In kitchens or baths, work wonders with wallcoverings « PAGK 7» PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 25,1M1 hath patterns: butterflies, fish, shells and other undersea flora and fauna. ' Today people tend to select floral or geometric patterns that are more Aophisticated--bolder in scale, stronger in color-- than in the days when cabinets and appliances were simply lined up around the room called the kitchen. With the built-in kitchen has come, of necessity, more pre­ planning; more professionalism in layout and installation; more attention to the over-all design, including the decorative as well as the functional elements. This includes the kitchen (or bath) wallcovering: it's part of the plan--and very often it's selected to coordinate kitchen with pantry or dining area, bath with bedroom or dressing room. Wallcovering normally is one of the last elements you choose--unless, of course, your entire decorating scheme is centered in a fabulous pattern you've found and simply can­ not live without! The variety of color, pattern and texture available give you a luxury of choice to find one to match perfectly, or to comple­ ment, the "givens" of a remodeling--the cabinets and appliances or fixtures Your own,sound and more are being designed for the amateur installer, what with a shortage of professional paperhangers, the cost factor and increasing interest on the part of homeowners every­ where in "doing their thing." These wallcoverings are stain-resistant, moisture-resis­ tant, durable, colorfast and they wipe clean. Pre-trimmed, they're easy to install; strippa- ble, they're easy to remove without damage to the wall sur­ face. What are the pattern trends? They're as diverse as the wallcovering books on the market. There are hundreds of books from which to choose, some styled specifically for kitchens and bathrooms, others offering papers or vinyls for these as well as other interiors: Spanish tiles, antique post­ cards, sporting scenes, bar labels, newspaper pages-- along with, of course, a mul­ titude of stripes and plaids, ferns and flowers. There are kitchen patterns:' pots and pans, herbs and birds, vegetables and fruits There are To fully enjoy the sun and sand this year, shouldn't the musical selections be your own choice? Take along Zenith's new FM/AM portable cassette radio. It lets you listen to your favorite FM or AM programming or play your own pre-recorded musical selections on cassette tapes-- whatever songs you w'ant to hear, when you want to hear them. In addition, you can record cassette tapes directly off FM or AM and record tapes using the built-in condenser microphone, or a remote microphone. Six push buttons on top of tbe set control the play, record, fast forward, rewind, stop/eject and pause functions of the cassette There is also a 2-position on/off radio toggle switch. Other cassette section fea­ tures are tape counter and-reset button, built-in microphone; remote mike jacks; auxiliary input jack; automatic shutoff on play and record; and automatic record level control The radio also includes switchable automatic frequency control on FM; variable tone control; precision vernier tun­ ing; and quality 4-inch speaker. Zenith's new portable cas­ sette radio operates on regular home electrical current or four "D" cell batteries. Today's wallcoverings are not only handsome and colorful, they're practical, too. Best for kitchens and baths are stain- resistant, moisture-resistant, durable vinyls, easy to install and easy to clean. Wallcoverings can make a room appear larger, smaller, lighter, darker, warmer, cooler, cozy, clinical, informal .or tor mal The\ can lengthen or shor ten a room, raise or lower its ceiling. All this they can do for the kitchen or bathroom as readily as any other room of the home. It's a matter of choice: a com binalion of color, pattern and texture The trend in wallcoverings today, as in kitchens, is to do- it-yourself installation More THE SIGNMAKER 6012 E.

CELEBRATING OUR 20th YEAR Of SERVICE lUIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMr, Ground ^Vater Heat Pumps ... an economical alternative to traditional heating methods SEE US AT THE FAIR. . .OUR GROUND WATER HEAT PUMP WILL BE ON DISPLAY I | The National Water Well Association has discovered that the ground water source heat pump can be used for residential spoce heating and cooling - and we re excited about it We hope that many homeowners will soon begin to take advantage ot the lower costs offered by our .most plentiful (and often overlooked) source of energy ground water. The solar energy stored by ground water can be tapped by a ground water source heat pump to heat and cool your home, and supply hot water for domestic needs. The ground water source heat pump system. Ground water has been colled nature s most efficient solar collector In addition to the advantage of high specific heat, ground water s temperoture doesn t vary with the seasons: it is warmer than air in the winter and cooler than air in the summer. Ground water s heat output is also constant year-round It occurs ot temperotures from 40 degrees to 75 degrees F throughout "OSt of the continental U S , making it ideally suited iperate a heat pump system. This means it is f bable you con utilize this new form of heating in your own home. Traditional heat pump systems. Although they ore now widely used air-to-air heat pumps hove several disadvantages when compared to ground water systems. Limited energy storage capacity is the most obvious drawback of the air-to-air heat pump system. Air's specific heat is only 0.018, so it can absorb and release only 1 50 of the energy that water can. Fifty times more air by weight must pass through a heat pump to produce as much heat as the same amount of woter. Furthermore, winter air is coldast when we need heat; and summer air is tha warmest when we nead cooling. A traditional back-up winter haating system may be required when temperatures drop. Air-to-air heot pump system efficiency is generally reduced during the summer months. A SUPER TO HtAT YOUR HOMt GAhGJ IB Living in a house heated by ground water. Just what would it be like to live in a home heated and cooled by a ground water source heat pump system' First you save money Because its efficiency is so high, the National Water Well Association estimates that a ground water heat pump system can pay for itself in two to four years, if you alreody Have a well Even if you need to have a well drilled your system will pay for itself in four to eight years Since the heat pump system's estimated lifespan is over twenty years it yields real savings. To our knowledge no ground water heat pump system has ever stopped running even after more than 25 years of service. So its lifespan may actually prove to be far greater! Because of the way it delivers heat the ground water heat pump system can also make your house a more pleasant ploce to live, A traditional system delivers hot air in cycles When the furnace kicks on." it blasts hot air until the system reaches the desired temperature and cycles off A furnoce does not reoch maximum efficiency until it has been runnr g for several minutes. So most seldom reoch the* maximum, operating efficiency. A ground water heat pump system alsc operates on cycles but it heats air to only 95 degree1 105 degrees F approximately 40 degreescooier than most conventional systems A ground water heat pump system doesr t produce extreme temperature variations that make o room feel cold and drafty while the furnoce is not producing heot Also air from the heot pump will not seem as dry to you since its capacity to draw moisture is much lower People occustomed to a ground woter source heat pump often feel less comfortable in homes or buildings heated by traditional methods . . .Yet another way you're $ ahead with your own well!
