Doscher Appoints New Art Direcfor
Marvin Wax, one of the West Coast's top illustrators, has been appointed art director for Lumbermen's Ad Mat Service according to Jack Doscher, owner of the servic.e.
"This marks the first real change in our weekly service in the past six years" said Doscher. "Retail advertising is becoming a lot more sophisticated, and ads fight harder for recognition than ever before. Wax brings 15 years of creative experience in designing eye-catching ads. His use of humorous characters in need of modernization throws a whole new and refreshine light on lumber dealer advertising, and is i distinct departure from the usual manufacturer type of advertising mats."
Doscher sells his weekly service on a franchise basis to only one dealer per area, and without contract for $45 per quart€r. "The ads either pay ofi, and the dealer renews every three months, or no deal" says Doscher, 'oSix years of success attests to the value of the service, but the appointme.nt of Marvin Wax will double its value." Interested dealers may write: Lumbermen's Ad Mat Service, Box 461, Los Altos, California.
