Security Royol Dutch Poinf Holds Open House for Deolers

In order to acquaint the dealers of California rvith the manufacturing facilities of the firm, executives of the Security Royal Dutch Paint Company, Los Angeles, held open house September 25 and'Xj lor more than 500 retailers and their families at the company plant, 162l No. Indiana Street. A buffet supperivas served durlng the hours of 5:00-8:@ and crews of employes of the concern \rrere on hand to explain paint production methods to the visitors.

Ten years ago this past summer, James L. Tattersall and William S. Dahlem established the paint manufacturing concern in a small 2Ax6A area. Today this progressive organization occupies over 30,000 square feet of productior-r space and plans call for additional development during the next 12 months. The first steps of the major expansiorr program were completed in July and it is planned to hold an annual open house so dealers and friencls may observe each year the progress being made in the production of the various paint products manufactured and distributed by the concern.

Security Royal Dutch Paint Manufacturing Compan-v employs a sales force of eight men headed by Williar'r Sibrel, sales manager, to maintain constant contact rvith the dealers. James Tattersall is production head of the plant and the policy of selling and keeping in close touch rvith the clealers and changes in trend has contributed largely to the growth of this Southern California firm.

"\Me have enjoyed considerable success in producirrg and selling Redlvood oil, house paint, enamel and Plastic Spar to our dealers. A11 of our products are laboratoi'y controlled and tested and are distributed at a price that is attractive to dealer and consumer." said William S.

Dahlem, co-owner of the concern with Tames L. Tattersall, Sr.

Security Royal Dutch presently produces 3,000 gallons of paint per shift and the production schedule can be iricreased to meet a 12,0m gallon daily output as the demand increases for these quality products.
