The entire time consumed by the carpenter for calculating the best plan for framing, has been eliminated. This time is entirely saved, because with our Bennett Better-Built system, the planning is completely done in our office before the material is shipped, and our Special Notch System makes the work speedy.
As you have watched work on a house, have you ever stopped to figure how very much of a workman's time was spent in first measuring, then cutting, then trying and perhaps refitting the material—all this is against the very small amount of time required for fastening and nailing? Well, we save you all that fuss and waste by furnishing the material not merely cut, but cut to fit more accurately than hand labor ever could.
Immediately upon receipt of your order, the blue-prints of the design you have selected, the bill of material and a set of instructions are mailed to you. At that same time, a duplicate bill of material is sent into our mill, with instructions to start cutting. Within a few hours the material for the frame of your house is completed—which means that the work which would have required many days of expensive labor on the job, is accomplished in hours by our machines—more economically, more accurately, many times over.
ECONOMY IN MILLWORK
All Bennett Better-Built doors, windows, door frames, window frames, door trim, window trim and mouldings are manufactured in quantities—therefore at a very low cost of production, of which you derive the benefit. Powerful and precise machines saw and resaw, rout stair stringers, mortise, and fit doors and windows, cut and shape woodwork, smooth and sand all sorts and sizes of lumber—with a quality of fine workmanship in dozen and score lots impossible by any other method.
And remember—any saving in labor must be considered a double saving, because the more time required for the erection of your home, the longer you are paying out money for labor on the new and for rent where you are living.
ECONOMY IN WATER TRANSPORTATION OF RAW MATERIALS
The docks of the Ray H. Bennett Lumber Company, Inc., are located the best of any in North Tonawanda. You will realize the importance to you of location, when we tell you that the largest lumber steamers coming down the great lakes, direct from the saw mills, land at our docks. Thus we are enabled to take advantage of lake-steamer cargo-shipments, and save something for you.
