A special built-in bulb-prot ector inside the lighthead shields the bulbfrom breakage by dropping or roughhandling. A new type of steel , distortion-proof reflector, coated withvaporized aluminum to multiply thelight output is also used. This newreflector coating prevents tarnishingor peeling, Bur ges s engineers relate.It uses regular D-cell batteries. Retail price is $3.29.

With the new Lockhart Lock-on itis no longer necessary to reachthrough the rungs of the ladder to aswaying pail that may splash itscontents. In addition to m aking pailuse easier, it eliminates much wasteof paint and time.

The Lock-on holder al so serves asan easy-grip handle for carrying th epaint pail up and down the ladder orto and from the job .

the craft and home bookshelfReviews By Theodore M. O'Leary

Heirloom Furnitureby Franklin H. Gottshall154 pages; illustrated ; the Bruce Publishing Co.,Milwaukee, Wisconsin; $9 .50 .

THIS IS the sort of book that will fillthe heart of the experienced homecraftsman with the same sort ofeagerness with which a confirmedgolfer greets a sunny Saturday morning in June. He just won't be ableto wait to get started.

Franklin Gottshall, who has spentmost of his adult life studying, making and teaching the making ofclassic pieces of American and English furniture, presents in "HeirloomFurniture" all the information' necessary for the reproduction of 35 piecesof period furniture. The pieces arethose which Mr. Gottshall thinks arethe best done by himself and by hismost gifted students over a long period of years. One of the pieces, aDuncan Phyfe desk, was built for thelate Henry Ford at his request whilehe was visiting the Martha Berry college where Mr. Gottshall was once aprofessor.

In a foreword, William C. Brucewrites of Mr. Gottshall : "He has correctly held that beauty in furniture

' Is never the result of an accident.True beauty is rather the outcomeof a combination of careful planningand of observation and study of therules of design tested and handeddown by the masters of bygone generations; it is also a result of keenunderstanding of the surroundingsinto which the given pieces areto fit."

Mr. Gottshall's book is primarilyaddressed to the craftsman who isalready familiar with the basic principles, techniques and skills of woodworking and cabinetmaking. In hisinstructions Mr. Gottshall makes apoint of showing only the best cons t r uc t ion. Joints are mortise andtenon, drawers and other membersare dovetailed. He advises veneeringwhere it should be used for lighterconstruction or to achieve beauty ofgrain. Special attention is paid tosuch matters as how to upholstersome chairs and rush bottom others.One chapter is devoted entirely tofinishes.

AT THE beginning of each chapter Mr.Gottshall comments on the origin andvalue of the particular piece of furniture involved. He gives a completebill of materials and , of course, detailed instructions for every process

involved in the construction of thepiece. Anywhere from 10 to 30 detailed illustrations and drawings areprovided for each piece of furniture.There are photographs of each pieceafter completion.

Because each piece of furniture isan important piece, and becauseprospective users of this book willundoubtedly want to know just whatprojects they will find in it, here theyare, in the order in which Mr . Gottshall presents them : Stauffer cornercupboard; Unger corner cupboard;Hepplewhite dining room suite-dining table; Hepplewhite dining ,roomsuite-sideboard; Hepplewhite diningroom suite-side chair and armchair;Welsh dresser; Chippendale lowboy;Colonial ladder-back chairs; turnedtrestle table and Colonial hangingwall shelf; butterfly table; lightSheraton side chair; Hepplewhiterocker for a small child; Colonialmirror; early Georgian slant - topdesk; Governor Winthrop secretary;Duncan Phyfe roll-top desk; spinetdesk; Early American flat-top officedesk; Chippendale wing chair; piecrust table; Sheraton-type grandfather's clock; William and Mary dressing table; mirror and stool; fourposter beds; Queen Anne highboy;Jacobean chest of drawers, andpaneled cedar chests .

Fortunate the home craftsman whohas the skill to tackle the projects inthis book. With help from FranklinGottshall he'll produce pieces offurniture for which his children'schildren will some day thank him.

Machine Woodworkingby Robert E. Smith203 pages; illustrated;McKnight and McKnight Publishing Co.,Bloomington, Illinois; $3 .60.

~ THIS IS the third and newest editionof a book first published in 1938, revised ten years later, and now revised once more. In all it has hadfifteen printings, evidence of its usefulness over the years. While writtenprimarily as a text for manual artsstudents, it can be used with goodresults by the person with a homeworkshop who is just getting acquainted with power tools and alsoby the experienced woodworker whomay want to check and see if he isgetting all he can out of his powertools .

Professor Robert E. Smith hasdivided his book into twelve sections,each concerned with the operations

of a different power tool, except forthe first section which deals withsafety in the workshop.

To give an idea of how the material in Professor Smith's book is presented, here is what he tells hisreaders in the section on the circularsaw: First he describes the saw,lists its parts, mentions the commonvarieties, tells how to adjust it, dealswith its blades and guards, lists itsuses and discusses its care. Then hetells the reader how to remove andmount blades, how to use the sawfor ripping, how to set and use thesaw for crosscutting, how to cutangles, how to cut a rabbet, a bevel,a groove, a dado or a groove, a gain,tenons, a molding, a tongue andgroove joint and how to fit blades.

Professor Smith uses this same detailed approach in dealing with theradial arm saw, band and jig saws,the jointer, planers, mortising machines, bench shapers and routers,hand routers and such other electrically operated tools as electricdrills and portable electric saw,power sanders, woodturning equipment and power and hand grinders.

One of the aspects of this bookwhich adds to its usefulness is thatnot only does it explain to the readerjust how to carry out all the basicoperations possible with the various 'tools, but it also includes considerable information on the care and adjustment of those tools.

The House of Your Dreamsby W. A. Kirkpatrick198 pages; illustrated; McGraw-Hili Book Co.,New York City ; $5.50.

FOIl MOST persons, one of the majordecisions of their lives is their choiceof a home. It's easy to make a badchoice and if you do you may sufferfrom it all of your life. But with agood basic body of information , it'sjust as easy to make a wise choice.A volume which will help you is "TheHouse of Your Dreams, " the purposeof which, in the words of its author,W. A. Kirkpatrick, is "to serve thosepeople who wish to buy, build or remodel and who need to know moreabout property and houses in orderto make such a large investmentwisely. The book will also be usefulto those who are constantly trying toimprove their surroundings, makingthem more efficient, more economical, more suited to the changingfamily, more beautiful."

one, often want to save back issues.The ideal way, of course, is to havethe magazines bound by a professional, but this is costly, particularlyif you have it done annually . Thereis no reason, however, why youshouldn't do the job yourself. Theprocess is made clear in "PictorialManual of Bookbinding," which alsotells you how to rebind books andbind manuscript pages into books.

Manly Banister has employed aminimum of text to tell you howbookbinding should be done. In fact,he much prefers to show you , ratherthan tell you, so he has includedmore than 200 photographs and drawings on the large pages that make uphis book. Every step in the severalmethods of binding which he coversis clearly illustrated. Six styles ofbookbinding are treated. The entiremethod of bookbinding is illustratedand d is cus s ed in the first style dealtwith . After that, only new processesare described as the ot her styles arecovered. For example, in the sectiondealing with style one, the operationsof binding and backing are fully described and illustrated. These arenot d es c r ibed and illustrated in thesections on other styles because themethod of the procedure is the same.This tends to keep the book from be ing cluttered with repetitious detail.

