Denver Door Clinic Scores

Gittings Lumber Co., Denver, Co., has found a way to provide a valuable service to its customers and increase sales of doors. About 130 dealers and pre-hangers from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and New Mexico attended a door seminar sponsored by Gittings which covered everything they ever wanted to know about doors -construction, warranties, care and finishing, commercial standards.

"Lots of people have grown into their jobs-or have been thrown into them-and they really do not have the background information they need," said Bill Yeager, area sales representative for Simpson Door Co. "This seminar provided that information."

The seminar, the idea of Jeff Regan and Don Quist of Gittings, was a variation of what they call the "road show" which is held every spring in different locations.

AI Aarhaus, manager of training and development for Simpson Door Co., presented information on stile and rail doors at the one day seminar. Pete Dempsey, Western sales manager for Simpson, talked about flush doors and Steve Hinds, a Peachtree representative, discussed metal doors.

In addition to the presentations, which included a film tour of the Simpson stile and rail door manufacturing plant and a discussion about the differences in various species of wood, the participants viewed displays, got a preview of Simpson's latest new stile and rail door. the Empress, and received literature packets to take home.

"There were a lot of good questions asked during the seminar," said Aarhaus. "People came out with more questions than they had going in, but at least they now know where to go for answers."

Olympic Traffic Marathon

Shippers in the Southern California area are preparing for the Olympics with contingency plans for moving their freight.

With more than 4 million tourists invading the Los Angeles area, from July l0 to August 20, including about 600,000 coming to the games, traffic is expected to increase proportionately.

Two motor rate carrier committees reportedly are asking the California Public Utilities Commission to approve surcharges on any material moving within a 35 mile radius of the Los Angeles Coliseum for a period of 15 days before the Olympics until 15 days after the Olympics.
