75th Anniversary Celebrated

Buena Park Lumber and Hardware Co., now celebrating its 75th anniversary year, has won Home Center of the Year honors in a contest sponsored by Vance Publishing Co. for stores serving the d-i-y consumer market.

The award, in the special display category, was for a display reminiscent of an Old West movie set.

Featured were vanities, mirrors, medicine cabinets and lighting fixtures for modern baths.

A half-dozen rustic store fronts, complete with chimneys and railed porches, lined the back wall of a 30' display. They were built with barn boards the Buena Park, Ca., retailer had purchased in l9ll to sell for paneling and shelving. Twenty five vanities were placed along the front of the l0' deep display.
