leave the kids to help him Chats
always fun for daddy and go
up to the Gaithersburg Farmers
Supply store and pick out the
paint you want. They're having
a big sale on house paint, so you
can save money while you're
at it.
And, of course, if you're going
to buy new furniture at all this
year now is the time to get it.
CThe strategy here is to wait
until do-it-himself is through
with his project and completely
exhausted, then spring it on him.
Be sure to talk very fast. That
way before he knows what's
happened you've got a new bed

Whether you're re-doing the
whole house well, there must be
some people who can afford to
do the whole house at once) or
just a room at a time, Jacmar's
Furniture Store in Rockville is
the place to go.
They're having a big sale now,
on all types of furniture, acces-
sories and linens and draperies.
The last time 1 was in there I
saw some bedroom sets in very
new colors, including grays, navy
blues and new kinds of brown,
that l was crazy about. 1 get
sick and tired of furniture in
light brown, medium brown and
dark brown
In the replenishing the land
department, people have been
telling me about two kinds of
fertilizer that are supposed to be
very good. Having carefully
avoided anything that had to do
with chemistry all through my
school years, / can't tell you
thing about what they do for the
soil, but the people who sell them
can.
One is called Arcadian Soda,
and it's sold by Herbert Bryant,
Inc, Of Gaithersburg. The other
is some special treatment that
McInerney Farms, at TraVilah,
gives to farms. You can call Mr..
McInerney at PO. 2-3301 and find
out what it's all about.
The very, very newest thing
for the farmer is tractor with
power steering. eve sure have
come a long way from the iron
plow and the horse. But then,
maybe horses had p w r
steering.)
They will be shown and
demonstrated at the tractor de.
partment of Rockville Motors
Tuesday and Wednesday between
8 am. and 9 pm.
A couple of my friends have
jumped the gun on spring in the
new-car department. One of the
boys in the back room turned up
a couple of weeks ago with a
lovely new Buick. Seems he let
a certain lady take it out for
drive, and when she got back
she collared her husband and
said, Daddy, buy me one of
those!"
If you want to take one out
for a ride, or maybe even buy
one, the place to go is Miller
Fields Buick, a new leadership
on the edge of Rockville. Any
model you want, they have.
The other day one of my sec
ond cousins, Arnold Zimmerman,
walked into the office to tell me
about his new business here in
Rockville. He and his father
have taken over the old Shipley
auto place, and are going to do
repair work on all makes of cars
and small trucks.
Arnold (who is, incidentally,
one of my nicer second cousins)
is going to run it, and the same
service staff that worked at
Shipley will be in charge.
They're calling the place Zim's.
