A REMARKABTE PRODUGT, A REMARKABLE PROFIT

Unmatched Sales Features

A specialty product with unique sales features commands an attractive price. Dricono fire retardant treated wood has such features: o Dricon FRT wood is the only lowhygroscopic lire retardant wood of its type that carries an FR-S designation from Underwriters Laboratories Inc., for all species listed.

. When Dricon lumber and plywood are in contact with metal truss plates, hardware, plumbing and conduit, there is no greater corrosion than with ordinary untreated wood.

It's been granted a U.S. patent.

Growing Demand

The word is getting around. Architects, contractors and building owners are insisting more and more on Dricon fire retardant treated wood: lt's being promoted to your customers by full-page ads in national architectural, building and component publications.

. Nearly 40 sales development representatives are making presentations to designers, specifiers, owners and other purchasing influences.

Keep It In Stock

Stocking Dricon FRT wood makes sense: r Because of its low moisture pickup, storage problems and yard loss are less than with conventional types of FRT wood. r Promotional literature is available to stimulate sales.

. By stocking a quality specialty product, you can better serve existing customers and attract new ones.
