Good Workmanship Is First! Essential; Decoration Hints Are Given.

Clean-Up, Paint-Up Week has |S Living Room passed with its usual pictures and | stories but the spirit lingers on—or should if you want to prevent de- | preciation of your home. Here are

Details of moldings are often lost, doors fail to close properly, paint scales off the walls. | The way to avoid early aging of your home is to obtain the best] workmanship, the best materials. |
