Five-Day Educational Program for Lumber Merchants Association Employees

Because of the great need for better trained personnel, the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California has planned a five-day Products Course for employees of its members in Sa.n Francisco. This course will 'concentrate on giving employees a thorough knowledge of the products covered, how to use them to the customers' best advantage, and how to sell them to the best advantage of the dealer. The school will be conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, May 5 to May 9. Night classes will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,7:30 to 9:30.

Arrangements have been made to house the men attending at the Whitcomb Hotel, and all classes rvill be held in the Georgian Room of the Whitcomb.

The instructors will be the finest available on the West Coast, and they will approach their subject from the practical standpoint of mer'chandising at the "over the counter" level of the retail lumber yards, with emphasis on the end-use and application of the products.

The Association rvill appreciate it if members rvill inform them if they plan to send one or more men.

Kenneth J. Shipp, president of California Builders Supply Co., fnc., and his wife have just returned from attending the National Plywood Distributors Association's district and board meetings in Chicago, New York and New Orleans.
