New CRA Publicity Progrom to Give Deqlers Biggest Sqles Aid

Lumber wholesalers and dealers are participating in a new publicity program undertaken by the California Redwood Association. The program is part of the 1959 CRA promotional campaign, which continues at the accelerated 1958 rate. ft consists of a special "Homeowner" series of feature articles for newspaper use. The articles, with architectural type artwork rather than photographs, are designed to cover a wide range of residential uses of redwood, its

proper application and maintenance and the selection of a proper finish system.

Features are prepared semi-monthly for release to a selected list of metropolitan Sunday newspapers throughout the United States, and to newspapers suggested by lumber dealers.

Announcement of the feature series also offered dealers free CRA ad mats, to help them tie in their local redwood merchandising with the publicity undertaking.

Approximately 11,000 dealers and wholesalers were circularized at the start of the program and invited to take part in the distribution of the feature release series. The response was surprisingly high.

Many publicity-minded dealers asked that feature publicity packets be sent to them, for hand-carrying to local newspaper editors. Others requested that feature material be sent directly to newspapers of their choice.

The feature program, according to Bernarr Bates, CRA publicity director, is unique in that it links the dealer with the CRA to publicize redwood on a mass scale. The program is planned to tie in with a new program of advertising, merchandising and promotion developed by the redwood industry to help building material retailers to compete for their share of the consumer dollar.

The CRA feature packet is intended to appeal to building or home improvement editors. Articles are written to emphasize the special characteristics of California redwood, its versatility and its quality, and to be both informative and stimulating.

Dealers may write the Publicity Department, California Redwood Association, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco 11, California, for free publicity material, or for further information on the feature program.
