Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 108, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 May 1917 — Hammock Stand Worth While. [ARTICLE]

Hammock Stand Worth While.

Instead of hanging the hammock from house to tree or clothes-line pole or pergola, buy a hammock stand and awning which can be moved about the yard to any location you may desire at any time; under this awning build, a little platform, which will allow you to use the hammock when the ground is damp, without danger of catching cold by wetting your feet; and you may also inclose the whole affair in screening, thereby making a comfortable sleeping room for a hot night. Around the yard plant as many shrubs and flowering plants as space will permit, and then see that the grass is kept as well watered and trimmed as is that on the front lawn. Do these things and you will not only enjoy them yourself, but some day when you want to rent or sell the house, you will find it a much easier task than would be the case if you had nothing back of the house to show except an unsightly back yard.
