CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
At Cook County Lumber, we believe in always giving customers what
they expect, providing quality products and exceptional service. Cook
County Lumber recognized the growing demand of FSC materials in the
marketplace and a need to support our customers who have taken the
necessary steps to obtain FSC certification as such, Cook County
Lumber is proud to announce we have received a Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) chain-of-custody certificate (SCS-COC-001635) effective
July 2, 2008 http://www.fsc-info.org.

   Cook County Lumber's FSC certification eliminates the need for our
customers to go through secondary sources for FSC wood products. We
have relationships with top mills for FSC lumber materials, thereby
maintaining the integrity of the chain-of-custody from the
manufacturer to the dealer.

   The Forest Stewardship Council is an independent, nonprofit
organization, which accredits bodies and promotes voluntary, third
party certification. The FSC trademark is to guarantee to the consumer
that the product comes from responsible sources - environmentally
appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable. To read more
