Charity Begins At Home

Many dealers find giving service or charitable contributions an effective way to strengthen their image in the community.

Boise Cascade reported company contributions of $34,692 to charitable and educational organizations in Alabama last year. This included cash grants and the market value of noncash gifts such as inventory and services.

For the past three years, Scotty's, Winter Haven, Fl., has observed the opening of new stores with shopping sprees for local service groups. These allow a selected organization to choose at no cost items most needed by its program. In addition, the chain makes contributions to projects such as community playgrounds.

"Now is the big time for home projects," says Boyd Byrd, area man' ager for McDonald Lumber Co., Fayetteville, N.C. "We're selling a lot of treated lumber."

Outdoor decks "are the most PoPular single item selling now," agrees Jimmy Tew, sales manager for God' win Building Supply Co., Dunn, N.C.

D-l-Yerc Revive Glass Block

Glass block, a ghost from the art deco era, is returning as a popular di-y building material.

"They are using them in exterior walls instead of windows to bring light inside," said Tom Pulsifer, vice president of Mills & Nebraska, a retail division of Central Florida Lumber, in Orlando, Fl.

The blocks. which come in a variety of designs, range from clear to opaque. The 8" block in a diffused wave pattern, one of the most PoPular, sells for $4-$5 per block, according to Pulsifer.

"Improved installation techniques makes them a better insulator than most windows," he claimed.
