Sculptured Wood Products

The Michael-Regan line of sculptured wood products has taken on a colorful new name and look to increase consumer appeal. Now called Spectrum Spindles, the do-it-yourself and home improvement products are available with a modular display unit-Spectrum Spindles Showcase.

Showcase features modular design, with each free-standing unit occupying approximately 4 sq. ft. of floor space. As businessgrows, the dealer can easily add additional design-coordinated units to handle the entire Michael-Regan line, which includes turned posts and spindles, balusters, railing, shelving systems, multi-purpose legs, candleholders and other decorator items. According to v.p./marketing J. W. Smith, this is the industry's broadest line, with over 300 design-coordinated products.

Display units are designed for simple stocking and easy customer selection, holding the product upright at all times. In addition to concentrating popular items at point-of-service, the Showcase stores consumer literature. For dealers who wish to modernize present racks or adapt gondolas to Spectrum Spindles displays, the firm offers an easy-to-install display header which doubles as a ceiling poster.

In addition to the display material, Spectrum Spindles are supported by a variety of new merchandising tools.

Seven in a row

Making it the seventh in a row, Jim Oakley, Oakley Plywood and Door, Morgan Hill, Ca., invited customers and suppliers to an all day golf tourney and dinner at Hill Country in Morgan Hilt.

About 80golfers hacked and hewed their way around in perfect weather.

Cam McArthur doffed honors with a low gross of 63. Whitey Matthews was 2nd low with a 67 Low net to Art Trevino, 2nd low net to Aubie Harness. Wilt Fernandez capped the honors for longest drive. Closest to the hole was Rick Strauch, Ace Lumber, Santa Cruz. Cam McArthur walked up again to get a prize for most birdies while most pars went to Whitey Matthews. Blushing John Thompson walked away with most 5s, an award he would just as soon forget. Alvin Larrios was this year's Most Courageous Golfer.

The annual trophy for low net was awarded to Art Trevino. Bud Cligny announced that this trophy would now be known as the Ralph Bishop Memorial Trophy in memory of long-time Oakley staffer Ralph Bishop, who died last fall. Bishop was a well-known plywood man who came to the San Francisco Bay Area from Denver.

Various other prizes and awards were garnered by Bob Anderson, Neil Keefer, Bill Shelton, George Hansen,

Distance records for traveling probably go to Gary and Buster Long from Fresno and Dave Damon from Cloverdale.

Hill Country is also the site for storage of many vintage airplanes. A highlight of the evening was the firing up of a 45 year old Ford Tri Motor that was older than some of the lumbermen there. Although it took nearly l0 minutes to get those engines all beating at the same time, it finally did take off and provided a measurable lift to a memorable event.
