Get Gunrontee in Writing, Worns Plywood Executive

"Tell 'em and sell 'grn-fu1 don't put it in

writing."

That seems to be the line followed bv all too manv building materials salesmen when it co-e-s to guaranteei, according to Monroe W. Pollack, sales vice president, United States Plywood Corporation.

Mr. Pollack warns that as a consequence, the buying public often believes materials, such as exterior sidings, are "guaranteed" when actually they are not.

Such claims as "never need replace," "never needs painting," "lasts a lifetime," are commonplace, he says, but are seldom put on paper. Ilowever, U.S. Plywood, he points out, puts its guarantees in writing.

Occasion for his blast is announcement that his firm is extending a written guarantee "for the life of the building" to purchasers of USP's complete line of Weldwood sidings, which meet FHA standards.

Examples, he says, include Weldwood Duraply, Duratex, Formtex. Earlv American and Lauan 1-11.
