June 1961

Double-duty garage becomes a screen house in summer

We took a wilderness canoe vacation

WHEN we first spotted the moose, he was standing in the shallows munching some succulent North Woods water plants. The morning breeze was just riffling the lake, and a ruddy sun had barely cleared the pines rimming the shore.

No paddle? No matter--go anyway!

Even if you don't canoe or camp, you can enjoy this wilderness country. For example, there's a memorable one-day, 50-mile excursion by bus and launch that leaves daily from Ely.

Miniature roses are going BIG!

COULD HOUSES COST LESS?

"I'M SURE you'd like our $15,250 model with four bedrooms and two baths, air-conditioned, with all appliances installed," said the Futura Builders, Inc. agent, "and folks, we can have it completed, ready for you to move into three weeks from today."

Made from large parts-not little pieces

IRIS--an adventure in color

It's for now--and for many years from now

Now see how the Duenas kitchen, family room got tomorrow's look today!

JUNE GARDENING WHERE YOU LIVE!

JUNE is the month of clear blue skies, red roses, and green lawns. The whole world seems abloom, and the inroads made by insects and disease have yet to show themselves. Take time to enjoy what you have grown.

How to air-condition a tough old house... by a man who did it, and knew what he was doing

Our house is a classic example of the roomy, old, two-story house that people say cannot be air-conditioned by a central system. Don't you believe it, if your house is similar-- at least until you get the verdict from an expert. You'll spend a good deal of money on such a job, but it could come to far less in the long run than you've been led to believe.

The best garage in town

Scattered throughout the United States are many thousands of automobile service garages--it's an unusual highway town that doesn't have at least one. On a family motor trip you can drive through dozens of towns and past hundreds of garages, but sooner or later you'll have to stop and find help with some mechanical problem.

the man next door

When a Model T or some other vintage car appears on the street, the kids go whooping and hollering after it the way kids of my day did when we saw an airplane overhead.
