DOOR STORE

Dear Dave,

I could not let pass this op- portunity to congratulate you on your fine story, "The Door' Store," and also Delaney Sash and Door Co. It's like selling doors to opportunity.

Doors have always been taken for granted even though we open and close doors many times a day. A door in a home or business is like a necktie on a person. A person never appears dressed without a necktie.

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your fine article. It shows insight in a company that enhances business by creative selling.

Sincerely yours, Aram Mardian

President Glen Mar Door Mfg. Co. P.O. Box 6308 Phoenix. Ariz. 85005.

The Merchant Magazine

Yours Very Truly,
