About This Item
N.p.: Northeastern Retail Lumberman's Association, [ca. 1928]. First edition and unrecorded by OCLC. [4] pp. flyer with two full page photographic illustrations. All printed on tinted yellow card stock. Very good copy of this fun item.As a promotional gig the lumber industry, likely at the urging of the author E. A. Wade, decide to build a mobile hone out of a single Douglas Fir trunk. They hollowed it out, added all the amenities shown in the picture (bed, sink, restroom, etc.) and mounted it on a "Graham Brothers, built by Dodge Brothers, Inc. The truck is powered a six-cylinder engine, and in crossing the four highest mountain ranges and on all kind of roads, we have never been disappointed in out automotive equipment." Apparently two men took the Log to 34 states, drove 18,000 miles and visited 127 schools, all to promoted the 26,000,000 of Douglas Firs in the Pacific Northwest.
