Hardware

(Continued from page 9) supplies easing the'70s inventory problem. Another 23 to 26oh gain seems quite possible in this new era of the 80's first year.

The possibility of this attainment in the industry will be aided by many basic programs that are now available to the hardware/home center dealers from their association.

Leading these industry aids are professional studies that pinpoint the consumer and his buying habits. Professionals assist dealers in site selection and site evaluation of present locations. The professional help is available to dealers to aid efforts that heretofore has not been available.

Yes, the 80s will see a continued improvement in dealer performance in all areas of the hardware/ home center retailing industry. No longer does the hardware/home center lack professionalism. With this comes success in improved performance and improv- ed performance means improved profit measures, plus continued profit performance.

The 80s are exciting to anticipate!
