Sidings Sidelight

.L '\ciazy quilt" warehouse was Nantahala Lumber C'ompany's solution t,o a shortage of space in which to s'tore and d'isplay a wide variety of Weldw,o,od ,sidings. The firm is located in Franklin, North Ca,rolina.

Company manager Brill Zickgraf knew he needed jan annex to house ,the growing s'tock of sidings necess'ary to meet cus'tomer demand.

Logically enough, he elected to finish the sidings warehouse rvith Un,ited S,tates Plywood s,idings.

Then inspiration took ,over.

CRAZY QUIlr worehouse wos solulion for Nonloholo Lumber Compony. Frcnklin, N, C., which found it hod run oul of spoce in which lo slore ond disploy Weldwood sidings. Monoger Bill Zickgrof odded qn onnex ond sided ir with U'S' Plywood sidings cach painled o difierent color.

Zickgral de,cided to side the warehouse wirth a sidesh'ow of sid'ings -a ,patchwork p,otpourri of U, S. Plywood panels, set side by side so tiha,t customers sight sidings outsride befo,re they even get inside the siding showcase.

To comple,te the crazy quilt effect, Zickeraf pa,inted each siding sample'a special shade.

Crazy quilt?

Crazv like a fox.

Mqsonite Designs Foll-out Shelter

Based. on 'the 'th-eory that a residen'tial fall-out shelter should have pea,ce-time uses, too, Masonite Corporation has 'designe'd a plan which suggests dual-purpose furn,ishings.

D,ay-to-day uses might be for a darkroom, a home movie or slide projeition roo , a meeting place for Cub or Boy Scouts, .a sewing ioo-, 'ot a retreat for s,tudy, conversat'ion or hobby pursuits' Specifi,c built-,ins are shown in the plan, ,together with shelter layouts. Made of Mascvnite hardboards and lumber, the iterns are:

1. Peg-Board wall for stor'age.

2. Pa:ntry cabinet for food, books, first-aid kits, radio- Peg-Board sides add to its storage capacity.

3. Folding storage bed which provides a dry pla'ce to sleep, plus storiage for blankets. It folds up againsit the wall when not in use' In day-to-day use, irt serves as a desk for a ho,me office.

4. Finished floor of Tempered Presdwood to keep out dampness'

5. Storage and seating bed.

6. Wardrobe chiefly lor the storage of bulky items. Suspended over it is a folding storage bed.

The plan ,also suggests overcoming the bleak look of concrete or concreti block walls by covering rthem wi'th a woodgrained hardboard paneling.

On ,thi,s, Masonite's color consultant, Faber B'irren, says:

"A11 human beings are responsive to their environment' In fall-out shelters there will be psychic faotors to attend to, tension and prolonged confinement, all of which offer a ch'ance to put color to practical use."

Bright co ors, he said, s,hould be used in small touches only. Ideal tones fo'r Peg-Bo'ard areas, for example, are soft yellow, refined pink, beige and "particularly blue-greens and aquas which are the iireot 'complement of human complexion and give it a flattering appearance." -fhough it shows typrical shelter floor plans, the "Equipping Your Fallout Shelter" plan does not counsel on rthe basic construc't'ion, referring readers to a booklet published by the Offic,e of Civil and Defense Mobitrization.

Dealers wishing to make available plan No. AE-383 to their custom,srs may obtain an initial supply of 15 copies by wri'ting the Masonite liome Service Bureau" S$ite 2037, 111 W. Washington St., Chicago 2, Ill.
