Here's a New Display Rack for Dealers

The Smoot-Holman Company of Inglewood, California, offers a free metal wire display rack and metal sign to dealers in conjunction with any of their three deals on Smoot-Holman Porcelain Enameled Steel Sinks and Lavatories.

Their "SALESMAKER" Display Rack is small enough to take only four square feet of floof or sidenralk space, yet big enough to display one Sink and one Lavatory, as illustrated here. This display stands three feet, ten inches high. The metal sign shown at the top is in three colors. This Display Rack is sturdy, colorful, easily cleaned, light in weight . . . won't tip or wobble. Because it is impervious to sun or rain, it can be used in the entrance way or on the sidewalk. The manufacturer also states that this "SALESIVIAKER" Displav Rack is collapsible, thus permitting it to be moved from place to place.

The three deals worked out by the Smoot-Holman Company on their steel plumbing are called GIANT 70, consisting of sixty-five Sinks and five Lavatories; JUMBO 70, consisting of sixty-five Sinks in assorted sizes and five Lavatories, and BABY 30, consisting of twenty-five Sinks and fiveLavatories.
