The leaflet outlines the CRA's six major promotions for the currerlt year and tells how literature, advertising, and publicity will support these promotions, and hou' a dealer can tie in.
Other new booklets produced by the CRA's prize winning literature division are a new edition of REDWOOD HOMES, REDWOOD INTERIOR FINISHES, and REDWOOD EXTERIOR FINISHES.
