Federql Trqde Commission lssues Rules For Aluminum Siding Ads

The U. S. Federal Trade Commission has issued trade practice rules for the residential aluminum siding industry which were to become effective May 6.

The adoption of the rules should have a desired effect on sales by manv retail lumber dealers. It is hopld ttrey will spell the end for "suede shoe" ap- plicators and eliminate unfair competition between aluminum and other materials.

Among practices that are specifically prohibited are the following: a. that industry products require no repainting or repairing for the life of the structure, or that the initial cost is the only cost; or b. that the colors in which the industry products are finished will remain unchanged or are impervious to the elements or will last a lifetime; or c. that industry products, or any part or parts therof, are everlasting or are made of indestructible materials: or d. that industry products provide everlasting insulation; or e. that thermal insulating values of aluminum exceed that of any other metal or other material; or f. that nothing can damage aluminum siding.

The rules also deal with the deceptive use of "model home" representations, deceptive pricing, phony gift offers, bait advertising and a number of ills that have long plagued legitimate manufacturers, dealers, builders and contractors.

In other action, the FTC has announced that it is studying a draft of guide for advertising shell homes. The basic difference between a trade practice rule and an advertising guide is that the former is usually instituted by the industry concerned, while the latter is instituted bv the Commission itself.

The new Southem California offrces and distribution yard are managed by Carl Dupray and Ralph Steffen, two well known veterans ih the wholesale distribution field. Dupray has been educated in the sales field in the southland area having started his lumber career back in 1946. Steffen, who has been in the business for almost 20 years started his career at the mill level ancl rvorked through production, shipping and sales.

No information is yet available as to what the advertising guide for shell homes will contain, but it will probably curb deceptive practices in advertising of loan terms, extent of completion, and amount o,f materials that a shell house purchaser receives.
