Room Measures.

In a catalogue recently issued the following rules are given for the measurement of rooms to determine the exact amount of paper required to cover the surface. As most paper, when trimmed, is 18 Inches wide and 24 feet to the single piece, a piece will contain 36 square feet. Measure the length and height of each wall, getting the total number of square feet. Divide this total by 36, which will give you the number of pieces required for side wall. Allow onehalf piece of paper for each qlQor and window. To allow for waste in matching it is safer to divide by 33 instead of 36. To find tho dumber of single pieces required for. Veiling multiply length by width in feet and divide by 33. "
