OtD FAVORITE
Dear Sirs, Enclosed you will find my payment of $4 for a year's subscription to The Merchant.
I have enjoyed reading it - starting with the old California Lumber Merchantsince 1924, when I was in the employ of the old Hammond Lumber Co., located at 2010 So. Alameda St., Los Angeles.
Have retired and enjoy life here in Aptos by the sea. Regards to all,
Sincerely, Lloyd D. Milne

Set a sales record !
OU CAN "hang up" a profitable sales record on perforated hardboard. This all-wood material, with multi-holes, is desigrred to accommodate flexible wallstorage in rooms, closets and in the garage. Thus it is a specific "hanging" panel. To oohang up" a sales record on this one product is not a play on words. With little dort, sales can be multiplied, because perforated hardboar.d is an economical answer to a common need of most home owners.
Many building material dealers already recognize the practical value of perforated hardboard using panels on the walls of their stores, as part of display racks and other places on which they hang merchandise. Turn these spots of usage into demonstrations of the utility and versatility benefits for the home owner. Sales will result.

Perforated hardboard is available in /g" thickness, 4l x B' and 4/ x 4" in dimension, and in /4" thickness (heavyduty), 4' x 8' in dimension; some garage liners can be obtained in 16 ft. Iengths. These panels come perforated from top to bottom, or with tlre bottom third left plain to create a wainscot effect.
Hardboald has come a long way from when it was merely a plain brown or buff colored material. Today, panels are available unfinished, primed and ready to paint, or in a wide range of wood grain finishes.
These are general points which can be passed on to the customer. You are the logical contact for the consumer because hardboard is distributed nationally through the building material dealer.