After listing and describing thetools and materials needed, including a press, which you are told howto make yourself, Mr. Banister discusses such matters as how to tellwhich way the grain runs in paper(in bookbinding, all paper must befolded with the grain), book nomenclature and the preparation of gluea nd paste.

Then come the sections on the various styles of bookbinding. Sty le oneis the locks t it ch sewing method forsi destitched magazines (those stapledthrough the side at the back) , Styletwo is for binding saddle-stitchedmagazines by sewing on ta pes . Stylethree is a method for rebinding abook by sewing on cords. Style fourinvolves the binding of a book ofsingle manuscript sheets by the whipstitch method. Style five, rebindinga book with half-binding in leatherwith false bands and hollow back, isparticularly useful if some book youtreasure or have picked up s econdhand has a binding that should be replaced. Style six involves a fullleather binding achieved throughflexible sewing.

In a final section Mr. Ban iste r tellsyou how to apply the finishingtouches to your book by putting thetitle on the back, either by stampingit d ir ec tl y on the back or stamping iton a separate piece of bookcloth,leather or paper and pa s t in g it on.H e informs yo u h ow t o make the toolsneed ed for the stamping process.F ina lly Mr. Baniste r d evot es a coupl e of pages to information on thepres e r v a ti on of leather bindings andth e mak ing of repairs to d a m a gedbooks.

Pictoria l Manual of Bookbindingby Manly Ba n is te r40 pages; illu slraled; The Rona ld Pre ss,New York City ; $ 3 .75.

IN PART 2, called "Achieving the RightEnvironment" Professor Kirkpatricktakes up in detail such matters asusing and enjoying the sun to thefullest extent (he even includes tablesshowing the sun angles for the UnitedStates in the various months of theyear) , insulation, temperature control, lighting, effective wiring, flooring materials and counter tops, con trolling sound, color in the house andpaints and natural finishes.

The book is copiously illustratedwith photographs of a number ofho uses , d r a w in gs , and charts showing such things as electrical loads andcircuits and the relative merits ofvarious types of floor coverings,counter tops and the like.

Professor K ir k pa tr ick dis c l a i m shaving had any intention to write ahandbook. What he has done, he says,is to attempt to show why some ideaswill work, why some won't , whysome arrangements are more economical and efficient than others .He has sought to de a l with basicprinciples which will remain constant with the passage of time ratherthan plugging for anyone particularstyle of architecture, form of interiordecoration or the like. Adding to thevalue of his book is the fact that heis aware that to most of us the matter of costs is all-important. He alsoknows that cost and value are notthe same thing.

a home you must decide whether tobuy a house, remodel one or - buy alot and build on it. Professor Kirkpatrick, of the department of architecture at the University of SouthernCalifornia, begins his book with aconsideration of these possibilities,particularly as to the financial outlay involved in each. Once you havedecided what you want to do, you arefaced wit h the problem of choosingyour new address, Professor Kirkpatrick offers good advice on whatyou should consider in making thischoice. Then he gets even morespecific and tells you how to go aboutchoosing the plot of ground in theevent that you have decided to build.A number of technicalities are involved in buying and financing aproperty and the author fills you inon them.

Every house can be divided into"use areas ." The basic ones are theliving, dining, service, sleeping, bathing, entrance and garage areas.These all bear a dir ect relationshipto one another and Professor K ir kpatrick considers each of the areasand those relationships in chapterswhich round out the first part of hisbook. Incl uded also is a chapter onoutdoor living.

Small Serving Bar\lVith Matching Stool

ROBERTA L. FAIRALL

Sodas, sandwiches-whatever your guests prefer-can be made and served at this compact knottypine bar.

THIS LITTLE r ustic bar a nd matching s too l of knotty p inefit handsomely into den or dining r oom to help servebeverages a nd snacks . S impl e h and tools can build itso lid ly w it hou t any cabinetmaker's fancy joints. J us tfo llow a logi c al construction procedure.

With the exception of the footrail, which is 1% x 1%"Dou gla s fir, the entire p r oj ect is cut from 3/4 " knottypine lumber . Sel ect only stock having small, tight knots,and take advan tage of their pattern for d ecor a t ion by la ying pi eces si de by side, and checking their distributionbefore cutting. Enlarge full-size templates, on lightweight cardboard , for the curved ou tlines . Then, la yout members directly on the wood us ing dimensi on sgiven in the Materials L is t and illustration s . Be sur eto a llow a t le a s t 1/1 6" between m embers to gi ve eno ughroom for the saw cut a n d later sanding .

Complete the layouts by marking aroun d templatesto put in the cur ved lines . Next, s aw out, a nd true upeach pi ece . Locate , and mark positions of joinin g pi eceson both sides of the lumber . Bore for screws . All jo in tsare set in white pla s ti c r esin glue, and drawn togetherwith brass screws . The trick is to start a couple offinishing nails in the pi ec e before applying glue ; thend r ive th em in to prevent the joint from slipping wh ilescrews are turned in . If you wi sh, these small finishingnails may be left protrudi ng , and removed a fte r thegl ue has set. or the heads may be countersunk and covered wi th wood filler. They a re h a r dl y noticea bl e , butm ake co nstruction go a lot eas ier . Hea ds of the brasss crews are left showing .

Applying th ese facts to your home,you'll find tha t insu la tion works intwo ways. In the wi nter, the heatedair in your home tries to escape tothe outside air th r ou gh the floors,walls and ce il in gs . In the summer,the warmer outdoo r a ir tries to enteryour home th e same way.

Unfortuna te ly, s to ne, brick, concrete and plaster-materials used inhome construction - are r elativelypoor insul a tor s because they areporous and ai r passes through themeasily . Rock woo l, on th e other hand,is made up of million s of dead airce lls wh ich effectively p r event heatfrom entering or lea v in g your hom e .

A section of r ock woo l four inchesthick , for ex a m ple , has th e in sul a t ioneffect of 125 inches of stone , 120inches of concrete , 70 in ches of brickor 15 inches of wood. By lining ceilings a nd walls with a sufficient th ickness of rock wool, yo u can make yourhouse much more comfortable in bothwinter and summer, and bring aboutconsiderable savings in both fu el andair conditioning costs .

For instance, le t' s look at the results of a s ur vey by two Universityof Illinois r esearchers on how muchwas saved by insulating a fiv e-roomranch hom e with fo ur in ch es of rockwool in the ceiling and thr ee inchesin th e walls .

Im m ed ia te savings were obtainedin the installation of a home air con d it ione r because the insulated homesneeded only a two-ton unit comparedt o the six-ton unit required by th esame home without insulation. Sa vings : between $700 and $900, depending on the make.

Sa ving s on cooling costs in th e insulated hom es ranged from $258 ayear in J a ckson v ill e , F lorida, to $116a year in St . L ou is , to $50 a year inN ew York City.

