New Packaging To Introduce Vivid Colors Steamship Companies Open Ofiftces In Hardware Merchandising

Yale locks, door closers and builders' hardware will soon be sold in gay, colorful boxes that will bring vivid colors to the d e a 1e r s' shelves. Announcement of the n e w packaging program was made by Mark A. Miller, assistant general manager, Stamford, Conn., Division. The Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company.

The new program u'as developed by Meade Johnson, marketing manager, who devoted two years to intensive study of hardware packaging practices, color, and the uses of boxes in other industries as merchandising aids.

The result of Mr. Johnson's u'ork is a series of new bright red boxes with the "Yale" trade name, picture of the product, and advertising texts variously presented in blue, yellow, silver, black and white.

When the new boxes make their appearance in dealers' stores later this year, they will mark the complete abandonment by Yale & Towne of the old green-and-white hardware box used by the company without change for almost twenty years.
