Commenting on their reduced prices, Mr. Giles, vicepresident, said, "We believe that you can't stay in business unless you give the public rvhat it wants. Today people demand better products for less money. That is what we are trying to give them. We're going to go right ahead with our policy. Whenever public taste in stained shingles changes, we'll be in a position to satisfy it-and at the lowest possible prices.

"We believe the new Creo-Dipts at lower prices are an rmportant factor in stimulating spring building. There is definite interest in building, waiting for the best bargain before getting into action. The greatest incentive to buy is an improved product at a reduced price. This is the powerful lever we are putting into the hands of our dealeri."