Dur in g the winter, the same homesshowed savings in fuel bills rang in gfrom $24 a year in J a ckson vill e to$95 a yea r in St. L ou is a nd $110 inN ew Y or k .

H ow much did it cost to insulatethese ho uses ? Approximately $240.

Of course , the cost of insulation willvary, d epend in g on the size and needsof your home. Insula t ion costs lessw hen it is installed while the homeis being built, but old home or n ewh om e, proper insulation pays off insavings a nd comfort.

THE HOMEOWNER or prospective hom ebuyer may well ask if m ost homesare built with the proper amount ofin sula t ion . The answer is : not usually .

Experts advise six inches of cei linginsulation or its equivalent and threeinches of insu lation in th e walls ofa h om e . Most homes bui lt be foreWorld War II had no insulation at a ll ,and postwar homes vary. Some h avea few inches of ro ck woo l in the ceiling only . Other s have no ne at all.If you are buying a home, it w ill payto check to de termine if th er e is sufficient insulation .

In existing homes, insulation needsw ill differ. If your house has a heatedbasement, only ceilings and wallsne ed be insulated. Wh ere the atticis uninhabited, the insulation shou ldbe placed in the attic floor. Where theatti c is lived in , the insulation shoul dbe placed in the attic ceiling andextended up the attic walls from thew alls of the rooms below.

If yo u r house is built over a crawlspa ce, the sides of the "crawl" shouldbe cover ed with insu la ti on board andthe ground covered with a good gradeof roofing felt . Openings leading intothe house, such as a r ound plumbing,should be filled wi th ins ula t ing materia l.

If yo u r house is built on a concr e teslab there should be a belt of insulat ion a rou nd the outside edge ofthe s la b and, if possible, between theslab a nd the footing w a ll.

Added in sulation ca n be obtainedby weather-stripping do ors and window s ills, by using a wnings orjalousies in the summer, by installingstorm windows or storm doors orusing insulating glass. If your househ as a built-in garage, it too shouldbe in sulated. The ceil ings of openporc hes s hould be insulated if thereis living a rea over he a d .

There a re other products besidesr ock wool that help in sula te a house.These include wo od fiber board suchas in sulating s hea th ing which is applied to the wood framework of anew home. Insu la ti ng boar d andpl anks a nd insulating ceiling ti les areused to finish a ttics a nd playrooms.

This piece of furnitu re keeps the youngsters entertained two ways.On one side it's a blackboard, on the other a table for an electrictra in with track attached.

Roll Away Blackboard and Train TableRALPH G. SMITH, JR.

IN T HE SE days of la r ger famili es andm ore compact houses, space is oftena problem . This com bina t ion bl a ckboard and tr ain-table helps solve theprobl em in two ways-it do es doubleduty , and it is easy to move, cl eana ro und and store .

Standing upright, it is a blackboard large enough to allow three orfou r children to give full r ein to theira r t isti c urges . With the folding legsin place and tipped to form a table ,it is perfect for that electric trainthat your young engineer has to setup on th e living room rug and takedo wn when com pany comes or whenmoth er ge ts tired of tripping over it .Th e tr a ck is fastened permanently

to th e table , so it is r ead y for pl ay ina ji ffy . If there is not suffici ent floorspace in Junior' s r oom to accom modate the table when in " t ra in position," it can be first rolled out to th efamily room or porch, and roll ed backwhen play time is ove r.

As for construction. the bl ackboardtrain-table is a simple a nd r apid jobwhich you can do with or d ina ry handtools and standard stock lumber andplywood.

The table itself is a piece of l/z -inchplywood. The board shown in theillustrations is 4 feet by 6 feet. Thesize can, of co urse, be varied to sui tindividual r eq u ir em ents. You shouldbe certain that it will accommodate

the train track layout you desire,however. The plywood should befairly smooth on both s ides . " AB"or " AC" grade should do the jobwell . Use the smoother side for th ebl ackboard.

The lumberyard where you buy theplywood will cut it to size a t little orno cos t .

The edging of th e board is s ta ndardI-by-2 inch ' stock.

First , cut the top and two sideedge strips carefully to fit , a s sh ownin Figure 1. Leave the bottom edgefor later. Attach the top a nd sideedge strips to the board with finishing nails and glue. White glue isvery satisfactory for this pu rpose.

THE BLACKBOARD SIDE of the com b ina tion is big e noug h to let the whol e fami ly get in to the act.

Next, cut the two bottom supportsfrom 2-by-4 stock. E ach of thesepieces is 16 inches long. Cut th e tria n gular braces from a short piece of2-by-6 stock, to the dimensions shownin F igure 2. The grain should runpara ll el to the hypotenuse of th e tria ng le. Care shou ld be taken to getthe a ngles exactly square so that theboard will s tand s t r a ig ht upright.

Atta ch th ese triangular braces tothe 2-by-4's previous ly cut , using longna ils or 2%-inch screws, and glue.Wh en the brace assemblies are comple te d , ca r efu lly position the boardon the brace assemblies, accordingto tl:e m e a surements shown. It isbest to d o this by pl a cing the braceassem blies on the floor, having anelc e r hold the board upright and inpositio n. Now drill pil ot holes for thescrews and place 2-inch screwsthrough th e board and in to the t r i-

angular braces of the bra ce assembly, using glue as befor e. Two 2-inchmetal angle braces are now screwedtight to the train side of the boardon each brace assembly. Us e %-inchscrews for this pu rpos e so that theywill not show through on t he otherside of the board.

Now cut the bottom edging material to fit, and attach with fin ishingnails and glue as before.

THE BOARD itself is now complete, andcasters are attached . Drill a l/4-inchhole 1 inch from each en d of each

2-by-4 of each br a ce assembly . Insert the caster sleeves, poundi ngthem in firm ly . Two-inch casters ofthe ba ll-bearing ty pe should be usedfor easy ro lling.

Next step in construction is to pa in tthe blackboar d si de (the s ide towhich the tria ngul a r braces areattached) with special blackboardpaint, following the directions on thecan carefully. When the blackboardhas dried , pain t the remaining trima nd the train s ide of the board.

The folding legs are made of 2-by-2inch stock, each 9 inches long . They

are attached to the board wi th smallhi nges as shown in the photograph .Br a ces are the card table type, 10inch size, available at any hardwares tore . Be sure to get one "right" andone "left," as they are not the same.

The last step is to assemble thetrain track and attach it to the trainside of the board. The HO gaugetrack shown has holes provided ineach track section for that purpose.Half-inch wire brads were used. Ifdesired, light model scenery, houses,tunnels and the like can be attachedpermanently to the board with glue .

ELMA WALTNER

IF JUNIOR likes to draw he will appreciate this drawing board that is fittedwith a continuous roll of paper. Whena picture is completed the paper isdrawn down and torn off against thecrayon stick edge and presto! a new,clean surface is ready for drawingon. A roll of shelf paper furnishesthe drawing surface. There is alsoa drawer for crayons, pencils andother necessities for the young artist.

Cut the two side pieces "A" according to the dimensions shown inFigure 2. Sides are cut of %" pinestock. Along the inside top edge ofeach side piece cut a dado Ih" deepand l/4 " wide. See view, Figure 1for the front view which shows theassembly. The top piece fits into thedado cuts on the side pieces for aneat top appearance.

