Shoulder Trode Know Their Sruff

Jack Pomeroy and. Don Wilson of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern CaliforniE who manned the LMANC booth at the Oakland D-I-y show, report that the visitors showed special interest in an LMA pamphlet showing how to figure board measure and a display of grade-stamped lumber. "The various grades, and the uses for these grades, were of considerable interest to the home handymen," Wilson declared, "and many people asked me why it wouldn,t be feasible for lumberyards to put up a similar display in their showrooms." They also found the show visitors extremely interested in the various details of summer cabin construction.

In all, the show continued to point out the interest being generated by the do-it-yourself trade in tackling an everincreasing variety of home improvement and remodernization projects. It also appeared a certainty that the retailer providing the information and "know-how" for the popular do-ityourself home projects was bound to get a lion's share of that multi-billion-dollar annual market.

Producer Bentley's next do-it-yourself show will be staged at the Pan-Pacific auditorium in Los Angeles, July 19-29. The 4th annual Oakland show will be November 8-18.
