Combincrtion Counter Displcry and Scmple Box

This new sales tool is now being offered to dealers who handle Johns-Manville building materials. It is a compact sample box when closed. When opened, it is a counter display that takes up only one square foot of space. Inside the cover, which hinges back, is a full color illustration of a living room. This shows how a room will look after ceiling panels and wall plank are in place. An enlarged section of the lighting joint shows how nails are concealed. The box contains two samples.

From these samples, customers can visualize finished rooms yet the whole display takes up only a minimur:r amount of a dealer's valuable space.
