Redwood Display Card Popular

A special counter and window display card featuring Redrvood as "the Architect's Wood" met rvith such popular approval among western lumber dealers, to whom it was recently distributed by P. E. Qvqr€nd, Cali{ornia Redwood Association, San F-rancisco offrce, and J. W. Williams of the Los Angeles office, that a second printing of the card had to be ordered. Designed to tie the individual dealer directly in with the sales-building series of Redwood advertisements appearing monthly in popular Sunset magazine, this smart display is made of stout cardboard printed to simulate a piece of Redwood board.

Packed with eye-appeal, the card is 13 inches rvide, 19 inches high, and constructed with supports to hold it firmly in an upright position. On its face is a rectangular recess in which a copy of the ad appearing in Sunset is inserted each month. To the left of the ad in tl-re recess is printed the direct 1is-in-r'as advertised in Sunset." The caption of the display piece reads: "Redwood the Architect's \Mood."

The series of magazine advertisements carfies the thought-inspiring theme that when architects build for themselves, they choose Redwood. The ads contain pictures of architects, as well as the homes they have built with this durable r.vood, and the copy expresses, by direction quotation, the high regard these architects have for redwood as a building material.
