HOUSECLEANING BUGBEAR
BANNED BY NEW RULES
Dirt Kept Out by Sweeping
Walks, Steps and
Porches.
Housecleaning need not be the
"bugbear" it has long been regarded
In many households. If the work is
carefully planned, if the kind of fur
nishings that are easy to keep clean
are chosen and 'handled in the right
•way, and if provision is made for
keeping all the dirt possible out of
the house, there will be no nefed for
the upheavals that result in dis
comfort to the entire household.
The following are good rules by
which to organize the housecleaning.
Keep dirt out of the house by
cleaning the walks, steps, porches,
and sills regularly and often, by
screening windows and doors near
the ground, and by' insisting on hav
ing muddy shoes and coats cleaned,
or left outside.
Lessen the number of dust-collect
ing places, such as unnecessary cup
boards. grooved and carved wood-

or design, for dwellings, offices and stores. Experienced
workmen will measure the space and construct the awn
ings under our personal supervision.
Durable Awning Material
No awning material made is impervious to sun and rain,
but the materials that we use will retain their coldrs
\ and brightness under trying weather conditions for a
long time. We employ canvas in the printed stripes of
all desirable colors, also the plain khaki.
head Rod Saves Woodwork
We use head fixtures placed in the top of the awning
and fastened to hooks and eyes so that the woodwork
is not marred, and the awning material will not pull out
and tear as it will when tacks or eyelets are used. The
strain is evenly distributed over the entire fabric.
