New name for Conklin
One of the mast recognized
names in the retail lumber
business in Southwestern Ontario,
in an expansion program now
under way, this week is adopt-
ing a pew face and a new for-
mat.
Conklin Lumber, a name
established through more than
80 years in the lumber business,
is altering its 17 outlets and
will rename then Discount
Dave's Home Centres,
"Discount Dave, " of course,
is David Conklin, grandson of
his late namesake who founded
the company in the timber area
of Essex County in the waning
years of the last century.
The new discount format ent-
ails extensive changes in the
layout of the company's retail
outlets, a significantly enlarged
line of manufacturers' goods
and implementation of a cash-
and-carry policy.
But it will not mean, Mr.
Conklin points out, an end to
Conklin's long-established
policies of credit buying and
free delivery. Those services
will remain available to custom-
ers at Conklin's existing price
levels.
llowever, Discount Dave's
will offer lower prices, discoun-
ted by an average of about 10
per cent, for the customers who
want to pay cash and take goods
with theta.
Alterations to the Discount
Dave's Horne Centres are prov-
iding showroom space for kitch-
en fixtures, shelves, panelling
and carpets displayed in bout-
ique style as individual rooms.
The outlets are expanding
their inventroy to enable display
of several models of these goods
from several manufacturers.
Discount Dave's also offers
design and planning services by
trained staff members and blue-
prints are available to customers
for their individual home impro-
vement projects.
The Conklin company has al-
ready established two of its
recently opened outlets in rhe
new format and the remaining
15 are being remodelled.

IMENIEIHRIEREZEURENEWEINEMEIE
September of last year and has
been more successful than orig-
inally anticipated, Another
similar outlet opened last week
near Windsor.
Conklin Lumber has taken the
dramatic decision to change its
identity after more than 80
years of business only after long
and careful consideration, Mr.
Conklin said.
He said the move was being
made "because we recognize
that with today's high prices,
steps must be taken to keep
prices in
The Conklin president noted
that do-it-yourself home imp-
rovements had attracted $2
billion in spending by Canadians
in 1972 and that spending was
expected to climb by 10 or 15
per cent annually through the
next five years.
The Conklin roots, in the
lumber industry reach back to
1862 when the late David Conk-
lin Sr., went to work in Essex
County's timber lands. He op-
ened his own sawmill in 1883,
1-iis son William joined him
in 1895 and they opened their
first retail outlet in Kingsville
in 1903. Kingsville remains
headquarters for a company
which now reaches to Georgian
Bay in the north and Kitchener
to the east.
The Conklin name wil 1 not
completely disappear. Discount
Dave's Horne Centres will op-
erate as a divisio;-1 of Conklin
Lumber Company Ltd.
