Aluminium

Invades The

Modern Home

HOU

By ELEANOR ROSS

[OUSEHOLD equipment is getting lighter all the thne. Recently was seen a group of household products nil made of aluminium, which started us thinking how much light metal has entered into the home, dispincing wood, enamel, iron and steel. Easy to care for, nice to look at, light as a feather to tote around, we are in favour of aluminum in the home, for everything from clothespins to furniture; the latter is news to the modern housewife.

We sen a new type of over- stuffed furniture, very cleverly con- structed of aluminium with per- Imanent tailored-to-fit slipcovers that zip on and off. The covers аге available in a wiele range of colours and designs, so it is easy to make a complele “change of upholstery In o hurry, Arms, back and base come apart for complete cleaning.

Venetian Blinds

Venetian blnds made of aluminium have many virtues, but we don't like them at a very sunny window. For a room with a cool exposure, how- ver, these shades are beautiful. They never need a paint job and it is a cinch to clean them since dirt, gring and soof just roll right off,

Window frames of aluminium are specified in many a building; job, na la ton aluuminium roof and aluminium Ratage doers. We can see why, too, for it does away with upkeep.

This light metal is busy an wash days, for there are aluminium elatheslines, clothespina baskets and even aluminium trong boards. The clothespins are especially nice for they are sung-proof, and have two hoteles, one for hanging heavy pieces, the other for more delicate faberes. A good bet for nylon hose"
