Nome-- put together by an ingeniously simple method using very itrong cup connectors in such a way that each truss serves as a jig for the next one.

Two men, with one screwdriver and one harnmer, can assemble trusses all day long and spend less than five minutes per truss.

There were other advantages, but these were the mairr ones and Ken and Charlie entl-rusiastically added the Easy-

Fast Truss to their oPeration' including a,set-up for assembly in their yard for those contractors who wanted preassembled trusses.

All they had to do now was to sell them'

"It wal the easiest thing we ever sold," says Ken- O'Neill' "These advantages made sense to contractors right away' All we had to d5 was to show a contractor how it went together, and he was sold. After the trusses were on the mariiet for a month or two, we began getting reports'"

Cecil Miller, the superintendent for Duc and Elliot, said he was erecting and setting 24 truss-es complete. in only 45 minutes, usingJust three min. Fred Smith, running.jobs for Wy-Ben Proferties, Inc., says that his men put the roofs on-three good-sized'apartment houses in six hours-that includ-es lifTing them to the second floor plate line, and raising tl-rem-tle equivalent of .putting on ceiling- joists and sti'ongbacks, laying out, cutting a.nd raising lafters, gable studslpurlines,-sw;y braces, and all on a- regular roof.

Charlie Ellis added, "ft's been a real source of satisfaction to us, rvho are used to the cut-price attitude of builders, to rrusres for two homes .",

As an afterthought,' he added: "It's a door-opener for selling other lumber to contractors, too."

"We're slo tlrppy about this item," Dealer O'Neill explainecl, "that rvi'vl taken the California distributorship for Ir at-td are looking for franchised dealers in other parts of the state."

In this one small area, in their first year with the new item. 25.000 trusses were sold. Another example of how a dealer who keeps up-to-date on developments can increase his profits.
