^ Wouldn't you know it, the Jack Benny School counted pennies on Venetian blinds. This is a typical classroom in the new Jack Benny Junior High School in Waukegan, Illinois. Just completed, this school was meant to be a showplace— one of the best-planned, bestequipped of its kind. So what happened? Well you know Jack Benny. Catch his namesake throwing money around. When they bought Venetians, they got the best at a bargain — then made them do an extra job ! What did they buy? Flexalum TwiNighters-the only blinds where all the components were engineered to make an integrated whole. This makes Twi Nighters last much longer, because they operate with so much less strain. The Board also liked the way the spring-tempered aluminum slats, with their two-coat baked enamel finish, the wipe-clean plastic tapes, and selflubricating tilter, cut down on maintenance costs. (And the patented, crash-proof cord lock that prevents injuries and property loss.) But what really clinched it was the Twi-Nighter's light control. The Board found they could make Twi-Nighters double for audio-visual blinds. How? By pulling them down and closing them. With these blinds that's all you have to do to make a room dark enough for unstreaked projection of all but the most light-critical audiovisual aids. (For fine-line detail, microscopic slide or very subtle color projection, specify our Audio-Visuals with light trap side-channels. They make any room absolutely light-tight.) Both Flexalum Twi-Nighters and Audio-Visuals carry a 5-year guarantee bonded by the Continental Casualty Company and backed by Bridgeport Brass. Write for specifications to Bridgeport Brass Co.
