Excerpt from The Book of Lumber Shed Construction: For Retail Lumber Yards, Etc;, Also Lime Houses, Coal Sheds, Sash and Door Rooms, Offices and Shed and Yard Conveniences There are retail men who assert, and very properly, that a yard is not properly equipped unless it have both inclosed and wide, Open sheds, the latter for lumber that is not sea soned and the former for material that is so dry that it will not stain or otherwise injure if piled between walls. There are dealers who have built in this way - who have both types of sheds - but of course not all can do so. Inci dentally, it may be remarked that if every te tail dealer could have his way there would be such an overhauling of sheds as would be pos sible _to exist only in a lively imagination. Probably not one yard man in ten is wholly satisfied with his surroundings in the way of sheds. He has either built a shed with which he is not pleased or bought a yard in which there is a shed that, had he built, would have been of a different type. The three types mentioned are those which generally prevail. There are others which will be illustrated in the course of this work, sev eral of them plainly modifications or crosses of other types, and others so distinct in their fea tures as to be called types by themselves.
