Many women have the idea that it is a rather risky thing to attempt refinishing a table, chair, desk, cupboard or any similar article of furniture. Each home probably has at least a number of shabby articles of furniture up in the attic “out of commission.” Realizing the need for letting these women know just how easy 1t really is to refinish worn furniture, woodwork and floors, these stores are now giving individual advice and distributing “step-by-step” pamphlets that specialize on the use of So-g-zy Finishes in the home. This service is free and can be obtained, without obligation to buy, at any store where “So-E-zv"” Finishes are displayed. Watch the windows. Ask for “How to Do It” Pamphlets.
