And Selected Sales Aids

Overhead Railings

Solid red oak ceiling rails that snap over existing ceiling grids without the aid of tools are new from Prime Industries.

Rails fit over standard grid systems by simply clipping them together with the metal fasteners snugly inlaid in the interior grooves of the rails.

Rails are double coated with fine satin lacquers and offered unfinished or in light, medium or dark finishes.

The 2"-wide rails come in 2' and 4' cross rails and 8' wall and main rails.

Rack'em Up

A new tool rack from Akro-Mils incorporates a double deep design to hold twice the number of tools in half the space taken up by older style, narrower racks.

Each cabana, made of flame retardant nylon taffeta, can be staked down with shocked corded poles like a tent or held down by filling its bottom pockets.

The two-man, triangle-shaped cabana comes in blue and white, measuring 3-l/2 ft. high by 96 in. wide by 54 in. deep. The larger, trapezoid model is pink and blue, measuring 4-l/2 ft. by 94 in. by 49 in.

The Time-All unit comes in plug-in and a tabletop version.

On A Roll

An energy efficient, weathertough horizontal rolling window is new from Capitol Products.

Other energy features include an interlock at the meeting rail to reduce air infiltration and water leaks, a ductile corner sealant, full corner fins, and a drainage hole flap that opens to release water but closes to the wind.

Manufactured from durable filled polypropylene, the rack reportedly won't bend, even under a full load of heavy tools.

It measures 24-l/8" wide x 2-3/4" high x 6" deep, and has 96 separate spaces for tools and four slots for wall mounting.

Its dark gray color is molded in.

Each includes three nylon tote bags for carrying cabana, poles and hardware. Bags may be un-zipped and used as lawn chair covers or completely unfolded and used as a 28" x 72" beach blanket.