Cut the cross sticks "B" a nddrawer slides " C" of % " stock a ccording to dimensions shown aboveFigure 1. F asten drawer slides in

place on the insides of the side pieces.Then assemble side pieces and crosssticks using wood screws. For assembly diagram see Figure 2 and Photograph A.

Cut the drawer front "E" andhandle "G" from % " pine stock. Cutdrawer sides " R". back " I" andbottom "F" from l/4 " plywood according to dimensions shown onFigure 3. Make d a do cuts along theinside edges of the drawer frontends V2" deep and l/4 " wide. Dr a wersides fit into the dado cuts againstthe drawer front for a neat fit. Assemble th e drawer using glue andbrads. Note that the drawer front iswider than the sides and back. Seton the sides and back pieces so thetop edges a re flush with the top ed geof the front. the bottom edge of thefront extending beyond the r est ofthe drawer assembly. This extens ionacts as a d rawer stop whe n it strikesthe front crosspiece of the frame.

See Figure 3 for drawer assemblydetail. Photograph B shows thedrawer being fitted to the frame forchecking fit before putting on frametop.

Fit the top in place after spreading glue along the dado cuts of thetop sides (Photograph C) . Not e thatthe sides extend beyond the backedge of the top piece . The front edgeof the top piece is set flush with thefront edges of the side pie ces.

Simple Ways

Twist two lengths of baling wiretogether at 18" intervals to make adouble strand of wire. Then string acrisscrossed pattern of "doublestrand" wire-from 21/2 " clotheslinehooks inserted in the underside ofwood window sills or eaves above(A), to 8" turnbuckles attached to 14"notched wood stakes at the base ofthe facade (B ). When you fastenyour decoration to the wire patternat several points (just above thetwists), it will not slip.

SIDE

through each screw eye and twistends tightly about decoration.

For flush doors cut three I" x 3"tin strips from ordinary tin cans. Ineach, punch two holes (with nail) atone end and one hole at the other.Bend strips into right angles to formflanges. Tack one flange on top andboth sides of door, using tape underdoor side of flange to prevent marring. Run baling wire through singleholes and twist tightly about deviceto be hung.

These same principles may beapplied to the hanging of most doorway and facade d ecor a t ions , regardless of their size and shape.

If vertical hanging is not feasible,try a horizontal arrangement. Fastenclothesline hooks along door andwindow frames with turnbuckles andthe crisscrossed wire pattern attached to the hooks. Use short piecesof wire to fasten your decoration tothe wire pattern.

To mount door decorations, holdd ev ice to door panel and mark pointsa long the moldi ng (at joints, if possible) for insertion of o/s" screw eyes.One each at the top and bottom-orat either side-should serve as "anchor points" fo r most devices.

THE BEST WAY to get out of the " b rownie" clo ss in pho tog rophy is to do a t least some of yourown deve lop ing . You can pay fo r the fun you will have with the mon ey you sa ve , b ut you nee d aplace to wo rk. He re 's a simple fir plywood do -it-yourself da rkroom storage cab ine t with she lfspoce ond pape r sa fe that 's easy and economical to build.

32 « WORKBENCH

THIS IS a simple darkroom cabinetwhich can be built by even an amateur at minimum cost with fir plywood. You'll still have to depend onthe kitchen for water and washing ,but the cabinet has a paper safe,shelf storage, a good counter surface ,and plenty of storage space below thecounter.

You can make it with three piecesof plywood: one %-inch panel, 4' x 8',one Vz -inch panel, 4' x 2'6" , and one%-inch panel 4' x 5'. The followingwill also be needed: 1 x 2 lumber forthe shelf supports , a metal moldingstrip for the counter top, a resilientplastic surfacing for the counter top ,adjustable shelf standards for shelvesand paper safe , some felt strips forthe paper safe, glue and fastenings .

The job should be started by cutting out the parts for the maincounter cabinet. If necessary, adjustany dimension to your availablespace. The parts for the drawer supports should be cut from the 1 x 2lumber.

Now, dado the grooves in the bottom piece for the cabinet to take th esliding doors and dado the front edgeof the shelf support on th e underside .Make the grooves for the bottomedges of the doors 5/16" wid e an d% " d e ep. Make the grooves for theupper edge of the doors % " d eep soyou can lift into place and take themout when necessary.

Assemble the framework for thedrawer supports.

Nail and glue the back of the cabinet to on e of the side pieces. Thenattach the second side the same way.Ins ta ll the bottom of the cabinet.Put the drawer support into positionand attach the drawer guides, "M".

Carrier-aLARRY ROTHMAN

HERE'S A workshop project that willwarm the hearts of the pint-sizedTV-addicts in your house on Christmas morning. Now that the television manufacturers have made itpossible for each small citizen tohave a portable set of his own-howabout building a TV camera for him,too? Of course this model runs on"kid power" not electric power. Butit will provide many winter hours ofindoor fun for the sprouts who cancreate their own imaginary TVshows.

Our kid-sized camera is made upof the following sections: Dolly-thesmall wheeled platform on which thecamera is mounted; Pedestal-theupright portion attached to the dolly,and upon which the camera ismounted; Mounting - the circularpiece placed on top of the pedestalthat supports the camera; Camerathe box which holds the turret withits three lenses a nd transmits thepicture image (of course this onewon't). We will also have an Eyepiece-through which the cameraman looks to see the scene he istaking; a Guide Bar - the handlewhich the cameraman uses to turnhis camera left and right, and Earphones which connect (in the caseof a real camera) the cameramanto the director in the control room.

Let's make the dolly (Photograph1) first. It is made from a piece ofI" x 12" board, 18" long (we usedwhite pine). Cut a piece of I" x 2"the width of the platform and use asbracings at either end of the dolly toserve as axles for the wheels. Thewheels were cut on a band saw fromI" x 12" pin e too, and are 5" circleswith '/.!" holes drilled in the exactcenter. To simplify mounting of thewheels, so that they would rolleasily, we used heavy, square-headedscrews. The bracings were drilledfirst so the screws wouldn't splitthem and they were screwed to thebottom of the dolly about lh" fro meach end .

The pedestal (Photograph 2) wasalso made from a piece of white pineI " x 12"-30" lon g . It is l 11h " at the

bottom and 5" a t the top. We centered it on the dolly 1%" from oneend and affixed it from underneathwith wood screws. To add stability,because of its height and the weightof the camera on top, 2" shelvebraces were attached to each sideat the bottom and to the dolly.

On top of the pedestal is a 5" circle(Photograph 3) with a %" hole drilledin the exact center. Through thishole projects a flatheaded %" bolt(about three inches long). This boltwill eventually be fed through a holein the bottom of the camera andthen will act as a swivel so cameracan be panned (moved from left toright) .

