Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. 184 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER September 1, ij^io and ranging from the humble summer cottage to the more protentious permanent residence. A saving may be effected by working to one of the standard designs, but it requires special plans to be worked up to suit the requirements of the purchaser. In this case a small extra charge is made to cover cost of drawing the plans and working out the details. Each Piece or Group is Numberejd The Engineering Department prepares these plans and also pre- pares detailed drawings, showing the size and other particulars of each individual item entering into the construction of the house. Each piece or group of similar pieces is numbered or otherwise iden- tified. From these detailed drawings a list of material is made U|) which accompanies the drawings to the factory.

Each item is picked off as got out. The material for each house is kept separate. Thus all confusion and errors are avoided. The material is all worked to very accurate sizes.
