lnvisible Protection

Argon gas-filled insulated windows from Crestline reportedly extend the life of draperies, furniture and carpeting by minimizing the fading caused by the sun's ultraviolet rays.

The triple glazed insulated lights are available in geometric panes (diamonds, hexagons and rectangles). For weatherability and durability, extruded vinyl trim overlaps, securins the liehts.

-Tne B'rass Reflection Series is available in two, four, nine and 12 panel doors, three sidelight assemblies and a Sunburst transom design for use above doors.

Metpost's 24" or 30" spike is driven into the ground, leaving a square box protruding 6" above. The wood post is then driven into the box, wherein internal "wedge grips" automatically hold the post firmly in position as in a vice.

The sturdy heavy gauge steel welded device is hot dip galvanized to assure long life and keeps the post above ground to Prevent the wood from rotting.

It is designed for standard 4" x 4" posts for fences, decks, mail boxes, signs and light structures.

To reduce home energy costs, a fine silver coating aPPlied to the outer surface of the interior pane is said to reflect 950/o of the inside heat inside during cold weather while keeping the sun's heat outside during warm periods. The coating does, no1 affect the clarity or appearance of the glass.

Argon is said to have a 300/o higher insulation value than air, resulting in the windows being twice as energy efficient as standard double-glazed models.

Big W Open House

The fundamental changes since 1982 in America's biggest forest products company were outlined by Charley Bingham, executive vice president ol the Weyerhaeuser Co.. in a talk at Marketing Expo '87, a customer open house held June 3. at their huge I:ontana, Ca.. facility.

In the 1970s, Ilingham said, Weyerhauser was a contmodities oriented firm, but "today we're totally' cuslonter oriented and committed to a value added concept for what we seil.

Stressing the seriousness of the flrm's customer orientation, Bingham challenged the dealers present to call him if they weren't happy with the company or its products. "My number is (206) 924-2204, and you can even call me with good comments," he added with a grin. The Washington State-born. Harvard honors graduate said the 8-5-year-old industry giant had "leaned down and realized that we only profit by helplng our customers succeed."

Lynn O. Michaelis. chief economists for the contpany, told the 235 present fbr the catered. sit-down dinner that he loresees l)ouglas fir 2x4s declining in price to $170 in 1988 with spruce prices dropping 30(lr. lle said lumber prices are the lowesl since the 1930s in relation to other construction materials.

I{ousing starts in 1988 will be in the range of' 1.3 to 1.4 million. with most of the decline from this year's numbers occuring in multi-family construction. The lanky economist feels high U.S. personal indebtedness will force a dip in the repair and remodeling sector. Michaelis sees lnterest rates declining in 1987, but notes this could change as "we're at the mercy of foreign investors."

This year's expo is the fourth annual in a series originated by Loren Smith. general ntanager of the F-ontana custonter service center.
