New Masonite Display

Masonite Corporation's new display for lumber dealers was designed by Harper Richards. The front of the display is Leatherwood, painted red, and the Masonite Man is formed of routed Black Tempered Presdwood. Up to forty panels of Masonite Presdwood 4x4 in size, or smaller. will fit into one side of the island-type display. Panels are easily loaded and removed for impulse sales to handymen. In the installation pictured, the dealer has marked the price of the individual panels with chalk. Mounted on the panel of perforated Presdwood are photographs featuring home, store and farm uses of the ,company's hardboards. Sales captions are underneath. At the front left is a literature rack. and hanging on the side is a sample pack. On the opposite side is a Plyron shelf for the showing of paint, brushes and similar allied items. There is room also for displaying a predecorated panelboard. The island-type diplay is 4l feet wide, 6 feet high and 2l feet deep. A smaller-capacity one-sided display, for positioning against a wall, is identical in appearance, though its depth is just 16 inches.

Construction Activity in September, 1952

Expenditures for new construction in September totaled $3,112 million, about the same as in August, according to preliminary estimates of the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Building Materials Division, U. S. Department of Commerce. Dollar outlays exceeded the 3-billion mark for the third consecutive time in September, to round out the largest quarterly volume on record-$9.3 billion, in contrast to $8.7 billion in third quarter 1951.

fn most major construction categories, activity during September continued at high levels which is usual for this time of year. Private expenditures totaled $2,037 million, and public $1,075 million.

Comparing the record volume for July-September 1952 with that for third-quarter 1951, private residential building and public utilities construction rvere higher, and private nonresidential building q7a5 leyls1-each by 9 per cent. Private new construction activity as a whole was up by 3 per cent. All major types of new public construction, except public housing, also showed an increase over the year; the entire public sector was 13 per cent greater.

For the first 9 months combined, private expenditures this year, at $16.1 billion, were slightly under last year's total. In contrast, public construction-;totaling $8.1 billion -was up by a fifth, largely as a result of increased Federal spending for military, atomic energy, and defense plant facilities, particularly in the first half of the year.
