Best Way to
Get a Bargain
on a
Sewing Machine

Some Of the very best buys you'll
ever find in sewing machines are
trade-inS.
Most new machines are built to
give at least IS to 80 good years Of
use. Yet, many homemakers
change machines just few years
after purchase. They become In
trigued by newer models, or
find that a console would suit
better than their portable, etc.
Heavy winter sales have loaded
us with trade-in machines. We've
Just finished counting 982. That's
nearly twice normal inventory
and has to be cut in a hurry.
That's how you can save a lot of
money. For example, just $24 will
buy q fine, workable sewing ma
chine, trouble-free, good for 10
years or more.
Just 1895 will deliver a complete
zig-za Necchi, only 7 years old,
with case and attachments. Orig
inally, it sold for $269.95.
We have $50 other good buys. No
limit to the famous brands. Take
your pick of Singer, Necchi, Elna,
Viking, Adler, Brothers, White or
others; straight or zig-zag; port
able or console.
All machines have been checked,
new parts added where necessary
and reconditioned in our own
shop. And remember, Capital is
WaShington's oldest independent
sewing machine company.
Come pick out a bargain at either
Capital store. Or phone. Tell us
your needs and budget. Well
have several machines sent to
your door for your selection.

The thanks for the harmonious new
look of hi-fi components may not be due
entirely to the power of woman. But it
probably is typical that when the man of

concerned with the sets appearance
than his wife While she may be equally
interested in high-quality sound repro
ductiOn, she is more likely to think about
the decorating aspects as we'll
At any rate, with eye appeal as we'll

For example. one ensemble has been
called the "egghead set" because of its
resemblance to two dictionaries and
typewriter case. Speakers in the dress
of rather fat books may be set in book
cases or elsewhere in full view. accord
ing to sound placement needs. The case
containing the bass speaker may be con-

This set is ideal for small apart

In another attractive scheme, the
speakers are disguised as screens "a

Even frankly outsized console con-

a 12-inch mid-bass, horn mid-range and
horn tweeter can be striking addition
to the decorating scheme of an extra
large room.

Hi-Fi Styled for Eye as Well as E;

Star Staff Writer

the latest in home hi-f1 systems at the
sixth Washington High Fidelity Music
Show starting next Friday in the Shore
ham Hotel. The exposition continues
through Sunday.
More than so rooms of equipment
will be on view, representing the work
of several hundred manufacturers in
this country and abroad.
Visitors to the show may inspect
examples of equipment ranging from
relatively inexpensive sets adaptable
to apartment living to the most elaborate
custom-built units.
The accent on eye appeal, points out
an electronics wholesale executive, was
fastened by the development of stereo-
phonic home reproduction, which re-
quires two speakers.
Speakers have been the crux of the
decorating problem, since record player,
tuner and amplifier can be taken care of
variously in closets, bookcases or cabi-
nets from the attic to the downstairs
game room.
Now, speakers have been treated in
interesting new ways. to permit more

THINE was when the advent of hi-fi into
Il home was enough to give the house
wife Rube Goldberg nightmares.
But that was yesterday. No longer
need a homemaker see her treasured
living room turned into an eyesOre of
wires and boxes having little in harmony
with the rest of the furnishings.
The latest home instruments for high
fidelity sound reproduction are showing
a high regard for the eye as well as the
ear.
To that end, manufacturers have
been working with furniture makers and
decorators on equipment design. Not
only has the old ponderous and bulky
equipment been streamlined and cut
down in size, but designers have come
up with ingenious ways of Disgusting
speakers.
AS a matter of fact, the industry is
now showing equipment that not only
does not strike a sour note in the ap-
pearance of a room, but actually adds
to the decoration.
