It may be a silo in Kansas, or railroad ties i n Vermont, the shoring in a Pennsyl vania coal mine or a kiddie car or cigar box. Even in today's world of promising new materials, one of man's oldest i s still his most useful. Lumber i s a vital thing. And the dis covery of an inexpensive way to increase the service of lumber by treating i t with creosote oil i s important to every Amer ican. Proper creosoting extends by twenty
years the lives of telephone poles and railroad ties, protects piling against ma rine borers for 20 t o 40 years or more, and halts the invasion of wood-eating termites.
