Pocific Dropery Wolls Ofier Versqtile Use

A startlingly new decorator divider, manufactured by Pacific Fence and Wire Company and using the trade name: Pacific Drapery Walls, has been introduced on the American market.

Pacific Drapery Walls provide a low cost way of adding versatility, color, charm, and flexibility to hotels and motels, hospitals, restaurants, b owlin g al I ey s, cocktail lounges, floral shops, stores, offices, and even outside areas such as patios, gardens, and swimming pools.

Durable and substantial, Pacific Drapery Walls require a minimum of installation labor. Custorners have a choice of steel wire or aluminum mesh. The latter are anodized in a wide variety of decorator metal tones. Steel wire walls are painted and custorners are given a wide variety of color tones.

Pacific Drapery Walls are available in one-eighth, one-quarter, and half inch mesh. Manufacturers point out that in estimating square feet required, one should allow a minimum of 10 per cent addition to achieve the full drape effect.

Freedom of air flow is guaranteed by the mesh walls without sacrificing decor.

Pacific Draper Walls eliminate the high cost factor associated with other divider equipment. Low cost and ease of installation are, manufacturers believe, key reasons Pacific Drapery \Malls will be popularly accepted.

The anodized aluminum type, manufacturers point out, provide a "custom drape" effect not matched by any other decorator divider on the market.

Operators of re staurants, cocktaii Iounges, clothing stores, specialty shops, and bowling alleys who have seen Pacific Drapeqy Walls are agreed the new deco:ator divider provides "eye appeal" and tests indicate their durability and flexibility can- not be surlrassed.

"Movability" will be a popular feature. Installation is simple and commercial firms and institutions desiring an "eye appeal" decorator divider will discover steel wire and anodized aluminum walls the amswer.
