Pertinent Information 



Long-Bell Company Builds Display Room De Luxe 



The display room of the modern lumber store may be made a thing of 

 elegance and beauty, and yet perfectly discharge its function of stock dis- 

 playing. This has been accomplished by a great lumber organization in 

 Pittsburg. Kan., through the surprisingly clever execution of a unique 

 and daring idea. This room manages to display, without ostentation and 

 yet with the utmost effectiveness, according to a description by F. W. 

 Foresman, manager of the Long-Bell Luinber Company's interests at Pitts- 

 burg, samples of the Long-Bell company's various lines of doors, flooring, 

 wainscoting, wallboard and other interior trim. In its ensemble it is a 

 most valuable sales promotion instrument, Mr. Foresman says. One wall 

 reveals seven full-sized doors, cased in, equipped \vith various types of 

 hinges, linobs and locks. The casing stops and the bases are finished in 

 egg-shell ivory color. Really, in the seven openings there are fourteen

doors, for in the background behind these open doors are seven others in 

 various finishes. The customer ma.v see exactly how a door will look when 

 finished in a certain color and hung. 



Other Items which the room displays are screen doors, windows, colon- 

 nades, cupboard doors, window seats, even a disappearing ironing board, 

 and the walls are finished in various colors, yet the appearance of a room 

 as a whole is so harmonious as to be strikingly attractive. The room is 

 brilliantly lighted, tastefully furnished and decorated with beautiful 

 draperies. Part of the flooring was laid in the ordinary way, using select 

 plain white oak flooring and the balance of the room was laid in par- 

 quetry style. There are forty-two blocks. In eighteen of them the select 

 plain white oak was used, while twenty-four were made of select plain red 

 oak. All of the flooring was {i" by 2yo", the reason for following the 

 parquetry style being to show that short lengths of flooring may he used 

 to advantage. 



Holt Inaugurates Tractor Power Bulletins 



It is expected that the lumber trade will learn with interest that the 

 Holt Manufacturing Company, Peoria, Ilil., has inaugurated a series of 

 bulletins regarding the application of "caterpillar" tractors to variotis 

 industries. The first bulletin tells of the use of the caterpillar in concrete 

 road construction, carrying exhaustive data on operation methods and cost 

 data. Bulletins on other industries will follow in due time.
