TN EVERY town you will find at least one I live wire lumber dealer who takes hold of the good new developments and makes money out of them.
Take the case of a middle west lumber dealer who called his yard insulation headquarters. He sold 495,000 feet of Balsam-'Wool the second year he handled it.
' In the same city there is a dealer who doesn't handle any make of insulation. He doesn't intend to do so either until the market ttdevelops.t'
In another town a few miles away a dealer sold 315,000 feet of Balsam-'Wool the first year he stocked it This dealer reports that insula. tion salbs constitute one-tenth of his entire sales. This dealer is favorably known a.s a good business man, a money maker. He has the reputation for developlzg markets.
Still another dealer operating eight yards in this section sold 511,000 feet of Balsam-'Wool in one year.
Lumber dealers in both small towns and large cities are making 6,7 and as high as 10 turnovers in a year on their Balsam-'Wool stock.
Each foot sold nets additional profits. A sale of Balsam-'Wool does not rob you of legitimate profits on your other yard items.
The sales records prove several points conclusively. The insulation market has developed for those dealers who are stepping out after the business. Balsam-'Wool sales and profits mount fast for the dealer who puts a little push behind the line.
