Suppose you try filing your
NEWS. This can be easily done
by driving three six penny wire
nails through Il thin strip of
wood an inch wide, so as to
protrude full length. Take an
other strip like the first and
make corresponding holes, a
little larger, so it will slip over
the nails in the other piece east.
~. Press your paper over the
nails near folded margin, slip on
the other strip OF wood, loop
piece of Irvine over each end of
sticks and hang on nails proper
distance apart. You have no
idea how often you will want to
refer to the file thus kept, they
are always handy and take little
space hanging on the wall.
