Canec-Clad House Exhibited at Fairs
The buying public, builders and architects can best appreciate the qualities of a building material if they can see it with their own eyes in actual use. This is the conviction of Leo C. Monahan, sales promotion manager of Hawaiian Cane Products, Ltd., manufacturers of Canec Structural Insulation. As a result of this policy, several "CanecClad" houses have been built for exhibition purposes. These are attractive little houses showing all the various uses of Canec such as side wall sheathing, plaster base and interior finish, in the latter use showing how Canec can be tinted, painted and wall papered, and also the application of decorative plastic paint treatments.
These houses have been exhibited with great success at the State Fair in Sacramento, at the Tulare-Fresno Fair. and at the Los Angeles County Fair at Pomona.
These displays, illustrating the actual application of modern structural insulation, marked the beginning of an intensive sales promotion campaign by Hawaiian Cane Products, Ltd. Builders and architects from all parts of California have been very much impressed by the ease with which Canec Structural Insulation can be cut and worked, Canec officials state.
The great majority of visitors attending the'exhibits at the fairs were first attracted to Canec's super-smooth surface, according to Mr. Monahan. This new surface is actually part of the Canec board, according to the manufacturers, and is the result of a special process.
At the Sacramento State Fair there were over 4,000 visitors to the Canec booth. This total was more than doubled by the 'r'isitors at the Fresno-Tulare and Pomona
Fairs; a surprising figure which would indicate that despite the times there is a real interest in building and remodelittg.
