Waterproof Sandpaper.

WATERPROOF sandpaper, now on
w the market, permits use OF the
abrasive under damp or even wet
conditions. and prevents raising dust
when cleaning painted, vanished or
enameled surfaces. Both sides have
been treated and the gritty material
does not readily come off, so that the
paper is said to last 10 times as long
as the ordinary product.

Bare rooms filled with golden