OUR PLAYTIME image-orthicon cameraitself comes next; it houses the turret mount and its component parts .The turret (Photograph 4)-the flatplate that holds the three lenses-ismade of an II" circle; in this casewe used %" plywood. To it areaffixed, with wood screws, threeassorted sized cans. Each can simulates a lens so we chose a frozenorange juice can for the usual 2"lens; a vegetable soup can for the3%" lens and a No. 2 crushed pineapple can for the 5%" or wide anglelens. These give the impression ofthe three different size lenses foundon real TV cameras. To this turret,with its lenses already attached(Photograph 5) we mounted a I"dowel made from a discarded broomhandle, the length of the camera(16 %"). Eventually at the other endof this dowel we will add the "lensselector. " This is also a 5" circle ofwhite pine that acts as a handle base,and a screen door or drawer handlethat when turned will also turn theturret at the other end. Beforemounting the turret mechanism, drilla one-inch hole in the front and backpieces of the camera box, in theexact center. We suggest nailing thetwo pieces together with small bradsso that the holes will be in the sameexact position in each.

For the camera (Photograph 6) itself you will need six pieces of wood(we used plywood here). Top a ndbottom sections are 10%" x 16%";sides 13" x 16%" and front and back10%" x 13". Using finishing nails,first assemble the top and bottom,front and back; do not put sides onat this time. Next put the dowel(after affixing the turret securelyto it-use two brads) through thehole in the front and pass throughthe hole directly opposite it in therear . Screw or nail handle-base tothis dowel, then fasten handle tobase. Test this apparatus by revolving handle to see that it is firm andmoves turret freely in clockwise andcounterclockwise directions. L enseswill move with turret, of course,thereby simulating lens selection bycameraman.

To make the eyepiece, us e a pieceof 2" x 4" scrap, 3" lo ng. Make a

d ia gon a l cut along the two-inch widthat about a 45-deg ree angle . F r omthe inside of th e back s ide of thecamera screw the eyepiece to therear of the camera, centered aboutone inch from the top .

NOW WE are ready to nail on the si depieces of the camera; but fi rst placea large washer over the bo lt stickingup from the 5" c ircle atop thepedestal. Then about 5" back, in thecenter of the camera bottom, drill a%" hole. Through th is ho le feed theshaft of the bolt. Using a washeragain, first, put on the nut and tightenso the camera is firm, but still canhave movement from left to right.Now, nail on the sides and yourcamera is complete.

To add a professional touch, cutanother section of the dowel 24" long .A discarded bicycle handl e- b a r grips lipped on the end will complete theeffect (Photograph 7) . Bor e two holesin the dowel about six inches apa rtand with wood screws affix thisguide bar to the bottom of either s ide(b ut pr efe r a bl y the right) or the

camera, underneath. This guide barcan then be used by the junior cameraman to turn the camera in itsare, and for moving the do lly in orout for close u p and act ion shots. Apair of earphones can be attached tothe camera, too, so that the cameraman can lis ten to directions from thecontrol room.

It's time to paint your camera. Useany good grade of paint . We suggestblack a nd aluminum. Paint the turret silver and the lenses black; thecamera, pedestal and dolly blackand the wheels and handle basesilver. T he eyepiece is black withsilver to simulate the glass area .The guide bar should be silver, too,with a black rubber grip.

A MO TION producing appliance is onedesigned to cause a us a bl e motion.The other ty pes of appliances areeither hea t producing or combinationheat and motion produc ing appliances.

You might reason that power toolsand even electric trains should takepreced en ce over elec tric mixers, ourpr es en t topic . You would , of course,be entirely correct in this assum ptionif common sense r uled th is worldinstea d of wo men. Th eir twistedth ink ing lea ds them to believe thatthey should have nonessentials likepots and pans , lu xur ies like ironsa nd toasters even before the menhave been able to fu lly equi p theirworkshops! Plea s e continue fartheras we will even tua lly get to powertools in this series. T he purpos e nowis to save yo u enough money to bea ble to afford them . You see if them ixer br ea ks down it m ust be fixedbut of course if yo ur electric drill,for example, sho uld br eak down youm ust buy a new one whi le you fixthe old one-to guard against anypossible inconvenience!

T he mixers we shall be mostlyconcerned with are the ordinaryhous ehold varie ty in which an elect r ic motor drives two beaters. T hemain types used are the pedestaltype shown in P hotogr aph A and theportable ty pe shown in PhotographB . The larger type is heavier andmore powerful with an assortmentof available a ttachments for grinding , j uicing, e tc. While not as powerful or as versatile from the standpoint of job potential , the portablemixer is much h a ndier for lighterwork. Although they are very muchthe same, the ped es tal type is necessarily somewhat more elaborate inseveral aspects that will be treatedlater.

Appliance r ep ai r m en know thatquite often complaints are receivedabout appliances which are not thefault of these dev ic es at all . The onlyreason the a ppliance los es the battleis because it, even as you and I.cannot outtalk the women. Themoral of the story is this : Know howthe appliance operates when it isworking correctly and know theproper way to use it a nd you will bea head of the game. Any appliancewith an assortment of attachments(commonly known as gadgets or cont r a ptions ) is in for a tough time untilthe lady of the house learns to us e

them pr operl y . Wh ile none of themixer attachments are very difficul tto un derstand they do make thema intenance problem somewhatmore complex for you. A few of theadditiona l attachments and theirpa r ts available are shown in Photogra ph C.

Ba s ic a lly a mixer's electrical circuit co nsists of a series wound, universal AC-DC ty pe motor. This circuitis shown in Figu re 1. You will recallfrom previous di scuss ions that a universal series type motor has th e 'fie ld co ils and the a rmature con ne cted in ser ies. It will operate fromei ther a lternating current or directcur rent (AC or DC ) . In order to provide this feature it is necessary tha tthe a rmature incl ude a commutatorand brushes- a freque n t point forservice in this ty pe of motor. In aseries motor some pr ecaution shouldbe taken to pr even t over -speedingwhen the m otor is no t u nder load.Actually F igu r e 1 is very m uch oversimplif ie d as we shall find outsho rtly. F ir s t , however, let us investig a te va rious types of speed controlsused on electric m ixers . These s peedcon t ro ls mus t be properly understoodfor they are not encountered on manyof the other motion produci ng appliances fo und around the house, as theyare not needed . An electric mixermust operate under a variety of condit ion s . It is not a lways mixing subs tances of the same consistency noris one s peed recommended for a lluses.

Speed Controls

A COMMON type of speed control thatalso incorporates a centrifugal governor is used by the mixer shown inP hotog r aph A. In addition to allowing a speed to be selected, the mecha nism also maintains this speed.This is accomplished by inserting aset of points in th e electrical circuitas shown by F igur e 2. Obviouslywhen the points are open, currentwill not flow. It can now be seen thatif the opening a nd closing of thepoints can be controlled then themotor s peed can be r egula ted. Whilethe device should a llow automaticspeed control the user of the mixermust be able to select the speedrange desired. Sin ce the points willbe r evolv ing ins t ead of stationarythey m ust obey the laws of centrifugal force a nd th ey can be m ade responsive to a r matur e speed.

FIG URE I -Basic series motor circuit which, withrefinements, is used by the electric mixers.

FIGU RE 4 - Theo retically, at high speed thepo in ts would be fo rced into this pos ition by therapidl y rot ating a rma ture .

