1 Have you a puzzling I 
house problem? 
“I’ve just stood my hallway for years! 
It’s dark, and cold, and there’s a walnut 
hatrack that would depress a blind man. 
. ... I have a lovely old black lacquer 
table that I feel just belongs there, but 
unless you can give me wall-paper, 
rug, lamp suggestions to bring in color and 
light, I can’t use it. You always sound 
so cordial, that I’ve worked up my cour¬ 
age to present my problem to you. Am 
I a bother?’’ 
W ELL, was she? Certainly not. That’s our 
mission in life — to reform hallways, com¬ 
fort distressed ladies, and find the right 
vocation for miscast furniture. Everyday we get 
dozens of such inquiries. We answer them all. 
You see, we aim to cover in House & Garden 
from month to month the greatest possible 
number of these problems of building, interior 
decorating and gardening that have been worry¬ 
ing you. But every such problem can’t be solved 
through the pages of the magazine, because 
many of them call for individual advice. 
The Information Service fills this gap. It is the 
answer to the personal question, the particular 
difficulty that isyours, and yours alone. We have, 
right at our New Y ork doors, the best architects, 
decorators, shops and shoppers, gardeners and 
landscape architects. Their advice is at your 
disposal; your questions addressed to the Infor¬ 
mation Service will receive their personal atten¬ 
tion and reply. Next time you don’t know what 
to huv—or where to put it when you have it, ask:

Bishopric Plaster Board 
Stucco finish can now be made lasting 
and economical. How? 
Apply it properly on a background of Bishopric 
Board. Those dovetailed joints between the 
lath clinch the stucco—it can't let go! And 
nails through every lath hold the Stucco Board 
securely to the building. There is no breaking 
away and sagging, causing the stucco to cracK 
and chip off. 
The lath in Bishopric Board arc crcosoted and 
imbedded in Asphalt Mastic on a background 
of heavy fibre board, making a fire-resisting 
combination that is proof against vermin, 
changes in temperature and moisture. 
Bishopric Board, un¬ 
der the severest scien¬ 
tific tests and in 
actual use. lias proved 
its superiority.
