Purchases Dri-Bilt Phn of House Construction

Tacoma, Wash., August S,-The Dri-Bilt plan of house construction as developed by Jacques Willis of the C-W Plywood Company of Chicago, Illinois, has been purphased by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, and will'-be featured as an important part of the plywood industry's enlarged trade promotion program, according to an announcement by W. E. Difford, managing director of the Association. The announcement was made following Mr. Willis' recent trip to the Pacific Northwest during which he visited the Plywood manufacturing units.

The Dri-Bilt plan, as developed bv Mr. Willis, involved the construction of moderate-priced houses according to specified plans involving the extensive use of Douglas Fir Plywood for interior wall paneling and ceilings, for sheathing, for subfloors, and for built-ins. Dealers were provided with plan books for use in contacting their customers and from which detailed plans and guaranteed material lists could be ordered. Mr. Willis featured the fact that DriBilt eliminated 1000 gallons of water in the ordinary sixroom house constructed in the conventional way.

Dri-Bilt met with considerable success, according to W. E. Difford, and since it was logically a field of activity in which the Douglas Fir Plywood Association was vitally interested, it was natural that it would be consolidated with the entire trade promotion program.

Since the market for Dri-Bilt houses rapidly expanded, it became almost impossible for Mr. Willis to continue to direct this promotion and at the same time to devote his energy also to the C-W Plywood Company. For this reason he consented to sell the plan to the Plywood Association.

The Association plans to extend the Dri-Bilt plan widely through the new field representatives recently appointed. Preliminary plans call for a Dri-Bilt Manual for distribution to interested dealers and builders and other helpful dealer material. Trade paper ddvertising will also be scheduled as the program gets under way.

Dealers, dstributors, and other factors in the trade will be given preliminary notification of the whole program so that they may tie-in their sales activity effectively.
