zA PRACTICAL HANDBOOK 



For Decorators, Paperhangers, Architects, Build- 

 ers and House Owners, with many half-tone and 

 other illustrations showing the latest designs. 



By ARTHUR SEYMOUR JENNINGS 



Extract from Preface 

 The author lias endeavored to include char- 

 acteristic designs in vogue to-day, and to give 

 reliable information as to the choice of wall 

 papers as well as to describe the practical 

 methods of applying them. In dealing with 

 matters concerning decoration there is always 

 the danger of leaning too much toward an ideal 

 and of overlooking the practical requirements 

 of commercial life. The author hopes that he 

 has been successful in avoiding this fault, and 

 that his book will be regarded as both practical 

 and useful.

TRADE MARK 



Ordinary roasting pans waste one pound in every 

 five, the LISK ROASTER saves that pound, or 

 one-fifth of every roast. That means that the LISK 

 ROASTKR pays for itself over and over again 

 every year. It saves the labor of the Cook as well as the 

 loss of the meat; it is self-basting. The Lisk Roaster is 

 so constructed that the juices of the meat, vaporized by the 

 heat of the oven, are constantly collecting on the inner 

 roof of the roaster and drip back again in a steady shower 

 of gravy on the roast below. That's automatic basting. A 

 child who can tell the time can cook as well as the finest 

 chef with a Lisk Sanitary Self-basting Roaster, for 

 p, there is nothing to watch but the clock. 



Think of it ! A roast that won't shrink or waste, 

 and can't burn or dry up; cooked to a turn and self- 

 basted in its natural juices. 



The Lisk Roaster gives you all the meat, substance and savor, 

 and it makes money while it saves meat. The Lisk Sanitary Self- 

 basting Roaster is made in Lisk's Imperial Gray Enameled Steel 

 Ware, absolutely sanitary because it is seamless. 



Made in four sizes and sold by all leadinghardware dealers and house 

 furnishing stores. Every Lisk Roaster unconditionally guaranteed.
