Mosonite Plqns for Home-Office

Distinctive appearance, an atmosphere of privacy, and convsnlslss-all can be achieved in an office for the salesman. contractor, or businessman who conducts his business from his home. Although a room with a separate outside entrance is most suitable, almost any room in the home can be transformed easily and economically into such an offrce by decorating it with Masonite hardboard panels. Even a person-unskilled #ith carpentry tools can construct a modern of;fice in a few hours of spare time. The only tools needed are a saw, hammer, and screwGrlver.

installed on the upper sections of the walls.

The plan also suggests installing Masonite "Peg-Board" panels on one wall. From them can be hung book shelves, small cabinets. brochure holders, and other sales aids.

Girculotion

The dollar you paid on your last month's bill Was only a dollar to you.

The day it was paid it was laid in our till, But its work was far from through.

We'paid it out to a truckman stout, Who gave it in trade for meat, And the butcher man then quickly ran And bought him a necktie neat.

The clothier then possessed your yen, But wanted a hair-brush more, And the brush-store spent, yes, every cent, On a sign for the big front door. Tte painter then took your dollar, and lookHe paid it in on his dwelling, And the landlord keen bought gasoline, To keep his motor smelling. The merchant of oil then banked h.is spoil And smiled quite merrily, Then your boss sent across (though he thought it a loss) And drew your salary.

So the little old dollar went its rounds, Without any flurry or fuss, And brought to you your due so you Could bring us what's due to us.

A Speciolry

He was showing a friend around his new and ultra-modern home. Said the friend:

"Why thc round hole in the front door?"

"Glad you asked me," said the proud homeowner. "That is for circular letters."

Unseen Worlds

.It is related by a peasant that he had persuaded himself that beyond his fields there were no others, and when he happened to lose a cow and was compelled to go search for her, he was astonished at the great number of fields beyond his own few acres. This must also be the case of many theorists who have persuaded themselves that beyond this field or little globe of earth there lie no other worldssimply because he has not see them.-Spinoza.

Musicol Soldiers

The top sirgeant sang out just before the company was dismissed:

"A11 those who are fond of music, step tn'o paces forward."

With visions of some soft job or entertainment, half-adozen men stepped forth.

The sergeant growled: "Now then, you six mugs get busy and carry that grand piano up to'the top f,oor of the oFcers' quarters !"

Good Tolk

Good talk has always flourished in taverns, but dies in the hotel de luxe. It springs up naturally around camp fires. It results from conditions which strip ofr social veneer, and bring ileople toget&rer on a plane of elementary humanity.

ForSofefy, Thst's Why

"But, Judge, I was not drunk."

"Then explain why this officer found you climbing a lamp post."

"Because, Judge, a couple of crocodiles were chasing me, and I thought I'd just climb titre post and escape them."

Whor Mokes War?

Whoever examines, with due circumspection, into th€ annual records of time, will find it remarked that war is the child of pride, and pride the daughter of riches-the former of which assertions may be soon granted, but one cannot so easily subsc'ribe to the latter; for pride is nearly related to beggary and want, either by father or mother, and sometimes by both.; and to speak naturally, it very seldom happens among men to fall out when all have enough; invasions usually traveling from North to South, that is to say, from poverty to plenty. The most ancient and natural grounds of quarrels are lust and avarice; which, though we may allow to be brethren, or collaterd branches of pride, are certainly the issues of want-Jonathan Swift.

No Pleqsure

The tiresome young lawyer was wearing out both the judge and the jury with his tedious harangue. Finally he paused and seid to the judge:

"Your Honor, is it your pleasure ttrat I proceed with my arguments?"

Said the judge: "Young man, the pleasure of listening to you ended an hour ago; but you may proceed."
