A restricted market dependent on the success or other- wise of a grain crop in one particular part of the world is too uncertain a foundation for a business in so widely applied a staple product as lumber. Therefore, we hope to broad- en our business and sell our products in a greater number of markets. We need variety in our markets to absorb all the product of the log. This will enable us to produce more economically with a greater benefit to the consumer. As a result of a better log market in British Columbia the export of logs in 1916 amounted to but one- half the quantity exported in 1915.