Se ver a l drawings will be used toexplain this action. It is necessary tosimplify the drawings for pur posesof illustration. They will differ somewhat in appearance from the ac tualmechanism but operating principl esremain the same. The points, ofcourse are attached to the armatures haft ~nd therefore react to armature speed .

Figure 3 shows the position of thegovernor points at rest. Wi th speed,centrifugal force tends to s traigh tenthe points as in Figure 4. Althoughthe angle of the points with respectto the armature shaft will vary withthe speed the points still remainclosed.

As the armature speeds up, centrifugal force tends to make the pointss t r a ic hten out more and more. If thepoints are caused to break contactanywhere al ong their angle of travel' he s peed o f th e motor is therebylimited bec ause cu vr ent will cease tofl ow in th e c-rcu it . As the motorslows down th e points will a ga inclose a nd the moto r will speed un tothe predeterrr-in ed point only. Th isis made possible by the control plateshown in Figure 5. whir-h slides backand forth on the arma ture shaft . Ifthe control pla te is moved Ia r therto the left, the points will be forced

Slowerspeed a n d correspondi ngly less powe rcan be selected in this typ e of m ixerby simply shifting the brushes to amore inefficient position. B y shiftingthe brushes to the most efficient position maximum speed and powercan be obtained . The external speedselection lever, then, controls a movable brush assembly free to rotate acertain number of degrees aroundthe circumference of the commutator . Figure 9 is a wiring diagramof this type of mixer .

SPEED SELEC TORS WITCH

ANOT H ER MEAN S of controlling thespeed of series motors is the tappedfie ld method. This is used on somemixers and is used on the po rtablemixer shown in this article . It is lesscomplicated because it d epen ds uponthe operator to select the desiredspeed and doe s not have the automatic featu res of the centrifugalgovernor ty pe. F igu r e 8 shows whatis meant by a tapped field . Lea dsare connected from various points onone of the field coils to contacts on arotary speed co ntrol switch . Sp eedcontrol is affecte d by putt in g eithermore or less of the fie ld coil into thecircuit . With the switch on " low" allof the coil is used and there is maxim um resistance and minimum current flow in the motor circuit, resulting in the slowest speed. On "medium" less of the coi l is used, resistance in the circu it is less andcurrent fl ow is grea ter , resulting ingreater m ot or s peed . The high pos it ion use s eve n less of the fie ld coil ,resistance is further re duced andcurrent incr ea s ed , giving the motorits maximum s peed. T his system ispractical on ly within certain limitsbecause obviously one co uld no t keepon reducing the us e of the field coilto the point at which the field coilswere not be in g used at all and atthis point ha ve maximum motorspeed because of minimum r esistance! This reasoning would be muchlike that of the fleet-footed squirrelwho practiced running back and forthin a long hollow log . Each time hereached the end he would stick hishead out, turn around a nd start forthe other end of the log . H e be gan toget so fast a t this that he soon reasoned that it wouldn't be very longbefore he could s tick his head out ofboth ends of the hollow log at thesame time. Mor al : Sometimes reasoni ng isn ' t r ea son a bl e.

One of the earlier methods of controlling food mix e r s was th e a djusta ble brush method . F or m a x imumpower the brush es m us t be id e allyloca ted with r espect to the commutator. If they a re shift ed from this

PHOTOGRAPH I-Checking for a ground withoutdi sa ssembling the mixe r. This test is valid anlyif ther e are na parallel connected units such a sca pa cito rs in the circuit which would givecontin uity to grou nd .

It can so metimes be dete rminedwheth e r or not a grounded co nditionex ists wi thou t disassembling th e appliance if the internal circu it isknown. Su ch a hookup is shown inP hot ogr a ph I with the tes t prodtou ching th e be aters (no t part of theelectrical cir cu it) a nd the clip atta ched to one of th e pron gs on th eplug . Hor rors , th e neon bul b glows!That would be a correct assumptionfor a non-Work benc he r bu t a n incor r ect di a gn osis for you. In rechecking F igure 12 you will r em ember thata capaci tor asse m bly is used and th a ton e of th e leads is ground ed. Sincea capacito r will not block AC in acircuit (as it will DC ) co nti nu it y isshown in this instance because theleakage indicator is connected to anAC outlet. On a mixer not using thecapacitor assembly (such as ou rportable one) this would be an entirely valid test though.

I have mentioned before th at co m mercial testers as well as homemadetesters should be handled with thecare and respect expected of anycraftsman. I have also mentionedthat some utility testers , includingthe on e shown as well as certainhomemade testers, if used improper ly and under certain conditions ,could be ex pe c ted to gi ve you as hock . Th is could happ en a ny timethat the unbroken le ad of the testerwa s connected to the " ho t" si de ofa n elec t r ica l outl e t if you happen edto tou ch a test prod while your bod ywas also in contact wit h a goo dground (such a s a s tove or wate rpipe ).

It so happen s that a ske ptica l acqu aintance of m ine believed he ha da utili ty teste r of which this was nott r ue . It a lso ha ppe ns that he has (o rhad ) th e very bad habit of using thelarge wo rk space on his w ife ' s electric al s tove for his electr ical tinkerin g . Bein g a major 220-volt appliance,this s tove is very well grounded-asis r equired. One nigh t he plugged inhi s tester in tending to check an a p-

pli ance for leaka ge when he a cci dently d r opped one of the tes t leadson a n exposed portion of the s tove.The sparks flew, the lights went out,a nd the mad scientist ble w a fu sein m ore ways than on e, but he is nowa believer. Incid en tally a vo ltm etercheck between ea ch of the s ides ofan electr ica l outlet and a ground will,by virtue of it s readin g, indicatewhich is the "hot side" of an outl et.A small d a b of pa int or oth er marking will then fo rev er r em ove an ydoubt a bou t which is the hot side.T his che ck is shown in F igur e 14.

Photog r aph J shows the end viewof t he ped estal type mixe r m otorcase. Wh en the hand le is r em oved ,as it is here, a la r ge screw and locknut is exposed . T his sc r ew is ad justable in order to a dj us t the a mountof end play in the armature shaft. Itis not necessary to r em ove th is screwon this m od el to ta ke th e a rmatureout . The commutator end of thearmature shaft co ntains a springloaded steel ball which rests aga ins tthis screw. If the screw is too loosethe armature w ill ha ve too m uchpl a y ; if it is too ti ght the shaft willbind and the moto r will not r un asfas t.

P hotog ra ph I a lso shows a des irable featu r e in pedestal m ixers . Byturning th e bowl control lever th ebowl ta ble (which a lso is fr ee torot ate ) may set off-cen te r from thebeate r s . T hus th e beaters can beposition ed clos er or fa rther awayfrom th e s ides of th e bowl as may berequired. This pedes tal mixer maybe s lipped off it s s tand and moveda bout g iv ing it a certain amount ofportable use. The chief detriment tothis is its cons idera ble weight if itis to be held long.

BEATERS~

ONE VERY important point that is ea sily ov erlooked is that of realigningthe spindles so that the beaters meshcorrectly (Figure 16) . It is possible,a nd more than likely. th at if yo u install the gear case without checkingthe beaters will clang and bang orev en bend out of shape wh en your

FIG URE 16-Bollom view of th e beate rs showinqwhat is mea nt by " me . hing th e m p ro pe rly." Ape rfe ct me sh ma y be impossib le a nd yo u willha ve so me to le ra nce .

