New Display-Mobile

Ever hear of a mobile ? In art circles this may be a bit of abstract sculpture consisting of a hank of hair and an old bone suspended from a thread so they swing freely inside a piece of bent wire or an automobile spring.

West coast plywood manufacturers have adapted this idea to the production of a unique customer-stopping display-mobile for retail lumber dealer show-rooms. The display is f':z.tured in the industr-v's hard-hitting "best buy" plywood sales promotion kit norv available to dealers everywhere. The kit is a complete package of tie-in sales aids designed to help dealers exploit to the limit.the industry's new promotion campaign billirrg Douglas fir plywood as "Today's Best Buy."

The nerv display-mobile carries five brightly colored cards in abstrac'. shapes pointing up the "best buy" theme in connection rvith general uses for plyu'ood like nerv building, remodeling, built-ins, boats and farm structures.

Sales ards in the plyrvcod promotibn kit include two big window banners. three ad mats. ten radio commercials and six bin tags featuring the "best buy" theme rvith space to mark the price. In addition. there are sample copies of plywood sales literature and home rvorkshop plans.

The material can be cbtained through plyrvood jobbers and distributors or by s'riting Douglas Fir Plvwood Association, Tacoma 2, Wash. The display-mobile is 50 cents. The packaged kit of sales aids is offered rvithout charge.

The California Redwoqd i10.000 acres in tree farms Association has certified over in the redwood region.

The first solo flight across the Atlantic from New York to Paris was made in an airplane with Sitka spruce formed wings. This plane, "The Spirit of St. Louis," was flown by Charles Lindbergh.
