. . . And Many Other Worthwhile Books and Booklets available from manufacturers or on sale in hardware and hobby shops everywhere.

We also urge that all tool manuals which come with power and hand tools be preserved. Probably the best way to keep them where they will be available for use is to buy a school notebook of the loose-leaf type, punching holes in the manuals and other material and filing them in the notebook where they can be kept in easy reach of the workbench. Manuals may be removed for use, if desired; replaced when you have finished with them. These manuals should be carefully studied to learn what the manufacturer of your tools suggests for their care and maintenance. In addition, we suggest that the amateur will find in the advertising pages of home magazines many offers of booklets which can be obtained free or for moderate sums from manufacturers of building materials, paints, and so on. These will be valuable as reference material, too, if they are kept on the bookshelf above your workbench and are easily available. They can also be punched and filed in a loose-leaf notebook.

Perhaps the most valuable reference books of all to the amateur will be the mail order catalogs of Montgomery Ward & Co. or Sears Roebuck. They have quite a fine showing of building materials, tools of all kinds, and many other helpful bits of information for the amateur. For those who live in the country, it will be possible to have all the stock of a large hardware and building materials shop available from which to buy merely by writing an order and mailing it. For you who live closer to shops, it will be possible to choose your tools and materials and save yourself many hours of looking, for you will have a ready reference book to study at night at home. You will be fascinated to find large selections of every kind of building material, nearly every tool anyone could want; and with this help you will be able to do a better job of whatever building project you may choose to do.
