WANTED: New Moulding ldeos

A nationwide search Ior outstanding architectural uses of mouldings has lrcen laurrt:ht:d by the Western Wood Nloulding Producers, Warrt'n C. Jimerson, manager of the association rePorrs.

"Revival o[ intercst in usc oI mouldings as a design clemcnt" both exterior and intcrior. has taken the industry completely by surprise," Jimerson states. "Wc are gctting requests lrom all over the r:ountry from dcsigners, architects, magazine editors and consum('rs {or illu,.trations and ideas on how to use mouldiugs."

N{t'mbers of the Western Wood N{oulding Producers Association are lreing asked to poll their own customers in various parts of the countrl- for photographs and leads on good uscs of mould' ings. In addition, the association is actually dcsigning and photographing dozens of new moulding ideas showing how to use mouldings in decorating a wall, doors, cntrancc ways, etc.

Immediate plans call for production of a color{ul booklet showing a large number of ideas on how mouldings r,an improve the appearanoe of homes, offices, etc. The Western Wood Products Association, whose members supply a large percentage of the lumber used in moulding production, will produce the booklet and distribute it nationwide. ln addition, WWPA will run national consumer and trade magazine advertisements sholving how mouldings can ,be uscd and ofiering thc booklet.

Backing up the advertising campaign is a publicity effort by the moulding producers' new public relations agency' Lonie Companl, of Portland, Oregon.

Jimerson asked that information on homes or offices which illustrate good architectural or decorating use of mouldings be sent to Western Wood N[oulding Producers, 2041 S. W' s8th Ar.enue, Portland, Oregon.

"The almost universal interest in moulding information and design ideas has caught our industry ofi balanoe," Jimerson re' ports. "As a result, we have undertaken a program to produce and supply information in printed form and through publicitv articles in national consumer magazines."
