NEW YORK — Sensation of the Home Furnishing show was the new quick “do-it-yourself” wallpaper which tempted thousands of women visitors to hang sample rolls of wallpaper on the experimental walls provided for the purpose. The new wall covering is electronically trimmed for seamless matching, is super washable and comes with built-in, non-staining adhesive that makes mess, paste and waste of time a thing of the past. The surface has a sealed finish that enables the homemaker to scrub off dirt and keep her paper looking constantly new and fresh. The simple routine for hanging this new product can be mastered in one 2-minute lesson. The homemaker cuts a strip of Quick wall covering long enough to reach from molding to baseboard, rolls the strip and wets it in a water tray provided for the purpose. Once the paper has been placed on the fall it is just a matter of smoothing out the air bubbles with a damp sponge or soft cloth. The homemaker can “quick change” an average-sized room for as little as 14 to 20 dollars and pick her pattern from 142 styles especially created for the new wall covering.
