A very efficient fixture is the combination glass stock and cutting -unit, consuming little space but holding a- good quantity of glass. Measuring and cutting glass on the fixture rs easy.

The basic unit of this fixture is an open-faced rack & high, 4 wide and 3' deep, 3/4" interior-type fir plywood. Separations of f" interior-type fir plywood make an assortment of compartments. The glass-cutter swings freely from one end of the fixture, and a corner drawer catches snipped pieces of glass.

"This fixture cost us one-fourth of a purchased one," Budd said, "and we are able to make it blend with our showroom colors by paint spraying it any shade we like. Making these fixtures took irs only a few hours, but the results are highly satisfactory."

Another rack, for displaying fir plywood, consists of a box-like base of 1" interior-type fir plywood, 4A'x3A'x6". One-inch clowels from l8" to 40" high were inserted in the base on six-inch centers, so that different lengths of plyrvood can be easily stocked arrd displayed. Casters on the base provide easy changes to suitable locations.

"Sheets in this upright position have greater appeal, and our fir plywood sales have more than tripled because now we can show this material in our showroom," Budd commented.

"Previously, it was just stocked in our lumber shed and was not in sigl-rt to the average showroom customer. We intend to build more units like this, so we can show more plywood at different parts of the showroom. The demand for this product is increasing and we enjoy a very pleasing mark-up on each sale." he added.
