1984 Hardware Show a Biggie

The Hardware Industry Week/ National Hardware Show, annual marketing event for the hardlines industry sponsored by the American Hardware Manufacturers Association, will very nearly fill the five floors of McCormick Place and McCormick Place West in Chicago, Il., Aug. 12-16, with thousands of lawn and garden, outdoor power, hardware, automotive, building supply and home center buyers in attendance.

Programs will give exposure to innovative merchandising, product, packaging and display unit ideas as well as provide education and opportunities of value.

Hardware Industry Week is built around the National Hardware Show, a trade exhibition showcasing hundreds of thousands of products of over 2,700 exhibitors. The Retail Concepts Center, created by the National Retail Hardware Association/ Home Center Institute at the request of the AHMA, provides retailers with an in-depth view of current trends in merchandising and in-store design.

The New Products Exposition gives buyers a quick overview of what is new in hardlines. Although over 800 new products were displayed last year, the space allotted has been significantly expanded.

The Seminar/Keynote Address Program, a forum for discussion of issues with an impact at all levels of the hardline industry, is developed with the assistance of the eight major industry trade associations which have been officially designated as HIW/NHS participating associations. Jerry Barton, chairman, Belknap, Inc., will present the keynote address.

Old Line Retailer Expands

Additions of new departments and expansion of familiar ones have transformed the 36 year old Bourget Bros. Building Materials in Santa Monica, Ca., into a new operation. Open throughout the remodeling project, the store has made every effort to maintain its philosophy "The Customer Comes First" during the project, according to Larry Bourget, president.

Additions include a greenhouse for gardening and landscaping supplies, indoor and outdoor plants and a complete line of garden tools. Jose Galvan and John Navroth are in charge of this department.

Sprinklers and drain systems will be the specialty of the expanded plumbing department which also offers all products needed for maintenance and remodeling. Roy Kinslow, Dan Schickler and Bob Steingraber are in charge.

The renovated building material department will continue to provide brick, cement blocks, building stone, plastering and drywall supplies as well as electrical, heating and insulation material, hardware, hand and power tools. Delivery is available.

The Jewelry Arts Department is a newcomer offering unusual gifts, mineral specimens, fossils and materials and tools for jewelry making. Dave Champion and AnthonY Chavez are responsible for this section.
