Throwback Thursday: Circulars from the Vault
The Feb. 14, 1983 issue of National Home Center News, the forerunner of HBSDealer, featured circulars from around the home center industry, showcasing a slice of business from key players. The recurring feature was called "Ad Angles."
The two companies profiled above are Church's Lumber Yards of Utica, Mich., with its mustachioed logo; and Lumberjack of Sacramento, Calif.; with a clean-shaven mascot.
The caption describes Church's:
"Church's Lumber Yards, Utica, Mich., had a 20%-to-50%-off in-stock clearance sale including savings on paints and accessories, power and hand tools, ceiling tiles and panels, floor tiles, weatherstripping, doors and windows."
For Lumberjack, the caption reads:
"Looking to get rid of some inventory, Lumberjack, Sacramento, Calif., had a left-over sale on stocked items like radial arm saws, band saws, thermostats, redwood and fir studs."