It would be very nearly impossibleto put the mixers shown back together incorrectly or out of alignm ent because the gear cas e of eachfits perfectly on the motor case ofeach on ly one way. Use proper sizescr ewdriver s so that you don't chewup the screwheads. If a Phillipshead screw is used don 't su bsti tuteyour own invention . Often t imes aworkman will put something togetherin great haste and with little care onthe theory that he will never have totake it apart again . Unfortunately hemay find that he has made a mistakeand must immediately take it apartand therefore is a victim of his ownmethods .

Check for oil holes and keep themclear. A few d r ops of oil occasionallywill help prevent be aring trouble .Too much oil may lea k to the outsideagain or inside of the motor andcause smoking as well as a burnedand pitted co mmutator or collectorrings . T he ven tilation holes, you willnotice , are on t he bottom of themixers or at the back. F ood pa r t icl esdo sometimes ge t in to the motor andthe heat may cause them to burnand smoke or smell. This difficultyis sometimes wrongly assumed to bea burning motor .

In both of the mixers shown thebrushes a re e asily removed withoutdisassembli ng th e motor as the brushcaps are located on the outside of themotor case. In reinstalling br us hesfit the contour of t he brus h to thecommutator or collector r ing asnearly as possible . This is m ore difficult to be s ure of on round brushesthan on square ones. Do not get oilor grease on the brushes as it isdetrimen tal to them and to the comm utation process.

wife us es the mixer for the firsttime. Unless it is a new mixer thisis probably just what she is ho p in gfor, especially if she is looking fornew a rgumen t mate r ia l. The bestprocedure is to install the beatersa nd th en fit the gea r c ase onto them otor ca se. Try to hold the beatersthe w a y they shou ld be as you po siti on the gear case . Wh en the wormgear m eshes w ith th e sp indle gearsit m a y m ove the beaters r el ative toeach other so th at yo u will have totry aga in , If yo u are not su r e , fast enthe ge a r case on lightly wi th onescrew and turn the switch on, thenoff quickl y . If t he beate rs s t ill donot m esh correctly because the sp indl es a r e not lined up you will so onkn ow it! Op erate only for a fr actionof a turn until yo u a re su r e thatyou have lined them up correctly.

Good mixers cos t m on ey and arewell engineer ed . If yo u have anyparts left ov er - well shame on you!You may r est assured that the manufacturer did not include in his appliance a ny th ing that he thought wasnot ess en tial. Careful observation indisassembly and equal care in s tor ing parts and in reassembly shouldnet only the be st of results .

If oil has been a dded to the properplaces and the ge ar cas e packed withgrease you should never have thecomplaints a ssocia ted with 'frozen"parts. Due to la ck of lubrication partsoften run dry, . bind , ov erheat andeventually seize . This can cause anything from sl ow oper a t ion to nooperation.

If the mixer does not operate oreven hum or buzz a nd yo u havechecked the ou tlet a nd found thatthe prop er vo ltage w as present, youshould sys tem a t ically check the el ectrical circuit of the mixer until thedifficulty is fou nd . Do not overlookthe pos s ibility that the plug is notmaking good co n tact in the outlet.Chances are that a n open ex is t s inthe cir cui t. A short would cause afuse to bl ow and a gr ound might giveyou a shock, blow a fus e , or a llowthe mixe r to ope rate normally depending upon cond it ions .

In checking for a n open you wouldprobably want to use the leakage indicator or possi bl y th e ohmmeter,Some prefer to fasten one lead to apoint on the c ircuit under check a ndm ove the test prod until a point islocated where th ere is no co n tinu ity .Others prefer to pl a ce a different section of the circu it each time betweenthe leads seeking a sect ion wi th nocontinuity. There a r e a few fund am entals th at must be remembered ifyou a r e to be successfu l in troubleshooting. P arallel units must be isolated from one another. If, for example , a set of gover nor points has aresistor in parallel wit h them continuity w ill be indicated e ven if thepoints are h eld open. Since a c apac- .it or will pass th e AC , if the leakageindicator is being used fo r the check ,the capa citor co nnected in parallelwith the points w ill a lso cau se con-

is d is a ssembled, which is a g oodpractice . If parts are too hard to get,careful handling may allow them tobe used more than once. T he biggestmechanical enemy of por ta b le appliances is dropping. B r oken handles,cracked frames and cases usuallycannot be repaired satisfactorily andmust be r epl a c ed . Beaters usuallycan be straightened . T he close tolerance be tween the armature andthe fi eld poles places the odds ofproperly straightening a bent a r m a ture shaft against yo u. If the arm a ture is dropped a nd the coo li ng fanbent this can be stra ig h tened.

Switches become defective and willeither no t close the circuit or no topen it-an d they m ust be replaced .Open or shorted capacitors m ust bereplaced. Som e ti m es performance isimproved by cleaning con tr ol surfaces with a ver y fine a b r a s ive cloth-for example tapped fi eld con ta cts .If governor points are m ore thanslig h tly burned or pitted they shouldbe r eplaced to prevent upsetting thespeed settings as might occu r ifm uc h work had to be done on them .Normally they should r emain in goodcondition for a cons ide ra ble periodof us e unle ss the capacitor that protects them becomes open a nd therefore in effective. For purposes ofcomparison con sider the breakerpo ints in the distributor of your automobile . If their protective capaci to r(condenser ) becomes ope n , thingswill get worse in a big hurry!

Although it can be repaired , replacement of the line cord of theappliance is recommended if an openor short is found or even if it becomes wo rn or frayed . Int e r na l connections sometimes work loose; theys ho uld be goo d both phys ica lly a ndelectrically. Opens in a mixer's insi de co nnecting wires (field leads ,e tc .) can sometimes be repaired bytwisting the wires together, so ldering and then taping. Plastic electrical tape is very good for thi s . Insoldering use ro sin core solder only-acid flux sold er s will later destroythe connection. If the broken le a d isnot lon g enough to be repaired asd es cr ibed above, a new piece mayha ve to be splice d in .

Usually storm doors are heavy andhard to handle but there are manytimes during the win t e r monthswhen it is desirable to keep one ormore partly open . To permit this,make a wooden latch-bar to hold thedoor f ast. It is n o more than a stouthardwo od piece % " x %" with ascrew eye or hook firmly fixe d ineach end; one en ga ges a hook inthe door, the other a hook in theframe, or vice versa. The lengthmust be determined carefully in advance so a s to get the most usefulsize of door opening. If the first oneproves too long, providing too wi dean opening, it c a n be shortened readily . But it can not be lengthenedif the first on e proves too short yo umust make a second, longer one.H a r dwood is necessary to hold thescrew in the end grain.

Tape Aids Plastic Marking

Working with a piece of scrappla s t ic that has no paper backing,m a kes it difficult to see pencil markson plastic where you want to cut ordr ill. Try covering the surface withadhesive tape and make yo ur markings on th e tape . This will enableyou to see your pencil lines clearlymaking it easier to cut or drill thepiece of plastic. When finishedcutting or drilling the pi ec e , simplypeel off the tape .

