A Prostrate Giant
Post Card (Undivided Back) unused
Description:
The lumbering of the big trees of the Pacific coast is an altogether unique industry. Where the old-time lumberman in other localities depended upon conveying his logs by ice roads in winter, or floating them down streams at spring freshets, the Pacific coast lumberman has to get along without any such aid, for though the latitude in which the big trees are found is almost the same as that of Labrador, snow and ice are almost unknown.

Lumbering Scene
Post Card (Undivided Back) unused
Description:
As soon as a giant tree has been laid prostrate in the forest, it is cut up into log lengths by sawyers, who operate eight-foot saws. These log lengths are to be dragged through the forest over a route where no preparatory work has been done save the clearing away of the debris, and so the log sections are "snubbed" or bevelled at the forward end, in order to enable them to travel over slight obstacles with the least possible strain on the wire ropes which are drawing them.

Title:
Steam Lumbering
Post Card (Undivided Back) unused
Description:
The twentieth-century industry of logging by steam reaches its highest development in the big tree country of western America. The logs are dragged out of the forest and to the end of the "skid road," where they are loaded on railroad trucks by means of powerful wire rope cableways. The cables are nearly an inch thick and one thousand or more feet in length, and they wind on drums operated by powerful engines, which drag the logs over the roughest kind of a road at surprising speed.

A Monster Tree Stump
Post Card (Undivided Back) unused
Description:
In the accompanying picture seventeen men may be seen standing upon the ragged and splintered stump of a giant tree, and by no means occupying all the space. On the Pacific Coast these monster tree stumps are often put to odd uses. At one point in California dances are frequently held, with a huge tree stump as a dancing floor, and there are a number of instances in which the stump of one of the big trees has been made to serve as the foundation for a fair sized home.

Title:
Log Section on Railroad Cars
Post Card (Undivided Back) unused
Description:
This picture illustrates how the log lengths, into which a big tree is cut ere it can be taken to the mill, are conveyed on special railroad trucks. The log shown in this picture, when cut up, made more than 40,000 shingles! The loading of these logs on to the railroad trucks, is itself, a delicate and dangerous task. By means of chains the log is drawn up an inclined pathway formed of dressed logs, and finally landed in place, when it is secured to the trucks.

Description:
Giant lathes are used to peal the veneer from the fine, knot-free Douglas fir used in the making of fir plywood. The block is rotated against a keen-cutting blade (at back) which shaves off the ribbon of wood usually from a tenth to a seventh of an inch thick. The continuous sheet of wood unwinds from the giant lathe almost like paper in a newspaper press. Later the sheet is clipped into plywood panels. From to eight foot peeler blocks 50 inches in diameter. 5,000 square feet of plywood is manufactured - enough to build a small plywood house.
