Dept. of falling in it and coming out smelling like you-know-what: Durable Ply- wood Sales Company sales chief, Rolf Stolesen, was tinkering around the patio at his home and working on a cold six-pack last month when he suddenly found himself on the way to a Smith College auction with his Irish child bride Kay. Well, there was this picture, you see, and nobody seemed to want it*besides the frame was pretty, Stolesen thought. "Might make a nice frame for the hall mirror . . I bid $28.00!" Stolesen heard himself say.

"You're not going to hang that thing in MY house" was the first reaction to Rolf's new purchase. A similar statement, but sprinkled with a few more adjectives, squelched an effort to hang the thing in the Durable Sales office.

So Rolf hustled his purchase ofi to an art dealer friend in Menlo Park to either store it or have the painting removed from the frame. Bingo! Turns out that the painting -a landscape done around the turn of the Century-is worth $1,200, maybe more! Three guesses who's the brightest new art authority around Menlo Park these days!
