A Big Wallpaper Day THE 'HE Crowley, Milner Company of Detroit, Michigan, recently staged a special anniversary wallpaper sale which will go down into the annals of wallpaper history as being a record day. This day was specially featured and advertised with the result that a greater number of people visited the store on that day than on any one day previous. This enterprising concern have a wallpaper department that is outstanding and noted for its volume sale of high-grade wallpaper. One of the features of this sale, which will stand as a record day for the retail sale of wallpaper in the United States was the noticeable demand for better-grade goods. The demand was for goods of better quality rather than goods at a low price. One of outstanding features of this sale was the fact that there was present to assist in putting it over Perry L. Gold of Becker, Smith and Page, J. Harry Nessenthaler of Robert Graves Co., and A. Schierer of M. H. Birge & Sons Co., all manufacturers of union made wall paper. The story of this wonderful wallpaper sale appeared in a recent issue of Wallpaper, accompanied by a group picture of the rep resentatives of the union mills noted above. The volume of business was so great that thirty-five sales people were required to wait on the customers and fifteen packers and shippers needed to get the goods out. The moral to this successful sale is that which this journal has always maintained— In union made wallpaper the best quality is to be bad. MERCHANT DRAWS MORE TRADE This small but very significant item appeared in the May issue of the American Paint and Oil Dealer: "A Hollywood paint merchant hesitated a long time before spending $400 to improve the front of his store, but after he did so his business increased twenty-five per cent immediately." By the same token, it may be taken as an evidence of better craftsmanship when the man who applies paint, paper, varnish, etc., and working in the regulation working clothes, sees to it that his "front" is kept "tidied up" with clean apparel and his personal appearance otherwise gives evidence of a well groomed workman. He will then be more quickly accepted as a mechanic who can be trusted to do his work in a neater and more workmanlike manner and as a consequence increase his income.
