The Difficult Game of 
DECORATING 
The fun of decorating is that it's never 
over. The difficulty is that it needs so 
much experience and so much knowledge 
of the shops. 
Why not have House & Garden on your 
side when you’re playing this game? Is 
there something you want to buy—but you 
haven’t been able to find it in the stores 
you know? Probably the Shopping Ser¬ 
vice can get it. Is there something you 
need for a certain purpose—but you can't 
visualize what would be most effective? 
Perhaps the Information Service can sug¬ 
gest exactly the right article. 
House & Garden has the technical knowledge and 
down-to-the-minute information of experts at your 
command. It makes no charge. Just ask us about

|T^\NLY frequent cutting and heavy 
'^'rolling will produce that smooth, 
carpet-like effect seen in well-kept 
lawns. Ideal Power Lawn Mowers 
do both in one operation at less than 
one-third the cost when done by hand. 
An unskilled man at laborer’s wages may 
be safely trusted to operate the simple, fool¬ 
proof mechanism. He will cut from a half 
to a full acre an hour, trimming the borders 
closely and rolling the open spaces to vel¬ 
vety smoothness. The moderate cost of 
maintaining a park-like lawn is obvious. 
Illustrated descriptive literature, prices 
and valuable information on the care of 
lawns will be mailed upon request.