Incidentally, when using adhesivetape on many surfaces adhesivemarkings will often remain on surface when tape is removed. To cleansurface of adhesive quickly, simplyr ub pet r oleum jelly over the a dhesive and allow jelly to remain onsurface a few minutes . Then us inga cloth saturated with rubbinga lcohol, wipe the surface clean .

while I am still able to helpl

I'd like to give this tomy fellow men ...

summer home, my Cadillacs, my Winterlong vacations and my sense of independence-behind all the wealth of cash anddeep inner satisfaction that I enjoy-thereis one simple secret. It is this secret thatI would like to impart to you. If you aresatisfied with a humdrum life of serviceto another master, turn this page nowread no more . If you are interested in afuller life, free from bosses, free fromworries, free from fears, read further,This message may be meant for you.

I was young once, as you may be-todayI am older. Not too old to enjoy the fruitsof my work, but older in the sense of beingwiser. And once I was poor, desperatelypoor. Today almost any man can stretchhis income to make ends meet. Today,there arc few who hunger for bread andshelter. But in my youth I knew the pinchof poverty; the emptiness of hunger; thecold stare of the creditor who would nottake excuses for money. Today, all thatis past . And behind my city house, my

I am printing my m essage in a m agazine. It may come to the a t t ent ion ofthou sands of eyes . But of all thosethou sands, only a few will have thevis ion to understand . Many m ay read;bu t of a t ho usand only you m ay ha vethe in tuit ion, the sensitivity, to understand that wh at I am writing may beinte nde d for you-may be the tide thatsha pes your destiny, which, taken a tthe crest, ca rries you to lev els of independen ce beyond t he dreams ofavarice.

D on 't mi sunderstand me. There isno mysticism in this. I am not speaking of occ ult things ; of innumerablela ws of nature that will sweep you tosu ccess without effor t on your part.That sort of talk is rubbish ! And anyone who tri es to tell you that you canth ink your way to riches without effor tis a fal se friend . I am too much of areal ist for tha t . And I hope you are.

I hop e you a re the kind of man-ifyou have read this far-who knowstha t a ny t hing worthwhile has to beearn ed! I hop e you have learned thatthere is no reward without effort. Ifyou ha ve learned this, then you may beread y to take the next step in thedevelopment of your karma-you m aybe ready to learn a nd use the secret Ihave to im par t.

I Have All The Money I NeedIn m y own life I have gone beyond the needof mo ney . I have it . I have gone beyondthe need of ga in. I have t wo businesses thatpay me a n incom e well a bove any amountI ha ve need for. And, in addition, I ha vethe sa t is fact ion-t he deep sat.iafa ct.ion-s-ofknowing that 1 have put more than threehundred other men in businesses of theirown. Since I have no need for money, thegreates t sat isfact ion I get from life , is sharing m y se cret of per sonal indep endence withother s-seeing them achiev e the sameheig hts of happiness that have come intomy own life.

Pl ea se don't mi sunderstand this statement. I a m not a philanthropist. I believ et hat cha rity is somet hing that no proudman will acce p t . I have never seen a manwho wa s worth his salt who would accept

something for nothing. I have nev er met ahighly successful man whom the world respected who did not sacrifice something togain his po sition. And , unless you are willing to make a t least half the effort, I'm notinter ested in giving you a " leg up" to theachievement of your goal. Frankly , I'mgoing to ch arge you some t hing for thesecr et I giv e you. Not a lot-but enoug h tomake me beli eve that you are a little abovethe fellows who mer ely " wish" for successand are not willing to sacrifice somethingto get it.

A Fascinating and PeculiarBusiness

I have a business that is peculiar-one ofmy businesses. The unusual thing about itis that it is need ed in eve ry little co mm un it ythroughout this count ry. But it is a business that will nev er be invaded by the "bigfellows". It has to be handled on a loc albasis. No giant oc topus can ever gobble upthe whole thing. No big combine is evergoing to destroy it. It is esse n t ia lly a " oneman" business that ca n be op er ated without outside help. It is a business that isgood summer a nd winter. It is a businessthat is growing each year. And, it is a business that can be started on an inves t me ntso small that it is within the rea ch of a nyonewho has a t elevision set. But it has nothingto do with television.

This business has another peculiarity. Itcan be started at home in spare time. N ori sk to present job. No risk to present income . And no need to let anyone else knowyou are " on your own". It can be run as aspare time business for ext ra money. Or ,a s it grows to the point wh er e it is payingmore than your pr esent sal ary, it can beexpa nded into a full time busines s-overnight. It can give you a sense of per son alindependence that will fr ee yo u for ev erfrom the fear of la y- off , loss of job, depress ions , or economic rev ers es .

Are You Mechanically Inclined?While the op eration of this business ispartly automati c , it wo n' t run it self. If yo uare to use it as a stepp ing s t one to independence, you must be able to work withyour hands , use such tools a s hammer a ndscr ew driver, a nd enjoy getting into a pairof blue jeans and rolling up your s lee ves.But two hours a day of manual work willke ep your " factory" running 24 hours turn-

ing out a product that has a s tea dy andready sale in every community. A halfdollar spent for raw materi al s can bringyou s ix dollars in cash- six ti mes a day.

In t h is message I'm not going to try totell yo u the en t ire s tory. There is notenoug h space on this pag e. And, I am notgoing t o ask you t o spend a penny now tolearn the secre t . I'll send you all the informat ion, fr ee. If yo u are in te res te d inbecoming independent, in becoming yo urown boss, in k no wing the sweet fruits ofsucces s a s I know them, se nd me yo urname. That's a ll. Just your name. I won' ta sk you for a penny . I'll se nd you all theinformation about one of the mo st fa sci nating businesses you ca n im a gin e. With thesefacts , you will make your own in ves t iga t ion.You will check up on conditions in yourneighborhood. You will weigh a nd a na lyzet he whole proposition. Then, a nd th en only,if yo u decide t o t ake the next s te p, I'lla llo w you to in vest $15.00. And eve n t hen ,if yo u decide tha t your fiftee n dollars hasbeen badly in ves t ed I 'll return it to you.D on 't hesitate to send yo ur name. I ha ve nosales me n. I will merely write yo u a lon g letter a nd send you com plete facts a bout thebu siness I have found to be so succes sful .After that, you m ake the decis ions.

Does Happiness Hang on YourDecision?

D on't put this off. It may be a coincidencethat you are reading these words right now .Or , it may be a matter that is more deeplyco nnected with your destiny than eit her ofus ca n say . Ther e is only on e thin g certain:If yo u have read this far you are interestedin the kind of independen ce I enjoy. And iftha t is true, then you must take t he nexts te p. N o co upon on this adver tisement. Ifyo u don't t h ink eno ug h of yo ur fu ture happiness a nd prosperity t o write yo ur nameon a postcard a nd mail it to me, forget thewho le thing. But if you think ther e is ades tiny t ha t s ha pe s men 's liv es , se nd yourname now. What I se nd you may co nvinceyou of the truth of this prov erb. And whatI se nd yo u will not cost a penny, now or atany other time.
