Miniature Model-Home Contest

Seattle, Wash., March 30.-An important feature of the Pacific Northwest Annual Building Show which opened in Seattle on March 25, was a miniature model-home contest. Over 10O entries in the contest indicated the model builders' ideas of what constituted the home desirable.

home-such as scalloped valances, gable ends, and flush doors.

Few extreme ideas were noted among the miniature models, although one was co.nstructed along a stream-lined auto trailer design. Most of them were very modern in appearance, and employed wood as the exterior covering. The lack of emphasis on the ultra-ultra would indicate a feeling on the part of the entrants that too radical a departure would not meet the favor of the judges and public.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was an interested spectator at the Exposition, and showed keen interest in the model houses.

The Home Show has been showing to record crowds from the day of its opening. It was the first time Pacific Northwest Building Material dealers had been apprised of the extensive local interest in building and modernizing at the present time.

Roller chair, as well as pedestrian tiiaffic, is now traveling for 150 feet over California redwood blocks on a part of the famous Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This section of the rvalk is a sample installation of redwood blocks on end. For some time, Redwood has been used for the sub-structure of the Boardwalk and recently some of the Redwood manufacturers, through the California Redwood Association, furnished bl'ocks for the decking without cost to the citY.

According to James J. Farley, assistant sales manager of The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, the blocks hold up beyond all expectation and it is believed that they will triple the life of the Boardwalk. Redwood blocks on end possess considerable compression strength and will rvithstand the abrasions from foot and vehicle traffic admirably. Installations of blocks in this manner on bridges have given 25 to 30 years of satisfactory service.

Accompanying is a photograph showing the method used in laying the sample installation. This was accomplished by laying a sub-floor of rpieces 2x6 inches, and wider, between the girders and fastening the blocks to the sub-floor rvith mastics and asphalts of various brands. Time studies rvill be made of the perfor'mances of each to determine rvhich is the most durable and satisfactory for this particu'lar type of construction.. The installation was made in front of the Traymore Hotel, just off Illinois St., where there is a maximum amount of traffic.

Forecasts Continued Good Business

Following national sales conferences, with meetings in Savannah, Washington, New York City, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and San Francisco, executives of Certain-teed Products Corporation report a steady upswing in activity.

Voicing this optimism, Edwin G. Roos, vice-president in charge of sales, said, "As a result of our nation-wide sales conferences, d u r i n g which we had first hand con-

Edwin G. Roos tacts with hundreds of our salesmen who work with and know dealers, builders, realtors and home owners, I am fully convinced that the already noticeable improvement in the building business will not o.nly continue but will consistently increase. I believe the second quarter of 1939 will exceed the same 'period of 1938 by atleast 25/o.

"So far, we feel that conditions have more than justified having expanded our promotional efforts at the beginning of the year. Now our faith in the immediate and longpull future is being demonstrated in a broad-scope advertising and merchandising program covering'our three major product divisions, roofing, gypsum rproducts and wallboards.

"This program includes a well rounded program of sales literature, displays and dealer helps, all of which are keyed to a foundation campaign of advertising in national magazines and business publications. While we use a long list of publications we consider the trade papers the backbone of our advertising effort, not only in their function of informing the trade of new product developments but also in their positive effect in bringing about distribution of these products."

Besides Mr. Roos, the executive offices of Certain-teed Products Corporation were represented at the sales conferences by C. L. Von Egloffstein, new head of the corporation who assumed thg ,presidency in November, 1938, and by W. C. Hendricks, sales promotion manager, who presented plans for increased promotion and reviewed what has already been done under the accelerated 1939 program.
