Last December at the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association Exposition in Chicago, the Bennett 2-WAY PANEL SAW Booth was ac' claimed by The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT (and perhaps by other trade journals) as the third most popular attraotion of tha't tremendous show, N,mber one was a plywood company which had a free lunc.h counter, and ntrmber two was the N{odel Lumber Store, erected full-size inside the Exhibit Hall.

Ranking third in popularity at this most important of all lumber shows was a real thrill and quite a surprise. Just recently, however, we were even more pleasantly surprised when we wete asked to furnish a 2-VAY PANEL SA!7 for installation inside this year,s Model Store. The Store this year was an exact replica of Lumberteria, Inc., which recently opened in Silvefton. ohio, and which is written up in the Building Supply News for september.

Erection of the 5400-square-foot store roorn and the installation of the fixtures and stock are undcr the supervision of one of the countr-v-'s leacling store designers and merchandising consultants, Joscph Guillozet. For the 2-WAY PANEL SAWu'hich was not even ou the market three short 1-ears agoto lvin such a complete ancl overwhelming acceptance by the NRLDA is testimony that this macltittc rloes tle job it was clesignetl for: to nrake it possible for one man to cross-cut antl rip large shects of pl1'.r\-ood and other panel stock quicker and easier than t'l1o Incn can on a lable saw'

Lost yeor,s show resulted in so mony orders fhot we were not oble fo coich up with the bocklog until rhe end of June. These orders come from oll over lhe country. There is every indicotion thot the results of this yeor's show will greotly exceed losi yeor's'

Deer Park, Washington

Dear Walter:

._I_h-1y._jl$ !"tqlT4 :ead ing and re-reading your article "TIME FOR BATTLE !"Wtlter, it is great.

In citing the need for all segments ofthe lumber indus- try to join forces ina total, all-out merchandising-sellins campaign to promote lumber and wood products, lou pu"t your finger squarely on the problem that has plagired bur tndustry j9r lo man-y y-ears. f mean lack of merchandising spilit and lack of effective cooperation.

Your article spells out the rble that each of us must olav in order to check the advance of lumber's comoetitois. i think this document should be required reading'for every member of our industry-across the board-retaileri, wholesalers, and manufacturers. A reprint of the article is going to all Directors of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association with the request for their prompt appraisals and opinions.

National-Ameiican has been plugging this type of cooperation for quite a while, and und-er sEparate iover I am sending reprints of our recent advertisements. NationalAm_erican will give you every support and cooperation.

You are to be congratulated for the straight-forward, plain-talking style of "TIME FOR BATTLE.'' It doesn,t mince words, it isn't full of qualifications, and it is full of expressions that the reader will remember and want to do something about.

Let's have more-lots more-of this same kind of talk and action. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and let us help you spread it through the industry.

Cordiallv vours.

Martin f. Wiegand, President
