Sampson Company Celebrate Ninth Birthday bv Announcing Two Splendid New Products

On July 4th, 1938, the Samps,on Company, of pasadena, will be nine years old. It has been nine years of continual and uninterrupted progress in the making of screens and allied products, and they celebrate their birthday by announcing the advent of two new products of distinguished character to add to their already varied line of quality stufi. The two new products are both combination sash and screen doors with steel sash (cadmium plated).

Bill Sampson, founder and owner now closing his thirtieth year in the screen business in Southern California, calls one of these new combination doors the ..SampsonRex," and the other the "Sampson Easy-To-Wash.,, He has been working for a long time perfecting these two doors and preparing his large factory at 745 South pasadena Avenue, Pasadena, to produce them in commercial quantities.

The Rex door has a steel sash (which is cadmium plated for rust proofing). An Acme spring sash balance is used in this door to make for ease of operation. The panels between which the sash slides are rezited to prevent warping, and the sash slides between the panels in a metal channel to keep the friction constant and to reinforce the panels. The screen is readily removable to allow the washing of the outside of the glass.

The "Easy-To-Wash" door has two horizontal sliding sash (also cadmium plated),. with a positive center lock. To remove the sash for washing just slide the inside sash to the middle of the door, pull in at the bottom, and you have the sash in your hand. The outside sash removes the same way.

Mr. Sampson describes both doors as simple, durable, and economical, manufactured with the greatest of care and finest materials. He believes that from a standpoint of vision, light, ventilation, and simplicity of operation, they establish a new high mark for combination doors. High grade sugar pine is used in all their screen construction, every corner is held rigidly by glued hardwood dowels, special screen groove grip construction keeps the wire firm, and only brass tacks are used throughout.

Mr. Sampson is a dealer-only distributor and announces that these new doors, together with the better known Sampson products, will be sold through the lumber dealer only. Besides their full line of quality screens, Sampson Company specializes in blinds, shutters, and Louvre Doors, also in standard and Sivon Swivel ironing boards (the Sampson swivel ironing board locks in position).

In the nine years he has been in business Mr. Sampson has added steadily to the equipment, arrangement, and efficiency of his plant until now it is one he has every reason to be proud of. He has operated a full crew full time in season and out, and reports a splendid volume of business for the surnmer months. He expects these new doors to be very popular additions to his line of products.
