Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 154, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1916 — The Sanitary Kitchen Shelf. [ARTICLE]

The Sanitary Kitchen Shelf.

Rip the oilcloth and the perforated paper off the kitchen shelves and paint them if you value cleanliness and health. Water bugs and roaches and ants make the coziest homes in the warm corners of covered shelves, while they find odorous, freshly painted shelves far too cheerless for domestic purposes. By the time the paint is dry the prospective tenants will have settled elsewhere. And recollect the saving in paper, bug powder and time in cleaning.
