such a campaign paying
dividends, the Chamber of
Commerce emphasizes. •

HOW to choose the right' land-

The homeowner's creativItY
can be brought into play here, and
a lobk at neighboring properties
may suggest ideas, too. However,,
professional advice is usually
called for'.
Local nurserymen can
provide helpful information . on
choosing trees and plants , best
for the area, landscaping for
year-round beauty .and low main-
tenince, providing proper
drainage and . many other
pointers to help homeowner and
family get maximum value and
enjoyment from landscaping.

showers with built-in seats,band
sprays, recessed shelves and
overhead lighting are some of the
innovations recommended.
,There are custom cabinets to
provide space for the growing
number pf items now used in
the bathroom -- cosmetics and
medicines, electrical equipment
such as shavers, tooth brushes,
hair dryeri, massage machines.
Better lighting and lavish use
of mirrors can make shaving and
make-up a joy instead of atchore.
Walls, floors, counters and
accessories are made in
materials easy to maintain,.and
for those who cannot afford such,
luxuries as marble or onyx, there
are many sensible and attractive
substitutes.
