Culligan people, R.O.units employ a filmlike mem brane that rejects dissolved salts and minerals, organic contaminants, and also removes even the smallest particles by ultra-filtration.Culligan has teamed R.O.with protective cellulose pre-filtration and activated carbon adsorption, to control tastes and odors, as well as residual organic impurities.No treatment method, using one or even two ordinary filters, can be as effective as this new three-way system.Latest in the Culligan family of drinking w’ater systems are the Aqua-Cleer Consoles.These new appliances are housed in an attractively-designed compact cabinet, 43” high, occupying only a square foot of floor space.Designed to help solve the problem of undesirable or potentially dangerous impurities found in some NEW

discontent with the way water tastes and with its appearance.In addition, scientific evidence is mounting that water from both public and private sources may sometimes be hazardous to health.What is the consumer to do?One of the best answers appears to be a new’ three wTay drinking water system that substantially removes most of water’s worrisome substances.Developed by Culligan.it produces water

H.1976 Homeowners urged to select only energy-saving devices The homeowner in the market for a new refrigerator will discover some surprising innovations, particularly power-saving features and improved insulation, according to the National Home Improvement Council.One energy-saving model uses about a third less electricity than other models not equipped with its special thermostatically controlled motor.% While it is true that the amount of electricity consumed by a refrigerator each operating hour is a modest amount, it’s also true that it is operated 24 hours around the clock for 365 days a year.Even though frost-free refrigerators do use more kilowatts of energy annually than non frost-free models, they avoid the extra energy drain resulting from frost accumulation.Today’s power-saving refrigerators also preserve food longer during power failures, which become alarmingly more common each year.As is to be expected, there’s a higher price tag on these models, but operating savings in the long run more than repay the initial purchase price.The self-cleaning oven, certainly a time and labor Let cool air come right in through walls Why swelter through another summer?If you’ve been putting off whole house air conditioning for financial reasons, why not consider air conditioning only the parts of the house where you spend most of your time?With built-in room air conditioning, you can have cooling comfort in your living room, family room, bedroom or kitchen — wherever you want it — without losing the benefit of a window you can open on those mild days when you need neither heating nor air conditioning.You can get through-the-wall room air conditioners in a wide variety of capacities.For instance, the General Electric Company of fers 13 models which can be mounted through the wall, ranging from a 6,000 BTUH Thinline1M model for a small bedroom or den to a 24,000 BTUH Su perthrust1* unit, capable of cooling several large, adjoining rooms.Eight of these air con ditioners are high-efficiency models.And between air condi tioning seasons is a good time to shop for an air conditioning bargain.SHORT SI HJECT When you disconnect a cord from a w'all outlet, don’t pull the cord — pull the nlue.saver, uses minimal energy for a year’s normal use.Presuming monthly cleaning, only 20 to 30 kilowatt hours of electricity are consumed yearly.Some gas ranges even clean while the oven is cooking.With thermostats on cooking tops as well as in the ovens, total automatic cooking is possible today.A “keep warm” setting permits preparation of meals hours in advance, freeing host and hostess to entertain guests.The lower temperature settings on the keep-warm oven are safe even for the finest china.Manufacturers of building materials and decorative accessories have responded beautifully to the imagination and needs of the remodeling homeowner, according to the National Home Improvement Council.From self-adhesive vinyl instant door and wall covering to carpeting for every room in the home, the list of attractive and reasonably priced prod- ucts for the home grows day by day.A number of these products are designed for do-it-yourself installation.For example, the colorful new lightweight plywood panels that will bring a livingroom to life.They’re extremly easy to install and come in solid colors, patterns and textures.What’s more, one can paint, paste, pin or nail on them.And they are washable, scuff-proof and fade-proof.On the exterior of the house the homeowner remodeler might consider using a new self-adhesive vinyl siding which goes on right over wood siding, eliminating the need for painting.A powerful adhesive assures permanent bonding and the vinyl resists staining and peeling.Acoustical tile provides an attractive ceiling at the same time that it helps to trap sound.Keep in mind that it will only absorb sounds from inside the house.NEW DOWNTOWN SHERBROOKE — RUGS — Harding, Burlington, — Crossley, Bigelow —
