Material handling, storage and delivery equipment represent a BIG inveshnent for lumber and building material dealers.

More than $90 million worth of forklifts, tractors and other material handling equipment, for example, are insured by Indiana Lumbermens Mutual Insurance Cornpany.

Big capital investments like these require lots of pre-purchase research to find the right equipment at the right price, research that, up until now, hasn't been easy for most dealers to do.

Now, for the first time, lumber and building material dealers from throughout the United States will have the chance to shop and compare the latest in store and yard equipment, all at the same time and all under one roof.

THE MATERIAL HANDLING, STORAGE AND DELIVERY SHOW, February 13-15, '1.994 at the Dallas Convention Center, Dallas, Texas, is a new "Show-Within-A-Show" at the Home Center Shows' BUILDING, REMODELING & DECOR PRODUCTS EXPO.
