Vood Conversion Cornpany entered the insulation field with Balsarn-Wool-a rnoieture- protected insulation giving lasting satisfaction. Balsarn-Vool was right from the start.

Right to begin with, BalsamVool was rteadily irnproved to give the owner even greater satisfaction and greater value for his rnoney. Soon, the moisture protection was extended to all sides of BalsarnWool, as shown in the accornpanying photograph.

NOV, Balsarn-'Wool is DOUBLE SEALED against rnoisture and wind. heavier liners . . . double asphalt coated improved reinforced nailing flange for easier, faster, permanent application.

Today, the modern way of heating, cooling, humidifying and ventilating requires Balsarn-Wool-an insulation which is rnoisture protected.

The Genuine Craftsman

You don't have to preach honesty to men with a creative purpcse. Let a human being throw the energies of his soul into the making of something, and the instinct of workmanship will take care of his ho,nesty. The writers who have nothing to say are the ones you can buy; the others have too high a price. A genuine craftsman will not adulerate his product; the reason isn't because duty says he shouldn't, but because passion says he couldn't.-Walter Lippmann. ***

Reflection

By Reta M. White

Upon my face is strongly etched

The tracery of years; f see each petty jealousy, And all my selfish fears.

I wonder if my mirror

Would a little kinder be, IfI had thought more of my friends, And a little less of me.

An old Scotchman had a peculiar habit of holding his nose whenever he took a glass of whiskey. When asked why he did it, he replied:

"Mon, if I smell it,it makes ma' mouth water, and I dinna want to dilute my drinks wi' anything."

Cato said: "r had rathel ,"ln lnt"ru ask why my statue is not set up, than why it is."

A Half Hour

A half hour a day put intelligently into music will make you a musician.

A half hour a day put into public speaking will make you an orator.

A half hour a day put into hard work w:ll make your fingers creative.

A half hour a day put into purposeful reading will give you a liberal education.

A half hotrr a day put into study of any subject will, in a few years, make you master of it. It is being done every day.

A half hour a day put into vigorous outdoor exercise will keep you healthy and hard, and able to keep the pace.

A half hour a day on your knees will make you a saint.
