a 3a pe as Dear Valued Customer It brings me great pleasure to be able to say that, at a time when many other companies are curtailing their investments in the West, Beaver Lumber is investing more than ever. But that’s really not so surprising. After all, both partners in Beaver Lumber are deeply. committed Western companies (Beaver Lumber was founded in Saskatchewan in 1906 and Hometown started business in Manitoba in 1910). As aresult of Beaver and Hometown coming together, you'll see a great many irnprovements taking place at our stores. I invite you to visit the location nearest you. You'll discover that, when it comes to Value, Service, Convenience and Selection, mio one serves you better than Beaver Lumber. Thank you for your loyal patronage. We look forward to serving you soon. Sincerely j John Lacey President Beaver Lumber
