Dry-Guard from Convenience Marketing Co. is said to be simple to use, safe, and long lasting. The beads change color as moisture is accumulated and heating the canister in an oven will drive out the moisture and restore the absorption capacity. The process can be repeated over and over.

Other uses include monitoring sleeping infants and children at play or keeping an eye on areas housing valuable equipment.
Wood Flooring Product
Real Wood, a wood flooring product which utilizes such woods as walnut and oak, is said to look and wear like solid wood, but last and retain its beauty much longer, according to its manufacturer, Natural Vinyl Floor Co., Inc.
The l/8 in. thick tiles are made of wood molded under high pressure between layers of vinyl. They reportedly resist soil and stains and do not require refinishing as exposed wood surfaces do.
The four styles available include a 9" x 9" square, 3" x 12" strips in a herringbone design, an octagonal design created by pickets of wood tone surrounding a translucent marble insert, and a selection of various width planks.
The F4 Super Scraper's low-profile design allows it to reach under and around obstructions. A low center of gravity keeps the blade edge hugging the surface to prevent grooves and gouges.
Camber ground, four-edge blades can be resharpened and are interchangeable with all similar scrapers. Safety is provided by a recessed blade mount that exposes only the blade in use.
Everything In lts Place

Reinlorced Rellections
Process mirrors with two separate back coatings to build resistance to silver deterioration and black edge are new from Falconer Glass Industries.
Falcoat II mirrors feature a primary coat that protects and seals the silver and copper to the glass and supposedly is impervious to moisture which could cause silver corrosion. To protect the primary coat, a specially formulated second coat that reportedly is highly resistant to scratching is applied.
The double coat backing is said not only to improve mirror performance but also to reduce the possibility of damage in transit.

The range has two 6 in. heating elements and two 8 in. elements. The main, full-size self-cleaning oven has a dual-radiant baking system that uses both the broiler and baking elements simultaneously for even heating.
The range has a built-in warming oven, Cookmaster cooking controls, a broiler pan, two adjustable oven racks and a window door.
Clearly For the Birds
A clear bird feeder which attaches to windows with two clear vinyl suction cups is new from Rubbermaid Specialty Productions, Inc.
The 7 "-diameter feeder can be removed and replaced easily for cleaning without disturbing the suction cups.
A wide reservoir and generous perch is said to encourage birds to feed. The sloping roof with an overhang helps direct rain away from the seed.
