Describes Laminex Streamliner Door

A neu' door for interior use by Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation is described by Ralph Brindley, vice-president in charge of operations, of that company, as providing exceptional advantages in light rveight, economy and attra'ctive, modern appearance.

The Laminex Streamliner is manufactured with plain surfaces of 3-ply Douglas Fir, or Philippine Mahogany. The rigidly braced hollor,v core provides strength with light weight, and has a series of channels, screened at exterior openings, allowing thorough cir,culation of zrir for resistence to warping effects of moisture and temperature changes.

Laminex 'cement is used in the Streamliner door to provide a permanent, moisture-resistant bond. Mr. Brindley stated that the Streamliner is a Laminex lO-Point p661with engineered design, backed by the full Laminex gttarantee, and offering ten different points of advantage. 'Ihese ten points are said to insure beauty of appearance, troubleproof service, and maximum value.

The plain surface of the Streamliner door offers wide possibilities in decorative effects. The surface of the Streamliner can be painted or stained. Virtually any arrangement of panel effects can be obtained, or routed ancl inlaid designs are easily provided. Painted decorations in modern or period designs can be applied.

"Companion" to the Streamliner door, Mr. Brindley stated, is the Streamliner cupboard door. The cupboard door, built on the hollow-core principle also offers particular advantages in modern appearance, rigidity, light weight and economy. Literature describing these new Laminex doors is just off the press.

Frank H. White, formerly mill sales manager at Samoa, has been transferred to the Hammond Redwood Company's San Francisco office.

Mr. White returned September 20 from a seven weeks' trip in the course of which he visited the company's New York and Chicago offices, and their sales connections in 20 States.
