New Do-lt-Yourself Slucco Woll Pockoge lntroduced

"Stucco-Kit" a new self-contained package that includes all the necessary materials to prepare walls for stucco, has been introduced by K-I"ath Corp.

Each Stucco-Kit contains enough StuccoRite (one-step application of reinforcement and waterproofed building paper) and nails to do 100 square feet of area. Stucco-Kit was introduced to dealers less than 30 days ago. "Convenience" is the nearly unanimous comment from all dealers.

The dealer and his sales people can sell Stucco-Kit as a package in a minimum of time. Compare this with gathering small quantities of assorted materials and then having to figure the area to be covered and tell the customer how to do it. Some dealers say that this old fashioned way can take as long as 25 minutes.

The attractive red, white and blue package, complete with display rack, is not only an attractive display but carries installation instructions on the outside cover. The instructions are cleverly spelled o'ut in cartooned style and will convince the customer how easy the application is before he even opens the package. Additional written and picture instructions and a supply of nails are inside.

Dealers who are stocking Stucco-Kit have stated that this is not only a convenience in selling the customer who needs backing material for small stucco jobs but can be a sales builder for the customer who har wanted to do this kind of work but has brren afraid because he feels it's too difficult. The simple rne-step application makes a buyer out of him.

Stucco-Kit can be used as backing for exterior stucco walls, brick work inside or out, or as waterproof reinforcement behind ceramic tile in showers and tubs.
