Record Hordboqrd Shipments

Prompted by record-breaking months of shipments of hardboard products, the American Hardboard Assn., at its recent annual convention, adopted aggressive programs to continue this progress in research and public relations.

Industry shipments of all hardboards, for the first 9 months of 1971, show a gain of 19.6 percent, with 3,869,888,000 sq. ft. compared with 3,234,755,000 sq. ft. reported for the same period in 1970.

Shipments of sidings for some o{ these record months amount to what full annual shipments were a {ew years ago.

These come second homes and another 20 percent are for non-housing uses." are available for dealer sales training, as well as for internal company showings, presenting hard-sell facts about hardboard's characteristics and benefits.

The Denver analysts were told that G-P has now prepared to take advantage of an upcoming surge in nonresidential construction and industrial demand as well as a continued high level of new homes. The company's non-residential construction and industrial sales of softwood plywood already are maintaining a slight lead over sales in the expanded singlefamily housing market "and those other markets have only iust started to move."

Markets for concentrated efiorts by the association, in order of importance, are: dealer-builder-remod. eler - 66slpenent manufacturer, followed by industrial fabricator and consumer. For the building professional new literature and sales aids will be created for: the dealer, builder/remodeler and the producer of factory-made components.
