COLORED LIGHT BULBS
COMPLEMENT HOME
FURNISHINGS
You can create your own
“rosy glow” these days. . .The
colored bulbs recently intro-
duced to the American public
can be used to good advantage
in complementing home fur-
nishings and complexions.
Earlier colored bulbs were
heavily coated and c r e a t-
ed a pronounced color effect in
a room that was not always
pleasing. The amount of color
from the new bulbs is very
slight and simply heightens or
enhances the related colors in
a room. For example, the green-
blue or aqua gives a soft light
which emphasizes furnishings
that are predominately blue or
green; pink bulbs flatter pink
and red hues.
Colored bulbs produce about
one-third less light than white
ones of the same wattage. For
this reason, specialists suggest
that homemakers buy 150-
watt colored bulbs to replace
100-watt bulbs. Fixtures in
which 60-watt white bulbs are
adequate will need 75-watt
colored bulbs.
Specialists recommend using
colored bulbs in ceiling and
wall fixtures and in lamps that
are used for decorative pur-
poses rather for reading, sew-
ing or other demanding visual
tasks. . .Never neglect the prin-
ciples of good lighting simply
to create decorative effects.
In pressing blends of fabrics,
set the iron so that it is suited
to the fiber requiring the lowest
temperature. When in doubt
iron on a sample of the fabric
or on an inconspicuous place
like the edge of a wide seam.
* * *
Stockings which are too short
in the foot may be responsible
for sore, tired feet. . .If they
can’t be pinched up about one-
half inch at the toe, extension
clothing specialists say they are
to short.
* * * *
Waxing wire clotheslines pro-
vides protection against corro-
sion. Waxed clotheslines are
easier to keep clean—j u s t a
quick dusting before hanging
out wet clothes.
* * *
Broken light bulbs remaining
in a socket may be screwed out
by pushing a large cork into the
light base. . . ..The cork re-
moves the danger of cutting the
hands or getting a shock.
* * *
To remove the shine from
gabardine, serge or other hard-
surface woolens try this. . . .Go
over the shiny places with a
damp sponge or cloth, then
stroke the dampened fabric

No wonder the swing is to FORD for ’59!

the 19 new Fords that ride on TYREX cord tires.
“Wow!
Just like a
“That's what

“Clean as a whistle.

Ford beauty pays you
extra dividends in comfort
Plenty of leg room : : : There’s plenty of
stretch-out room, in both front and rear seats—
even for long-legged six-footers.
New head room—even hat'room . . . Ford is
spacious. Unlike the major competitor you can
wear your hat, front seat or back.
6 Passengers, not just 4, ride in comfort . . .
Ford’s seats are softer, thicker. And the man in
the middle doesn’t “bottom out” on bumpy
roads as in many other cars.
Wider doors for easier entry : : : Ford doors
are wider than the top competitive make . . :
and have convenient 2-stage door checks.
Easy to use trunk space . . . Ford’s deep-cut
trunk opening lets you load or unload with far
less “lift” than competition.
A frame that surrounds you with safety . . .
Everyone rides within the protection of Ford’s
solid wide-base frame. You will not get this
protection in any other low-priced car.

ARITHMETIC OF WHEN
TO TRADE TRACTORS
No one can give “pat”
answers to this problem, but
here are some of the things
to consider and a method of
dealing with them. Finding the
time to trade is difficult be-
cause it is hard to forecast what
keeping the old machine will
cost. But let us consider Tom
Smith who has a two-row
tractor 5 years old. He is con-
sidering whether to trade for
a four-row diesel tractor. The
best trade-in allowance he can
find is $500. At five percent
interest this would mean that
the old tractor would cost him
$25 a year interest on his in-
vestment. He figures that the
tractor will be worth $100 less
next year if he waits to trade.
He could put the old tractor in
shape for next year for $300.
Thus, his total cost would be
$425.
The new tractor that he is con-
sidering would cost $3,000. At
five percent, the interest on this
would amount to $150 next
year. He estimates that the first
year depreciation will be $600.
The basic cost so far would be
$425 on the old machine and
$750 on the new, or $325 in
favor of keeping the old ma-
chine.
But the new machine is more
efficient in two ways. It takes
less of Tom’s time to perform
field work and it operates more
cheaply. He estimates that the
value of time saved, savings on
operation costs and increased
timeliness of performing some
jobs are easily worth $200 per
year. The pleasure of owning
and working with a new ma-
chine, together with the increas-
ed dependability is worth $150.
This $350 is plus value or gain.
The new machine also contains
several conveniences, such as
power steering and lights. It is
difficult to evaluate the pleasure
of a new machine or con-
veniences that make work eas-
ier. In this case he would trade.
Tabulated it looks like this:
Old Tractor —
Value $500 @ 5%
interest ..........................$ —25
Reduced trade-in
value next year ............ —100
Repair to put it in
shape .............................. —300
Total cost of old
tractor ............................$--425
New Tractor—
Value $3,000 @ 5% ....$—150
Reduced trade-in
next year ...................... --600
Total cost of new
tractor ............................ —750
Efficiency ......................+$200
Less risk of
breakdown ....................+ 100
Pleasure of ownership
and convenience of
work ..............................+ 50
Total value of associated
factors ................................+ 350
Net cost of trading for
a new tractor ..................$--400
