When there is danger of wet car

sponge in the bottom of the umbrel

If you have stand of china, which
is broken easily, put in the bottom oil
it a rubber mat or rubber tubing coil
ed into flat the desired size.
Never put an umbrella carelessly
into stand or you may thrust II
through the silk of one already there
Many n good umbrella is ruined in
this way.
