Mini Remodeling Packages

A S/ORD to the wise is sufficient. fI

For a relatively small additional expense, when a homeowner is remodeling a room, he can modernize the closet by installing a mothproof cedar wood lining. The alert building materials salesman can make the suggestion or plant the idea when the materials are purchased for the remodeling.

If the homeowner's wife is present when the salesman suggests the cedar closet, the sale has a better than even. chance of being made, experience has shown. Women enjoy the fragrance of a cedar closet and appreciate its effectiveness in preventing moths and their larvae from infesting valuable garments and other woolens.

So, a sale of aromatic red cedar clciset lining really is a bonus sale on many home improvement jobs.

"Even if there is no closet in the current recreation room project, the salesman who mentions the value of a cedar closet has implanted an idea which may sprout sooner or later," said a spokesman for the Aromatic Red Cedar Closet Lining Manufacturers Association. 'oChances are, that home will acquire a cedar closet in a hall or ,bedroom and that the order will be placed with the dealer whose alert salesman saw an opportunity."

Salesmen know that cedarizing a closet is an ideal weekend project for the home-handyman. The iedar pieces are tongue and grooved on both sides and ends for easy fitting and quick nailing. 'Ihe'wood is easily sawn and the fragrance is an incentive for the craftsman.

Selling a number of cedar closet lining orders, of course, builds up a dealer's volume and profits. Besides, it's an easy bonus sale that is appreciated by salesmen, too.
