HOW TO HANG
PICTURES PROPERLY

Hang large pictures with two wires
and two hooks. Small sizes need q
single wire run. from center OF pic
ture to hook at moulding. or may be
fastened with push tacks.
Let the picture rest Hat again the
wall. by attaching wire near top Of
frame instead of one-third the way
down.
Hang about on eve level. usually
with lower edges on line.
| Don't hang too many. One medium
sized picture to well space Is
enough.
Large pictures in heavy frames
should not be hung in the house OF
ordinary size.
Don't hang on figured wall paper. It
detracts from effect OF picture.
Hang similar pictures together, for
example. water color doesn't l5ok

Dark pictures are better hung In
