Sqles C.enter Sells Siding

A new idea in plywood siding merchandising ha^s been announced by the Building Material Divrision of Evans Products Company, Portland, Oregon. Evanite dealers are now being supplied with a portable siding display unit called the Evanite Siding Center. Builders and consumers may examine plywood siding in convenient sample panels r'igh,t in the dealer's showroom.

The center holds four Super-Tuf overlay, prime-painted textures including Evanite Smooth, Vee-Plank, Texture l-ll, Board and Batten and a sample of unpainted overlay. Each sample is a generous 2U' x 24' size to adequately show off each Evanite texture.

The display unit takes only 72" x 2" fl.oor space to fit conveniently in every building supply outlet. It rides on caster wheels to permit moving the unit without removing any of the plywood samples. A built-in literature rack dispenses idea folders and technical information.

Dealers report the center substantially 'increases plywood siding sales. According to Evans officials. builders can save time and money in the application of Evanite primepainted sidings because the panels install faster with less labor. Evanite is the only plywood siding on the market that 'has overlay plus two-coat priming. The manufacturer states prime-painting gives protection on the job up to 90 days without a finish coat.

Dealers may get more information on the Evanite Siding Center and Evanite primepainted sidings by contacting their nearest E,vanite building materials distribution center or writing to Building Materials Division, Evans Products Company, 1029 S. W. Alder Street, Portland 5, Oregon.
