A CHALKBOARD LIKE THIS makes taking phone messages much easier. Try putting one up by the phone and see how it helps to relieve the search for paper and pencil.
Chalkboard Is Solution To Make House Telephone Duties Easier
By MARY COOPER
Does your house have difficulty keeping a pencil and pad of paper by the telephone? The solution could be a chalkboard, for chalk is a lot easier to keep on hand than pencil and paper.
Here are the simple directions for making a chalkboard.
Take a panel of masonite tempered hardboard, either one-quartet or three-sixteenth of an inch thick, and cut a rectangle two feet wide and eighteen inches high. The smooth hard surface of the hardboard is a wonderful base for the late surfacing material to be applied. In fact, chalkboard manufacturers use these panels in making he product for schools.
Round the top corners and bevel the exposed edges with a file or sandblock. Also drill some holes through which screws may be used to fasten the board to a wall.
Prepare the board by giving it two coats of a transparent pigment seal-coat, sanding the first coat thoroughly and removing the high spots from the second coat after it is completely dry. Then apply a heavy coat of a slate surfacing material, available at a paint store. After it is completely dry, rub it down with clean dry rags, and the board will be ready for use.
Of course you can easily add a chalk trough by attaching a piece of rooved wood at the bottom, applying screws from the back of the hardboard. The trough may be varnished or stained.
The result is no more searching for a pencil and pad of paper when he telephone rings.
