Hammock Premlum Swlngs

Home centers and building material dealers reportedly can profit from what is termed a "hot new program for a cool new product."

Consumers are offered a 60% saving on a brand name hammock as one aspect of a complete merchandising program by Filon Division to promote the sale of its new Cool-Rib fiberglass panels. Other facets of the program provide extensive co-op advertising for dealers, free listing in national advertising and several other benefits for in-store promotion.

The special hammock offer will be featured in Filon's national advertising. To get the hammock, consumers must send labels from panels directly to the company-not to the dealer.

The new Cool-Rib panels feature the premium "architectural look" but cost no more than ordinary corrugated panels. In cool pastels, the solid-color panels block out much more of the sun's heat rays than do ordinary panels.

Epoxy Patch Used by G-P

Epoxy-patched repairs are being used by Georgia-Pacific Corp. in current manufacture of 4x8 and 4x9 fir plywood siding panels to provide a better appearance factor.

The epoxy repairs replace the traditional boat-shaped wooden patches that have been characteristic of plywood products.

Manufacture of the new fir siding by G-P marks a return after several years to manufacture of a Douglas fir "appearance item."

Studies show that epoxy-filled patches more readily blend into the panel's overall appearance after painting or staining, with the new type of repair less conspicuous than conventional repairs.

G-P's new siding panel is being made in two grades, select and premium.
