Inwood Sales Increasing
A steady growth in the number of lumber dealers handling Inwood is reported by William Griffith of Inwood Products Co., 1539 Folsom Street, San Francisco, and 6626 McKinley Avenue, Los Angeles. He stresses the fact that Inwood is not a paint, varnish or lacquer, but is an enduring, penetrating finish for wood and composite materials, and that it enhances the beauty of the natural wood, seals and waterproofs with just one coat, giving a smooth, nonslip wax-like finish.

Gets Publicity in National Magazine
Al Nolan, Western sales manager of The Pacific Lumber Com,panv, San Francisco, receir.ed some national and international publicity for himself, his company and the idea of roof insulation n,hen his letter to life pointing out that the expenditure of an extra $50 on insulating the roof of Life's l.rouse in suburban Pittsburgh would be an excellent investment.
N[r. Nolar-r's sharp eye noted that in the picture shorvn of this house in February 6 issue there r'vas an entire absence of snorv on the roof of this house as compared lvith the roof of the garage. His letter was printed in the February 27 isste of Life 'ivith the editor's comment that Mr. Nolan could rest assure<l tl.rat rvher.r the Pittsburgh Life llouse is completed snow rvill not melt on its roof tl-rrough lack of insulation, and that the house was opened before insulation was completely installed.
No doubt Al hopes that they rvill use Palcq Wool for the roof insulation.
