Furniture Man Tells How to Omen

Furniture Man Tells How to Omen
Dresser Drawers that Stick.
Patrons come to me every day and
say that the drawers Of dressers and
other furniture stick fast and cannot
be opened or shut without great diff
Guilty." said tue complaint man" in a
downtown furniture store. "This is a
trouble with much furniture, especial
" that which Is new, and is especially
common In the spring.
what do we do In such cases? We
simply tell the customers to wet the
surface Of bar of common laundry
soap and rub it firmly over the parts
Of the wood that stick. This makes
the surface smooth and slippery, and
in nearly all cases the drawer will
slide easily, especially after it has
been opened and shut few times.
This also is valuable with doors
which, in new houses, are likely to
settle or are apt to scrape at the top
as the building settles. Just use soap
on them, and save the trouble Of call
ing in a carpenter, who win plane the
varnish off.
China cabinet doors, with curved
glass, cause us lot Of trouble, but
most Of the tightness can be remedied
by the use Of soap and few applica-
tons Of sand paper"
The furniture man gave another
helpful hint"
IF mission furniture, with the dull
finish? loses It's smooth surface and
characteristic waxy appearance" he
said, do not despair and send it to
the renovator. Take a pound cake of
common floor wax and rub it over the
surface until the finish Is restored. If
you have no floor wax use beeswax,
and If you prefer something made es-
peeially for the purpose, you can buy
liquid preparations, one Of which will
remove the old finish, leaving the table
top or other object ready for the appli-
cation Of the other substance, which
will duplicate the original finish"
