Macs by idilch they can cooperate. Copies of tha brochure ware seat to all
Mahers co ApriTs, 1943.
Another new Bagetine la which wa will ba advertising durii^ 1943 la "Booflag, Siding and Insulation," aoat of d>oae rsadars ara roofing con tractors. Our Mlsctioa of this pageline was based on tha feet that wa found wa eould sail archltacta on tha idaa of a lead roof through our ada la "Progressive Architecture* end tha work of our staff architect, Ed Martin. After tha plana catling for lead left the architect's office aad want cot for bide fro* roofing cootractors, wa found tha roof . falllrg la on ue. Tba roofing contractor, not being fieri liar with lead, would charge an out rageous, to us at least, prsad'ei and suggest another natal. Thus w fcas'd it necessary to convince tba miw that lead could bo handled la the sans -- and sore important, tha etas cost as other astals. This la eoa of the ads wa hope will help do this for ue.

t.K.Porclna In the period April 1, 1962 to February 28, 1963, 11 month*, the total
wrndmr of inquiries received by L.I.A. mm oror 7,100, about 30 mrj work- -----Inf day. Of Umm, over 2,200 mn directly attributable to tbo ad campaign.
And more important 2 boll*** la tha fact that almost 1,000 of these ' wr of a nature that required datallad answers iy one or more mashers of tha ataff.
;
In anower to these Inquiries a east out over 33,000 pisoee of Uteraturo, ranging la alaa from a one-page reprint to our 230-page book "lead
la Nodars Industry.* Our exhibit In tha back of thla roaa shows tha llte-
ratura we ara currently distributing, tha mMiar of aach aast oat aa a re-
ault of inquiries received la tha laat 11 months, and tha maher dlatrl-
butad through bulk nailInga.
Z believe a few eoocrata examples of tha valna of our promotional efforta ara la ordar. Just laat nonth, aa engineer la tha firm of Z.X. IW1, eaa of tha top architectural firna la tha country, telephoned aa about tha aaa of aheat laad aa a -pool liner. Va 'hit" thla poor fallow tram all aIdaa. Aa a reault, the epaeiflcatlona call for a 6-lb. cheat lead n*f la what will probably be tha largaat reflecting pool la tha world, 160 x 120 ft., using over 30 tone of sheet lead. This Job la la tha Aviation and Speoa Building, Washington, 0. C. Be said ha aaw our ad la "Sweat's Catalog." Haaoa his call to as.
Another one of our "ada" co leaded poroelala ensealed natal generated an Inquiry fron tbs D.S. Ftost Office making If thla poroelala anawalad material would be satisfactory for nail boxea. We are of eouroo going all out on this Inquiry.
These ara Just two of may that Z eould relate.
1 A growing market that 1 firmly beHare la due alaoat entirely to our promotional efforts is tha saa of laad-asbestoa antlTlbratlon pads under buildings.
Z would Ilka to disease for a moment a serrloe tha Association son offer Its members and to do so Z ballara Z can do It beat ty illustration.
Early In World War ZZ, the U.S. Xary decided agalast red load paint
because It required a long drying period before tha next coat of paint
could be applied. With this blow to our Berkat, tha rad lead manufacturers
acted through the Aseoeiatloa to fora tha Bad lead Technical Ccswxlttee.
Through thla ooaadttea's efforts, fast drying red lead formulation# were
developed and tasted. Mary of these have beoone standard specification
paints of tha Bery and elsewhere and aa our rad lead manufacturing friends
can attest, this eoadttea can oertainly be credited with helping to main
tain tha rad lead market we now enjoy. Tha ooanlttee has broadened Its
eoope reoeatly to Include all lead pigments and la now known ae the Lead
Pigments Technical Ccoilttee. The Ceramic Technical Cremittee la another
example of bow a similar situation was handled In that Industry. Thera
bars been many other examples of Joint efforts fay tha Industry slnoe L.Z.A.
"vl Pfr^P* there are among the member* similar groups who could 1
fit through this type of Association activity. All we oak la that you let
know how wa can help you.
