The Peoples Warehouse Where it Pays to Trade. Save Your TPW Stamps, WH1 NOT MAKE YOUR OLD HOUSE LOOK NEW? Just a few suggestions to show how easily and eoooomioally it may be remodeled and modernized, A NEW FRONT PORCH, bnilt along modern lines, ooeta not a great deal, adds immeasurably to tbe appearaooe of (ha boose, besides adding greatly to its liveable and likeable qnalitiet. ONE 07 THOSE MODERN FRONT DOORS, really ooe of tbe most attractive featnrea of reoently built bouses. Yon could bave one pot in at email oost and witb very little ttonble. No ooe tbiog wonld make more notifiable improvement. WHY NOT flAVE MORE LIGHT? Larger openings from the bell to the adjoining room or between two adjoining rooms,, would prodnoe tbat effeot, witb moon additional oomfort. Additional light oould be aer onred by patting in a new tingle or mnllion (double) windows. Tbi oost of these ohangea is slight. The Introduction of a window seat, especially in a bay window, givet added ooziness at a very alight additional oott., ; THOSE NEW B.E A MED CEILINGS--Yon bave admired tbem in olbet houses. Eld yoo ever stop to think that tba higher oeilinga of yonr older hoose would permit of the introdaotion of ooe of them, most effeot lvely at a small ontlay? It wonld make a very fine setting for those new eleotrio flitnres yon would like so mnota. ' HARDWOOD FLOORS those vertical grain hardwood floors appeal to the boosewife. Yon woold be surprised to koow how easily we oould put ooe in for yon rigbt ovet tbe old one, without tearing op tbe room, aod all at a most moderate oost. MAKE THE STAIRWAY COUNT It should not be a convenience only, bot play Its part la tbe ioterior deoorative scheme as well. Jost a few alterations new balusters and rail or newel, or new treads and risers will help mnob. , THOSE BUILT-IN FEATURES they may ell be so easily introduced into tbe old hoose. Sideboards, ohloa olosets, kitoben cupboards, wben bnilt in tare tpaoe and harmonize with the rest of (be woodwork. New trim would likewise add a striking effeot as oompared with tbe old. WITH VERY LITTLE MUSS a great many improvements can be made without paitition work, so that there is none of tbe "muss" that aooompsnles new plastering work. Some of these improvements, whiob oan be made at a slight oost, will not only increase the oomfort of yoni boose bot sdd to its selling value as well. Oar WALLBOARD can te.'easily used simply nail tbis to yonr old walls-end paint over same. You will get a lot of suggestions for nslng wallboard from oor books oo the same.
