap or sheathing.
