    If your costs approximate the above example, you may wish to take 
    a look at using pre-cut treads.  We believe you will realize significant savings in lumber costs and labor costs in addition to improved 
    inventory control and reduced aggravation. 

    With pre-cut treads, your personnel need only take it off the pallet 
    and install it in your stringers.
