theme-the best u'ay to properly service the do-it-yourself market. In addition, they sought assistance and ideas from their association, the LMANC, and Garehime & Boone, San Francisco wholesale hard,rvare and lumberyartl display experts.
The combined planning of this gloup has resulted in the building of one of the finest elborn'-trade emporiums in Northern California.
All of Speckert Lumber Company's inventory is departmentalized, priced and attractively displayed in a manner tl.rat invites a customer to examine the items first hand. The importance of the latter point has been proven time and again in do-it-yourself merchandising. After a prospectir.e customer has reached out and picked up an item he is interested,in, a sale invariably seems to follorv.
Speckert has capitalized on this point and, in combining it u,ith a sensible store layout and a large diversified inventory, has bid for and won a good share o[ the do-ityourself pot ir-r the Marysville area.
"-\ modern lumberyard today has just got to carry a l'eli-diversified stock of building materials, and merchandise this inventory in much the same manner .rs :l supermarket," S1>eckert, Jr., states. "Altogether too n.ruch lumbervarcl business has lteen lost to hardrvare stores and paint dealers through overemphasis on the volume sale of lumber to one lumbenyard market alone.
"\\-e are norv in a position oi trying lo rcgain our share of the consumer market by offering an inventory of practically everything that goes into a home and its maintenance, and offer it in a manner that the public has come to expect priced and attractively displayed so that they can examine it." ln addition to Speckert's large lumber, plyrvood, paint, hardware, garden too1, plumbing, electrical, floor covering and appliance departments, the yard also features a large porver-tool rental department (along rvith hou.-to-doit information and suggestions on ho'w r-rot to become a do-it-yourself casualty)
In addition to the do-it-yourself h<.rrneorvner market, Speckert Lumber Company has also gone after the large farm transient market in the area. Armin Speckert, Jr., has found that his "5/o ofi on cash purchases" policy has been a big draw with this trade.
On larger sales, Speckert can arrange home improvenrent loans either through Allied Building Credits or through the local Marysville bank. On open accounts, the yard keeps its 30-day accounts irr lir.re by chargir-rg 60/o yter month on the unpaid balance of :rr.ry account that is 60 days or more slow.
Al1 Speckert Lumber Cornpanv departn-rents are advertised separately in the classified secti<ln of Nlarysville's local paper, Armin Speckert points out. They have found that this type of advertising seenrs to prrll the best resnlts because the paper is srnall and the readers of the community tend to read everything in the paper from cover to cover.
NIeanwhile, Armin Speckert, Jr., and John Clarke are continuing to add neilr parts to further improve their modern merchandising machine in order to give the local trade the best possible service and supply "Iiverything for the llome . . . In Just One Stop."

Captain Glavas \vas accompanied by I'olice Oflicer \Vhitey Abney, wllo devotes all of his off-hours from duty rvorking rvith juveniles of the eastside Los Angeles area in an effort to channel their activities along healthy, active schedules-thus helping to eliminate much of the delincluency prevalent in this district of the city.
Bill Gwinn, prominent radio and television star, urged the lumbermen to bring this worthy program to successful conclusion and offered the services of his shor'v to publicize the horne and the efforts of Hoo-Hoo to raise the necessary funds.
"We have now started the ba,ll rolling in the right direction and we feel confident the membership of this great fraternal order of lumbermen will back us up with every dollar needed to build this shop for these boys," said Dee Essley. "It will be a monument to Hoo-Hoo and the lumber industry for many, many years to come. "Those of you who wish to contribute may do so by sending your check to Chuck Lember, secretary-treasurer
