Armstrong Acquires New Wall Covering

Lancaster, Pa., August 2O-With the purchase early in August of the Standard Wall Covering Company, Inc. of Philadelphia by the Armstrong Cork Company of Lancaster, Pa., Armstrong's line of lumber dealer products has acquired a new wall covering sold heretofore under the principal trade names of Monotile and Monowall.

It is available in four types, the most popular being tile effeets achieved with score lines in contrasting colors. Other types are 10 solid colors; 6 accurate reproductions of Italian, French, and Greek marbles and reproductions of four fine woods. The material comes in sheets as large as 4 by L2 feet; is lf" thick, and can be bent to a 3-foot radius without cracking the glossy surface.

Although the entire production organization of Standard will be retained at the plant in Philadephia, the full strength of Armstrong's sales and merchandising facilities will be utilized in the national distribution of the product. The Temlok Department of Armstrong's Building Materials Division will be responsible for the sale of the product which will be merchandised through recognized wholesale channels. The erection service formerly conducted by Standard will be discontinued. In 1937, the company sold more than a million square feet of the material.
