THE IDEA WAS BORN IN
KITCHENER - And now it's
spreading all across
Southwestern Ontario
Conklin Lumber Co., Ltd. has been serving home-
owners throughout Southwestern Ontario for over
eight decades. Last Fall, the company opened its
first cash & carry discount operation in Kitchener,
Ontario.
The new store was given the name, "Discount'
Dave's Home Centre" and from the very beginning,
it was a tremendous success with the homeowners
throughout the area.
In addition to discount prices, the store offered its
customers a much wider selection. For example: in
the carpet department, the sere presented -no
fewer than seven different manufacturers'makes
tq choose from. Three -different makes of kitchen
Cabinets were available..and the same freedom of
choice was offered in other departments.
Furthermore, Discount Dave's Showrooms were
staffed by experts in the fields of Home
Improvement, and free design and planning
services were made available to customers. The
store was designed as•a one-stop shopping centrefor
homeowners. And because it was so well received,
the decision was made to bring all Conklin
customers throughout Southwestern Ontario the
same quality, selection and discount prices,
TODAY ... All Conklin
Lumber -Yards Have
Converted to Discount
