The Non-Supply

As tle supply is limited, requests will be handled on a first-come, first-serve basis. The decision by the council's distribu' tion study committee to release the report at this low price reflects a desire to close out the project and follows up an earlier decision to send a complimentary copy of phase A and B to universities around the country with a special interest in the distribution and marketing of building products.

The distribution study was launched in 1960 and completed in 18i3.
