DISTRIBUTION IS OUR GAME

An Old Reliable Friend

We've sold a "mountain of Marlite" in the 30 years that we've distributed this ftne line. Other wall coverings come and go, but Marlite endures. Why?

QUALITY the unique 9 step manufacturing process, super-tough Melamine plastic ftnish, top graded hardboard all put Marlite in a class by itself. Marlite may cost a few cents mor€ per foot, but its beauty and superb quality lives on. Remember the quality is long remembered while the price is soon forgotten. When your customer - D.l.Y. or Commercial applicator wants the BEST, it pays to stock and sell PROFITABLE MARLITE.
