IMPROVE HOME
AS XMAS GIFT
Building Industry Takes Lesson
From Department Stores,
Suggest improvements.

The building industry is taking a
lesson from department stores this
Christmas is now ready to furnish
new bathrooms, new kitchens, attics
and basement rooms and even new
houses wrapped up as gift" declares
A. j. McNIahan of the McMahan Lum-
Der Company, Johns-Manville distribu-
tors here.
The new ability of the industry to
enter the Christmas field has resulted
from more than four years of study
given the problem of "packaged"
modernization by the National Housing
Guild, Mr.. McMahan states. The plan
resulting from this study provides
quick service and quality construction
through the Guild system, which Co
ordinates the work of dealers, con-
tractors, architects, financing agencies
and others and makes possible a "one-
stop" service for all building.
Husbands can now walk into a build
ing material dealers Office, Mr.. NC
Mahan says, and find out in short or
der how much new bathroom, kitchen
or other improvement will cost; how
it will look; how long it will take to
finish, and how, through FILA or other
monthly payment plans, the work can
be financed. In other words, Mr.. Nc
Mahan states, the home Improvement
can now be bought exactly like any
other Christmas present-and be sure
of an even happier reception than most
others.
In the universal desire to give some
thing permanent, beautiful and useful
for Christmas, needed home improve
ments have too often been neglected
because of the difficulty of purchasing
and installing them," Mr.. McMahan
declares. To-day, with costs in the
modernization field low, with excellent
workmen available because of the
season, and with financing available on
truly sound basis, these reasons for
postpoing improvements no longer hold
good
Within a range of some 60 packages
is virtually every major home improve
ment needed in the average home, in
cluding new exteriors, insulation, wall,
ceiling and floor surfaces and home
equipment, each providing increased
property values, added comfort and
beauty and decreased upkeep costs.
There is perhaps no average home in
Ely or in the entire nation built before
1880 that is not in need of one or more
of these packages"
The almost universal wish of house
wives for these improvements was shown
in survey conducted by the National
Housing Guild in New Jersey, in which,
according to Mr. McMahan, hardly a
home owner was found who did no.
name at least one desired home i'm
provement. The most popular i'm
provement of all, Mr.. McMahan states,
was exterior paint and residing, also
popular were insulation and new kit
chens, baths and additional rooms
finished in the modern wall and ceiling
materials of the type developed in re-
cent years in the research laboratories
of Johns-Manville and other manufac-
turerS.

ITALIANS Will
help Finland
Ely Man Named Member of
Italian Federation to Raise
Funds in This City.

August Trinie of this city has been
named by Aldo Fellici president of the
State Federation of Italian-American
Clubs for the purpose of raising funds
to be turned over to the Finnish Consul
to aid the Finnish Red Cross in the
present crisis.
At a special meeting held at Duluth
last week by the directors of the state
federation, a resolution was introduced
by Anthony Steffano, which received
unanimous approval. Mr.. Steffano was
authorized at the meeting to confer with
the Finnish Consul in order to arrange
working plan whereby the Italian
state federation can better cooperate
with the Finnish people of Minnesota
and other organizations that have come
to the aid of distressed Finland.
The resolution relating to the action
taken by the Italian club and which
passed unanimously, explains itself fully
and reads as follows:
WHEREAS, the government of Fin
land has been an Independent nation
and in existence for many years last
past and by its acts and policies has
been a progressive, democratic, and
peace-loVing nation, and has been an
ideal for all other nations of the world
to follow, and has been the only nation
of the world that has recognized the
sanctity of its war debts to the United
States, and
WHEREAS, the very existence of
Finland and Of its peaee-loving citizens
is being jeopardized by the unwarranted
and brutal attacks of Russia, and the
lives of many Finnish people have al
ready been sacrificed, and
WHEREAS, the Italian and Finnish
people of Minnesota have always en-
joyed the friendly relations with one
another,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE
SOLVED, that state wide committee
be appointed to gather funds for the
aid of distressed Films which funds are
to be used for Red Gross work in Fin
land, and the committee is further
authorized and directed to use what
ever means possible in the matter of
raising said funds and to cooperate
with the Finnish Consulate office and
with all other organizations in the state
that are interested in assisting in this
worthy cause.
