The Merchant Dear Sirs, Noticed your description of Decrabeam in my husband's August Merchant,

Those I i gh t - w ei g h t beams would solve our remodeling Problems, but how "fake" would theY look? Is there a dealer handling Decrabeam in Arizona so that we could see for ourselves?

Your tnrly, Mrs. Wm. Katharine DaiIY Tucson, Lrizona

We leel we had best let You see a Decrabeam, then you can ilecide. We'ue forward'ed your letter to the cornpny lor the name ol your nearest dealer.

HOO-HOO COMMENTS

Dear Dave, Thank you for your kind com' ments about the "Log and TaIly's" kind comments!

I am also very happy to acknowledge receipt of the pictures of Black Bart Hoo-Hoo Club No. 181 barbecue, and am very sorry that I wasn't there. The food iooks delicious. I am under the impression that TIIE MERCHANT must have a very large and extremely capable photographic staff.

It was a great pleasure to call attention of Hoo-Hoo members to the flne job your magazine is doing for Hoo - Hoo International. This year the motto of the order is, "Make Hoo-Hoo Great in '68"; and I think THE MERCHANT will be hearing lots about us this year. Thank you very much for all the wonderful news and photographs in your great magazine.

Sincerely yours,

Barbara Lee Taylor Assistant Treasurer Hoo-Hoo International Wilwaukee, Wisc.
