This attic is just the place to hang
clothes on rainy or snowy washday.
It also makes a fine store room, which
is a valuable thing in any house. 1t
furnishes a place to put things that
you don't need Immediately and 1t
saves cluttering up the rooms with a
lot Of stuff that Is too good to burn
and not good enough to give away.
Most of US know what 1t means to
work hard to accumulate lot Of fur
niture and household traps, and we
cannot bring ourselves to dispose Of
1t even when we have good reason to
believe that we shall never need it
again.
You can forgive a New England
family for hanging onto an old heir

the attic where it won't worry other
folks. The persons owning the cure
