N-AWLA'S Sqles-troining Progrom Pushed Back to Februory Stort

New York City, N.Y.-The Sales-training Program of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Assn. has been pushed back from its scheduled September 1959 start to February 1960 because of additional time needed for preliminary preparation work and planning. The original plan of holding four meetings in each of nine centers will be changed to three meetings in 12 regions to minimize travel of enrolles. Region 8 will be Los Angeles-San Francisco-Santa Barbara, and Region 9 is Portland-Seattle-Vancouver, B.C. The program will be sufficiently flexible to permit arranging of meetings in alternating cities within the region, or in a single city if more convenient to enrolles, who may attend in any region for their convenience.

While the cooperative program is sponsored by the NationalAmerican, enrollments are not confined to salesmen of N-AWLA members but, in the best interests of the National Wood Pro- motion Program, is open to salesmen of all lumber wholesalers, manufacturers or commission men. N-AWLA President J. Ward Allen has received acceptances as cooperating endorsers from national associations including the California Redwood Assn., West Coast Lumbermen's Assn., Western Pine Assn., Natl. Lumber Manufacturers Assn., and Wholesale Lumbermen's Assn. of Southern California, among many others. These associations will be listed in a revised brochure of "IIow to Sell More Lumber Profitably" being prepared for wide distribution within the industry.
