ITS A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
