Royclcote ll4oinlenonce

New production teehniques have enabled Masonite Oorporation to improve the appearance and maintenance qualities of its Royalcote woodgrain line, according to Robert Gillis, merchandise manager.

The panels now have a medium gloss. This may be heightened, Gillis suggested, by applying a paste wax and buffing it to the desired luster.

While ordinary maintenance is carried out by an occasional damp wiping with a sponge dipped in water or water and detergent, common household stains yield readily, also.

Wax crayon, lipstick, oil and grease should be wiped of with a soft cloth followed by an application of carbon tetrachloride, a common household cleaning agent.

Remove alcohol stains, household bleach, vineg'ar, most ink and mercurochrome by swabbing with a damp sponge or cloth dipped in water containing a mild detergent. Eliminate pencil marks with a nonabrasive eraser.

Royalcote woodgrained panels are Ve" thick hardboard especially designed to resist denting and abrasion and processed for high fidelity reproduction of the woodgrain by a lithographic process. All have coloreoordinated grooves. Color-matched nails for installation, putty sticks for touch-up and wood or metal moldings simplify application and give top appearance.

Seosonql ltems

Dealers can spnr impulse sales by creating a special section for seasonal items, according to an Aromatic Red Cedar Closet Lining Manufacturers Association director.

Since many dealers feature seasonal items in their newspaper advertising, it would be even more effective to tell the reader to look for the item in this special section. It could be given a name, such as "Big Value Aisle."

Director Lee Seabolt points out that many homeowners will be looking for moth-repellent storage space in the weeks ahead as they go to Put awaY winter clothes and bedding,

"Lining a closet with cedar is a natural handyman project at this time of year," he asserts, "and it is an easy thing to suggest to the home handyman in advertising or an in-store display."

Regular customers also would appreciate arspecial section for seasonal projects, Seabolt adds, because so often a homeowner needs a t'reminder."

Since an average closet can be lined with aromatic red cedar for approximately $50' it fits into the budget of most weekend carpenters.
