SUPPORT MERCY KILLING OF OLD TREES

"How would you like to be eaten alive by bugs? Support mercy killing of old trees! A noble giant of the forest. ruler of his domain for several hundred years deserves a more honorable death than to be eaten alive by insects!

"And you sawmills can go a step further and give these proud trees a dignified memorial service by selling the clear lumber to us. We will make mouldings and door jambs from the lumber which will be sent to the Deep South where they love to apply a natural finish rather than hide the beauty of the grain with (ugh) paint.

"Really now, does a 300 year oldtree deserve to be converted to plywood and be covered by a rug and walked on? Or be covered with vinyl and be put on a wall, made to look like ash or fruity pecan?

"We will treat your trees with the reverence and respect that they deserve. "

A Home Improvement Park

(Continued from page 57 ) the major regional shopping center automatically generates activity on its periphery, as seen by the great number of retail establishments that spring up in the vicinity of major centers.

Another is that there are many home improvement merchants who either don't want or can't afford to be in the center itself, or who don't want the expense of develop' ing their own site on the centet's periphery. For small merchants especially, the home improvement park offers a way to get in on the shopping center action.

Reid's idea is to take a parcel of land, approximately l0 acres in size, on the edge of the center's site and subdivide and improve lots for home improvement retailers who would share the advantages of a common site, with parking and maintenance provided. The home improvement park would be tied in architecturally and from a traffic standpoint with the center.

Sites within the park could be sold to individual retailers who would follow the developer's guidelines, or would be developed with design-build leaseback buildings for suitable tenants.

The advantages for the retailer are several, Reid said. The retailer can capitalize on the traffic drawn to the park as a whole, just as a merchant inside the center can. Parking, site, and maintenance facilities are shared by all, reducing the cost below that of a separate site for each store.

A major advantage is that these home improvement parks would be high-quality, aesthetically appealing developments.
