PACKING FOR MOVE.

PACKING FOR MOVE.
(From Mrs. r. OBJ, Kensington.)
To Mrs. D. E., Washington:
Regarding suggestions on packing
things to move. 1t all depends
on whether it is short or long
haul. If it is short: Pack dresses.
coats, suits, ETC., in car and hang
Immediately in closet. Pictures,
lamps, knick- -knacks also in car.
It's work but very satisfying. q
On long move use every bit OF
space in drawers. Wrap pictures
in newspapers and pack tight in
drawer, also clothes, even small
lamps. Then stuff drawers with
newspapers so they will be tight.
Dishes and kitchen utensils
should go in barrels. heavy articles
on the bottom. Wrap dishes in
paper napkins, then newspapers
so they don't have to be washed
on unpacking. Buy or beg as
many baskets as you can, they
are much easier to carry than big
cartons.
A chain store sold me 10 on
one move. Save one basket for
the last meal utensils, coffee pot,
toaster, etc. BY all means keep
a list of where you pack things
and number baskets, cartons.
barrels, mark them in crayon,
what they contain and where they
go-cellar, kitchen, etc. Keep a
candy box handy for screws.
tacks. picture hangers, crayons
and list.
I usually pack the clean bed
sheets in a laundry bag, mark
sheets if necessary so they are
ready to go on beds as soon as
beds are set up. Buy a couple OF
balls of twine and tie up cartons,
heavy paper over top of barrels
and baskets. Arrange for utili-
ties far in advance. I had to
move 10 times in seven years so
if there are any more questions,
I'll be glad to help you.
