I Make sure of weather-
tight construction. Like in-
sulation, weathertight win-
dows work the year around
to cut your fuel and air con-
ditioning bills. A combina-
tion of face-to-face contacts,
weatherstripping and pres-
sure locking makes Dash-
wood Windows up to 6 times
more weathertight than com-
mercial standards, thus cut-
ting one of the major sources
of heat loss in any home.
2 Choose the best sash and
frame material: choose
wood, the natural insulator.
If sash and frame s are
aluminum instead of wood,
engineers calculate an ad-
ditional heat loss of 21.5%
for the total window area.
That's because aluminum
conducts heat and cold a full
1800 times as fast as wood.
3 Keep an eye on app e a r-
anee. Skimpy, sterile-look-
ing metal windows can give
your home a cold, bleak ef-
fect. Choose well designed
wood windows. Dash wo o d
Windows, blend with a ny
style of architecture, con-
temporary or traditional.
4 Look for a combination of
different materials. No one
material is best for all parts
of a window. Wood provides
beauty and insulation in sash
and frames. Steel is best for
working parts like hinges.
Aluminum is ideal for
screens and weatherstrip-
ping. Only the best materials
are used in aDashwood Win-
dow to give greatest over-all
satisfaction.
IOW
SPay special attention to
window hardware. E very
operation of a window de-
pends upon its hardware—
parts such as operators,
hinge s, channels, lock s.
Good hardware is attractive,
strong — and looks it!
6 Choose windows that oper-
ate easily. Quality windows
are built to automatically

sic wood windows.
The following year, 1964,
another bold decision was
made — to build a new build-
ing from scratch instead of
making yet another addition
to the Dashwood plant.
Centralia was decided on
because of its proximity to
both the Dashwood and Mount
Brydges plants and because
of its excellent highway con-
nections.
This meant that the two
older plants could now spe-
cialize, one in non-wood fit-
tings, the other working in
wood. Components would be
shipped to Centralia for final
assembly into windows.
As of the 1st of January,
1965, Jim Finnen was pro-
moted from sales manager
to general manager of the
company and put in charge
of the Centralia plant.
Jerry Finnen took over
sales.
In December 1963. when
the Mount Brydges opera-
tion began, the late "Bill"
Klumpp was made manager
take care of extreme tem-
perature changes, variations
in humidity that affect win-
dow operation. Properly in-
stalled and maintained,
Dashwood Windows will
operate trouble-free for the
life of your home.
7 Make sure your windows
are easy to clean. You can
clean your operating Dash-
wood Windows easily, safely
from inside your home.
Glide-vent windows, for ex-
ample, have sash that lift
right out. Other Dashwood
Windows open wide enough
so that you can clean the out-
side glass from inside, too.
and carried out his duties
until his death Feb. 8, 1964.
At this time Bill Reason
was made the plant manager.
Bill has a long history in
the lumber and building pro-
ducts field. He was with the
Mount Brydges Lumber
company for more than 30
years and has become a very
important link in the Dash-
wood chain.
Howard Klumpp, as well
as being secretary-treasur-
er, is in complete charge of
the Dashwood plant. Mau-
rice Klumpp, being presi-
dent, has the important job
of co-ordination among the
three plants, is head pur-
chasing agent and is in full
charge of machinery and
production.
The company is now re-
presented by three salesmen
in the field: Frank Benin out
of Tillsonburg, Tony Van
Wyck, Ridgetown and Stan
Iutzi, Kitchener.
The only thing for the
Dashwood people to do now
is to look to the future.
But that's another story.
