Ten times faster than raking

A Parker Sweeper picks up everything... grass clippings, clumps, leaves, twigs, other debris... to give you a cleaner, healthier, more beautiful lawn. And Parker sweeping is ten times faster than raking. Parker is a quality sweeper, too. It's built to last for years and years. It's the kind used by greenskeepers, and they're the men who know. Your lawn needs a lift. Pick it up with a Parker. 9 models: manual, motorized and trailer. Parker Sweeper SPRINGFIELD, OHIO

That night the Averys decided to apply. Soon after, a home-finding committee called on the family. They interviewed Mr. Avery, a trade-journal editor; Mrs. Avery, a part-time teacher; Bill, Jr., a sophomore at nearby Elmhurst College; and Midge, 16, a junior at Glenbard. A warm, closely knit group greeted the investigators who watched for certain signs: Was the Averys' teen-age daugh- Suburbia Today, April 1962 18
