enough. Half fill the decantel
with the same solution, and Their
shred up newspaper into very
small bits and stuff it into the
decanter. Use a generous amount
stirring it around with a stick

There is one thing above all that you should do
If you are looking at a new house. Certainly, you
should study such points design, size of rooms,
type of construction, plan of house, plumbing,
lighting and many other items. But, if you over
look one important thing it can undo all of the
wise choice you might make in the many other
features of the house
The one important thing is the key to
conscientious construction-the heat
ing plant. You should, first of all, ask
to see the heating plant in the home,
because it will actually tell you more
about everything else in the house than
any other feature.
If the heating plant bears the name CHRYsLER
AIR-TEMP, then you can be sure of many quality
construction features of the house
Why Does Chrysler Ar-Temp Heating
Tell So Much About House?
Look at it this way: If you builder with
the attitude of some builders :. save money, cut
corners make a nlgn prOllC ana QOnC worry TOO
much about quality then would you go to the
expense of installing the very finest heating plant
"a Chrysler Ar-Temp System?
Certainly Not!
But if you were conscientious builder trying to
build the very best house possible for the money,
then you would probably install Chrysler Air
Temp Heating.
The important point to keep in mind
over and above the quality Of the heat
ing plant, is this: The builder who cuts
corners not only cuts corners in the
heating plant you can bet your life
he'll cut them in a lot of other places
that you might not be able to see-for
while, that is
You can depend on the quality Of the home with
Chryser Air-Temp Heating because the builder
has put the best where most people least likely
to examine closely. And that means, more often
than not that he's also put the best quality Of
construction in other unseen areas.
That's why Chrysler Air-Temp Heating tells sd
much about house!
Look Carefully at the Heating Plant
Before You Buy House
If you will exercise caution and do this one i'm
portant thing =. look carefully for the name of
Chrysler AirTemp on the heating system Of the
house you're interested in buying you can save
yourself untold grief, disappointment and expense
Let US help you now-before you buy. Well be
glad to give you all Of the facts about heating
plants If you can't get them from the builder
Remember it's too late to change the name
Of your heating plant after you've signed the sales
contract.
Look now i. and when you see the name Of
Chrysler Air-Temp you be that you've
found the key to conscientious construction
