BUILI'ING INTEREST IS HIGH, CREO-DIPT INQUIRIESINDICATE

Interest in prospective building and repairing is anywhere from 2O/o to 25/o higher than last year, if inquiries received by Creo-Dipt Company, Inc., North Tonawanda, N. Y., during the first trvo months of this year may be taken as a criterion.

"'We have found," says Mr. H. P. Kendall, Jr., president of Creo-Dipt, "that inquiries received from home owners are actually one of the most accurate indexes to immediate interest in building and remodeling that we can get. As you may know, all our advertising caffies a request thaf the reader send 25c for a booklet of color suggestions and portfolio of re-beautified and new Creo-Dipt homes,

"Although last year \,vas a thoroughly satisfactory building year and replies to our advertising ran high, the first two months of this year are running far ahead. This, of course, does not mean immediate operations, because our inquiries always run from one to two months ahead of the actual work. But it does indicate that people are reading and considering the subject of building ind repairing, and if our past experience is any guide, it indicates an unusually active late spring and early summer."

Mr. Kendall added that Creo-Dipt advertising to home owners for 1926 will be much larger than ever before. Full color pages in Canadian Homes and Gardens, Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, Country Gentleman, House and Garden, Flouse Beautiful, and other magazines rvill be used.

"The advertising will particularly stress remodeling and re-beautifying with.Creo-Dipts," 1\{r. Kendall added. "Not only is there a tremendous field for remodeling work throughout the United States and Canada, but remodeling rvork brings other business to the lumber dealer besides the sale of Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles. In fact, the bill for lumber often exceeds that for the Creo-Dipts."
