Woinscots Reoppeqr In Home Construction

Like vests, wainscots are making a comeback, particularly in homes r.r'ith children.

The lower walls in a recreation room, child's bedroom and hallways need frequent decorating or repair because of bumps, abrasions and general hard usage where children are present. A wainscot solves the problem.

For this purpose, many families have found an embossed hardboard, Masonite Seadrift, ideal because of its durability, good appearance and easy upkeep. This hardboard, which has the rich appearance of well-weathered wood, may be nailed to wall studs or fastened to an existing surface with wallboard adhesive.

Available at lumber yards with a pearl grey paint primer, the panels may be painted one color or two-toned. The primecoat may be used as the predominant over-all color. To get the second tone, simply apply a coat of a water emulsion synthetic paint over a small area and immediately wipe the surface, in the direction of the grain, with a damp sponge. Periodically rinse the sponge clean.

If a two-tone finish with a predominant color other than tl.re pearl grey of the primer is wanted, here's what to do: Apply a coat of interior paint, enamel or lacquer of the desired predominant color. As a wiping coat, select a cor-rtrasting or harmonizing color that is darker than the first coat.

Rolondo Lumber Compony Under New Ownership

Rolando Lumber Company, one of San Francisco's leading retail yard operations, lvas purchased by Stewart Lyons last month. In recent years, Rolando had been operating under the ownership of the Irwin and Lyons estates, both Mr. Irwin and 1\{r. Lvons having met witl.r fatal acciclents <luring the mid-fifties.

Rolando Lumber rvas established during the mid-thirties by Joe Rolando, former manag'er of Christenson Lumber Company. Rolando operated the yard on his own until early during WWII when the Irwin & Lyons Lumber Company, of North Bend, Oregon, became interested in the operation. Mr. Rolando retired from the lumber business shortly after the conclusion of the war.

Lyons, a graduate of the University of Portland, grew up in the lumber business and worked in both the woods and at Irwin & Lyons' North Bend sawmill. Assisting him in the operation of Rolando will be Wilbur Craig, former salesmanager of Irwin & Lyons, who will be moving to the Bay Area after September l.
