NEW IDEAS
WALL-MOUNTED HEATERS — Room-by-
room control of temperature is made possible by
a new line of wall-mounted electric home-heating
units. Desired temperature in every room is main
tained automatically by a built-in thermostat.
CLOSET LIGHT — A combination light and
door switch is mounted on the door jamb and can
be wired in from an existing closet light outlet.
The light goes on when door is opened, off when
it is closed.
HEATED WINSHIELD WIPER — Heated
blade for the windshield wiper, recently patented,
contains through its length a small-diameter coil
of electric heating wire. One end is grounded and
the other connected to the car’s electric system.
The heat keeps both the wiper itself and the wind
shield clear of ice and snow.
ELECTRIC SHEET — Offered in white, maize,
blue, and pink. An electric sheet is made with a
choice of single or dual controls. Marketed for
use with conventional bed coverings, the sheet is
made of shiny mercerized broadcloth.
SKIDPROOFING — A nonskid rug coating,
designated Griptex, is a liquid rubber coating ap
plied to backs of rugs merely by ordinary brush
ing. Griptex makes rugs lie flat, stops edges from
fraying, anchors the tufts, and prevents sprouting.
PLASTIC AIRPLANE MODEL—For a young
ster on an automobile trip, is mounted outside
the car. It is fastened to the end of a rod which
passes through a clamp fitted on the top of a low
ered window. With an inside handle, the toy plane
can be put through climbing, diving, and spinning.
HIGHER INCOME TAX
ON NOVEMBER I
Beginning with all wages and salaries
paid to you after October 31, 1951, your
employer is compelled under federal law to
increase the amounts of income tax he with
holds from your pay. Such higher withhold
ing is necessary because Congress has in
creased your income tax for 1951 and also
for 1952 and 1953. The old rate of with
holding was 18%. The rate which goes into
effect on November 1, 1951, is 20%. This
20% rate will apply until 1954, unless the
law is changed in the meantime.
You will find attached to the first check
you receive in November, a folder showing
the amount of tax to be withheld, depesd-
ing on your pay. Keep it for future refer
ence.

STILL THE BEST SELLER
Just 500 years ago Johann Gutenberg started
work on the first complete edition of the Bible
which was to be printed from moveable type. The
job took him five years. In the 15th century the
Bible was "the best seller” and now in the 20th
century, even though it competes with approx
imately 7,500 new books each year, it still remains
the best seller.
