Building style assures age BARRY BUTTER Hard anyone can expect in one lesson to tell the exact circa of piece of Canadiana as years of ence and study are in order to become an au rity Below have formed simple guideline of construction techniques that if used when examining piece of furniture takes away some of the risk of purhasin re production and shoul be re membered when searching for articles of genuine authentic age and origin Planks thick and thin Boards that were used in making furniture in the lath and earl 19th centuries were gen erally much thicker than those of today because they were pit sawed In those days wood to inches in thickness was used for tops rails and floors Today this same type of board may be much less than an inch thick The standards changed with the introduction of the cir cular saw around 1840 Before that timethe woodworker had his planks sawed as he wanted them which accounts for the variety of measurements in early furniture ZT ServingSurfaces For he tops of tables leaves of foldin or dropleaf tables and final backboards of fur niture cabinetmakers of the vast preferred to use boards 300 JLeave it to Beaver measunn up to 28 inches in width and over an inch thick and they were generally select ed from knot free lumber If table top required two or three boards they were invariably tongued and grooved This is one of the rare instances where little lue would be used in the joints prevent the planks from working loose or warping but in most cases superficiaal traces of glue have IOng since disappeared 3Dovetails The early dove tail joints were never symmetrical be cause they were cut with chisel and saw The sides of drawers were joined with an enormous central dove tail braced by hand forged nail one at the top the other at the bottom In some cases the drawer joint is made of four medium sized dove tails but they are never identical At the corners of blankets chests d0ve tails of various sizes are also to

equally spaced and exactly the same Fcar 7Super Friends Hn°us W20 4Buqs Bunny llMedia Mix 5Sesame Street IoJo Frightensteln iTom and Jerry 7Run Joe Run 7Across The Fence Grape Ape 35 no llDale Harnev

bevelled around the our sides and fitted into the grooves of the drawerframe In most cases the wood was left rough in these unexposed places and all the marks of the pit or axe are still to be found Pegs or Dowels In the 18th and early 19th cen turies all traditional furniture of jointed woodwork was as sembled by means of tenons and mortises held by pegs The pegs were driven into holes which had been drilled first through the stiles then throu the tennons this securing joint Early woodworkers cut their own faceted or even iquarish pegs with chisel of hatchet Modern lumber com panies now produce turned perfectly round wooden dowels in long strips which wood workers cut into the desired lengths for peg work If this simple guide is followed authentic Canadiana should become litle bit easier to spot and all pieces selected will have the most vital feature of age in the form of past tech niques of hand done craftsman ship Comparative advertising in turmoil TORONTO CP Legal ad viser Wayne McCracken says comparative advertising where companies attack each others products headon is in turmoil in Canada Toronto lawyer he repre sents eight advertising agen cies and also is specialist in antitrust court actions He said in recent interview he is re esenting eight com panies acing the threat of court action over comparative ads doubt that these cases will ever go to court but it shows that the whole field of com parative advertising is in tur moil Yet big companies continue to battle with what has come to be known as knock ads al thoug United States study in dicates the value of them as compared to normal ads is marginal Probably the best known of the knockad clashes has been between CocaCola and Pepsi the giant softdrink rivals THE TASTE TEST It flared when PepSI produced ads that claimed half the confessed Coke fans who took blindfolded taste test found they preferred Pepsi C0caCola responded with their own taste tests that con cluded third of the Pepsi fans preferred Fresca runbased drink made by the Coke com pany Probably the most expenswe campaigns have been waged by the automobile manufacturers American Motors was the fir st to get into the act in 1974 with their commercials on warranty coverage Ford Motor Co has been using comparative ads to push its Granada models over those of rival Cadillac and Mer cedes In the gum market Beachnut has been pushing new line called Carefree in knockad fight against Trident the leader If manufacturer is hit by comparative ad campaign its likely hell counterattack Mr McCracken said Whenever possible be ad vrses clients not to get into this kind of headon slugging mat ch But some companies are very hot to do comparative ads after theyve been attacked The result is advertising with few ground rules and at great expense to the combatants DIES OMPLETEL Charred wood is decay resist am 11 It 25m Barrio Examiner Frlda Jul 23 l976 CONSTRUCTION PéGGED campch Roan nounv6 ans FLARED HEPMWTE poor 7027155 AND
