Whitmer was the principal of Walkerton High School in 1900. Main Street Gossip More and more Americans today are beautifying their homes and apartments with wallpaper, but few are really aware of either the history of the best techniques of a job wall-done. Early in the 16th century, an inventive genius, probably living in Italy, observed that the decorative paper used for lining books might be developed into an expensive and beautiful mi uns of wall decoration. A hundred years passed before it was in general use.' and it did not take its present “rolled" form until the 18th century. Tapestry had been the favorite wall decoration in Fiance. Italy always preferred velvets and damasks. The great cost of these materials led to the use of paper hangings as substitutes. The earliest appears for covering walls were probably the domino or checkered papers, in sheets about 12 to 16 inches wide made from the linings for books. By the middle of the 16th century’ it was a common custom in France to cover walls with these sheets. Flat-headed nails held them in place. Called “painted paper,” the sheets were blockprinted and colored by hand with stencils. Checks, wave lines and colors seldom matched. Designers and manufacturers quickly saw the disadvantages of small sheets and the consequent disjointed patterns. Improvement in matching was made by the middle of the 17th century, and continuous rolls were in use by 1750. Rolls of the type common today were not made until the following century'. Another great improvement was the printing of colors by successively applied blocks. This process required great skill, yet it was more rapid than stenciling by hand. The story’ of American wallpaper began before the Revolution and typified both foreign influence and native oringinality. According to the Resistance Corporation. a leading producer of wall pa per today, all "American" wallpapers before 1750 were actually imported from Europe. But then a Philadelphia firm began manufacturing them, and soon manufacturers in other cities increased the size of the industry. In style they followed closely the papers made abroad, but native ability and taste soon combined to create a variety of new styles. There are three methods of joning the seams in hanging wallpaper. One is the “butt", method in which you fit the dges tightly together - with no overlap. In the “lap" method, one strip is lapped over the edge of the one beside it. The third technique is to “wire edge” the strips. This is a variation of the butt method; one strip is lapped over the other and into the pattern very slightly. All three techniques are satisfactory, but butting produces a hlore finished wall and avoids a double thickness of paper at the seams. If your walls are rough or uneven, you’ll get a better job by lapping br wire-edging the seams. First prepare the walls, then the paper. You can paper overold wallpaper providing it still adheres tightly. Jf it is loose here and there, remove the paper and feather the edges with sandpaper. If the paper has been on the walls for many years and is gen-

erally loose, you’ll save time and trouble later by taking it off now. USe a wallpaper steamer, which you can rent at most paint and wallpaper stores, or soak the paper off with i mixture of water and a special wallpaper remover. Wallpaper is -oiled tightly and will curl wnen unrolled. To eliminate this, unroll two or three feet of the paper, pattern side up. and drag it firmly between one hand and the edge of a table. Do this several times and you will find that the paper will lie flat. Hold the partially unrolled roll against the wall at the ceiling joining and decide where you want the pattern to break-at the ceiling or at the molding. Mark this point lightly with a pencil and put the roll on the tabel. Starting with your pencil mark, measure off the full distance from ceiling to baseboard. In tearing or cutting, add about four inches to the ceiling -to - baseboard distance, and tear off the strip, using a yardstick as guide. After you have hung a few strips and become familiar with the pattern match, you can reduce the excess length. A number of products come to the aid of the papering party, whether you do the job yourself or hire a professional. One is a release coating. You apply it to the wall before you put on new paper, and then you can easily strip the paper off - years later or right away to correct a mistake. There’s also a protective coating - both products are made by Resistance - you can put on new paper right after you hang it. It keeps dust and soil off the paper so you can enjoy the handiwork for years. There is practically no ceiling on the variety of wallpapers. Nor are all “wallpapers” made of paper. You-can get vtny,l foil, flocked paper (paper with patterns that feel frizzy when you touch them) and more. No matter how skilled you become - you may be surprised at how quickly the skill develops - be sure to use dropcloths. They help you do a job that is flawless, and this is important After all, who wants to feel, when his work is inspected, that he has his back to the wall?
