CHANCE FOR HOME OWNER
Christmas Problem Solved for the
Handy Man.

The fortunate home owner who is in
terested in carpentry and has a well
lighted comfortable basement in which
to work has partly solved his Christ
mas gift problem. Such home access
series as picture frames and book ends
are easy to make and are always APP
preciated.
It is simple matter to make these
articles. All that is needed is a set of
ordinary carpenter tools, glue pot,
few cans OF quickly-drying lacquer and
some brushes. This pleasing activity
will mean a considerable saving OF
money, and gifts so made will be
doubly appreciated.
