The accompanying pictures of a clothes closet-before and after it was remodeledillustrate the point.

The same closet, with the addition of shelving, dividers, extra hanger bars and lined with aromatic red cedar, becomes an attractive, efficient and desirable moth-rrpellent storage facility.

Application of red cedar not only serves to make the closet moth repellent but it also eliminates painting and dlcorating for all time. The cedar was nailed directlv to the existing wall.
