Survey Shows Profile of Deolers or NRIDA Show

Paraphrasing a popular advertising slogan, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has undertaken to prove "You're in Good Company at the NRLDA Exposition."

The survey, which was conducted for NRLDA by John T, Fosdick Associates, a New York firm specializing in trade show audience analysis, revealed that the average dealer in attendance at Cleveland was higher "quality" than even the dealers themselves might suspect. To begin with, 82/o ot them were top b(acket officialspresidents, vice presidents, owners and manag:ers of their companies. Although most of them (62/o) owned one-yard operations, the other 38% represented multiple yards with an overall average better than 3 yards per dealer.

More than half the dealers (527o) rcmained through three or four days of the Exposition and a large majority indicated that the major factor influencing their attendance were the product exhibits and demonstrations. Fifty percent of the dealers questioned, each year buy more than a half-million dollars in products and services for re-sale.

Proving that lumber and building material dealers are prog:ressive, forwardlooking merchants, nearly 607o of those attending the NRLDA show indicated that they are now operating in facilities that are new or modernized within the past five years. One-third of those whose stores or yards have not been modernized recently plan to do so within the next two years.

As merchants, they are a highly diversi- fied group, with nine out of ten selling hardware and almost as malry selling paint. Nearly two-thirds sell power tools and well over half of them sell appliances and metal plumbing, heating, and air conditioning specialties. More than one-fourth also carry equipment.

An lmpresslve proportlon of the attendance at the Cleveland Exposltlon inillcateil their lrtention to attend also the I-960 NRLDA Exposltion in San Fra,ncisco. Thirt5r-seven percent of the dealers quostloned stateil they expect to visit the weet coast I\IRLDA show thls November.

Paul V. DeVille. NRLDA's Presidentelect for 1960, stated that he was highly pleased over the results of the survey, especially with regard to its forecast for a large nation-wide attendance in San F rancisco.

"This indicates that eastern and southern dealers who have asked NRLDA to hold its annual Exposition in the West so that they might combine it with a trip.to their West Coast mill sources, are already looking forward to tlte 1960 Building Products Exposition," Mr. DeVille commented. "In addition there are many fine lumber and building material dealers in the West who have never had the opportunity to attend a national building materials show Together, these facts point to another outstanding NRLDA Exposition this year."
