"How would you like to be eaten alive by bugs? Support mercy killing of old trees! A noble giant of the forest, ruler of his domain for several hundred years deserves a more honorable death than to be eaten alive by insects!

"And you sawmills can go a step further and give these proud trees a dignified memorial iervice by selling the clear lumber to us. We will make mouldings and door jambs from the lumber which will be sent to the Deep South where they love to apply a natural finish rather than hide the beauty of the grain with (ugh) paint.

"Really now, does a 300 year old tree deserve to be converted to plywood and be covered by a rug and walked on? Or be covered with vinyl and be put on a wall, made to look like ash or fruity pecan?

"We will treat your trees with the reverence and respect that they deserve."

Storefront System

Northrop Architectural Systems has an energy-saving new storefront system Arcadia DGF designed specifi- cally for one-inch insuiating glass.

The new 2-l/4" system provides a full 112" penetration of glass into the frame for an extra margin of safety and to accommodate installation variances. As a result of this added glass penetration, it meets all codes and specifications, including glass manufacturers' requirements and those of SIGMA, FGMA and the Uniform Building Code.

Solar Shield for Windows

The energy-saving Vimco solar shield looks like a regular window screen, but stops approximately 757o of the sun's heat outside, while allowing fresh air in. Stopping this much heat on sun-exposed windows can slash air-conditioning costs in many cases and noticeably improve comfort.

During winter months it can also save additional heating dollars by reducing the effects of cold winds blowing across the outside glass, and by reflecting radiant heat back into the home just like it reflects solar rays away in summer.

The fine mesh configuration of the fiber glass screening also stops the smallest of insects, provides daytime privacy inside, yet allows a clear view out.
