'64 Business Outlook Good
Chicago, Ill. Fifteen industry leaders polled this month by Construction Equipment News, official publication of Associated Equipment Distributors, predict that machinery dealers' sales and profits next year will exceed levels reached in 1963-which is shaping up as a record industry high.
The AED executives all Regional Directors of the national trade association-base their optimistic outlook on increased construction contract lettings in 1964 as well as an anticipated tax reduction early next year.
In most areas of the country, equipment dealers' sales in 1963 topped 1962 by approximately 15%. For most firms, it was the best year for sales and profits since 1955. Distributors expect machinery sales in 1964 to at least equal, if not better, the 1963 record.
Competition among equipment dealers has become keener in recent years, it was pointed out, but this has been offset to a great extent by better management and cost reduction programs.
Wins Kansas City A.I.A. Award
William H. Wallace of the Clipper Manufacturing Company was honored at the recent annual award dinner of the American Institute of Architects held in the Muchibae hotel in Kansas City.
Mr. Wallace received a Certificate of Craftsmanship for construction of the masonry sign at the company's new multi-million dollar building in Grandview, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City.
More than 2,000 glazed bricks in five different colors were used to create the life-size Mr. Clipper, longtime company trademark. From a full scale drawing, the necessary patterns were traced onto the glazed bricks. The patterns were then cut with a Clipper SuperMatic masonry saw using a diamond blade. When necessary an abrasive blade mounted on the same saw was used to smooth and round off the bricks.
Pictured is William Wallace holding the Craftsmanship Award.
Mr. Clipper was then assembled by Mr. Wallace in sections, easily handled by two men, and transported to the job site for incorporation into the complete sign which overlooks the east end of the new building.
Neville, Sharp and Simon, architects for the building, were also given an award for designing the unusual sign. Creation of this award winning sign points out the unusual and dramatic architectural effects that can be realized through the use of a masonry saw in the hands of a skilled operator.
