J. H. Boxter & Co. Disploy Boord Aids in Fire-Prevenfion Week
fn conjunction witlr the recent national F ire Prevention Week, the Huntington Park fire department, under the direction of Captain Elmer L. Hoisington, put on a showroom display, open to the public, in a prominent location in downtown Huntington Park. The object was to show the publie, through graphic visual exhibits, the many common household hazards which, if neglected or not understood, can (and do) lead to many disastrous fires,
"A major objective," said Captain Hoisington, "was to acquaint people with the many efrective new fire retardant or fire resistant materials now on the market which can reduce many common fire hazards. We are interested in promoting the use of such items as approved fireresistant drapes, fire-retardant paints on ecoustical tile, fire-protected wood paneling and lumber."

A feature of the exhibit was a display board entered by J. H. Baxter & Co., producers of BAXCO Pyresote-treated lumber and plywood. Ttris fire-protected material has been used in many Southern California schools, hospitals and public buildings for both decorative and structural use. It is often specified for use in places where untreated wood cannot meet building code requirements. In many parts of the country, BAXCO Pyresoted lumber, when used for roof decking and purlins, is rated as incombustible and qualifies the structure for reduced fire-insurance rates.

A typist enters billing information through the standard typewriter keyboard' Results are electronically printed on the invoice. Precalculating and invoice checking are eliminated.
Automatic daily totals, automatic discount calculations and other special automatic features are custom-programmed into each Monrobot D( to meet each lumber dealers need.
The machine was enthusiastically received at the National Retail Lumber Dealers' convention in Cleveland and the Northeast Lumber Dealers' show in New York.
