One of the simplest ways in which interior walls of a home can be modernized is to cover them with hardwood plywood paneling. The panels are easy to apply and the cost is moderate. The homemaker who wants to give a "new look" to his living room or den can obtain appealing warmth and beauty by using durable dur-able hardwood plywood panels, faced with rich veneer.

The manufacturers of high quality qual-ity furniture, television and radio cabinets use many varieties of hardwood veneers, all of which fit in harmoniously with suitably selected se-lected wall panels. The proper paneling is available regardless of whether your furniture is of walnut, wal-nut, oak, cherry, birch, mahogany or some other hardwood veneer. Hardwood plywood possesses other properties which make it a desirable product for this purpose.

Other surfaces need little more than a light waxing to restore their original brilliancy and beauty. beau-ty. The abrasion resistance of many hardwoods is in itself a guaranty against most of the marring mar-ring to which walls are prey. The construction of the hardwood panels protects them against cracking and splitting." |
