Richheimer Modernizing Systems will launch its "school" for modernization contractors and dealers on November 7, Chairman Herbert Richheimer announces. Each training 5s5slen-trvo per month-will include 120 hours of intensive instruction in all phases of successful management.

Richheimer also revealed that Charles Abrams, president

Qualily Redwood

of Westchester Modernization Company in White Plains, N.Y., has been named president of RMS. Abrams had been for some months selling a highly detailed "Operating Manual" for home modernizers. That manual-a 400-page volume-has been incorporated into the series of management guides on which the RMS training is based.

Other RMS officers are Don Moore, vice-president, and Seymour L. Morgenroth, secretary-treasurer. Moore is former national executive director of the Home Improvement Council.

In addition to the actual training, participaling modernizers will receive from RMS a complete set of management manuals, a complete price book, contracts and other standard forms and a "Design Pack"-portable drafting equipment that Richheimer salesmen have found highly effective in selling big-ticket jobs. Total fee for training and these materials is $2,000. A five-year franchise agreement is available for modernizers interested in having an exclusive arrangement with RMS in their trading areas.
