HINTS ON TAKING
HOUSEHOLD INVENTORY
Having an inventory of your
household and personal belong
ings is important in the event of
loss through fire, flood, wind
storm, tornado damage or theft
Such an inventory is not ironclad
evidence, but it can help convince
a skeptical insurance adjustor.
When making a claim, the bur
den of proof is on you, the home
owner. If you have no inventory,
no receipts or no evidence of own
ership, then the adjustor must rely
on his own judgement. He sizes up
a person by what he earns, the
Versatile
It’s more than a name.

the name on the side. The Bidirectional is truly one of the most ver
satile pieces of equipment you can own.

neighborhood he lives in, money
in the bank and style of living. If
you don’t fit in the typical categ
ory, you could be in for a difficult
time in having your losses
replaced.
There are other advantages to
having a household inventory. For
example, an item by item inven
tory lets you know if you are
adequately insured. Most people
are not. If you suffer an uninsured
loss, which is tax deductible, an
inventory puts you in a better posi
tion to prove a loss. And an inven
tory makes you aware of items
you should insure separately.

FORD NEW HOLLAND
Booth At The
PA FARM SHOW!
If you should suffer a loss, the
adjustor will calculate the present
value of an item by figuring what
it would cost to replace it, includ
ing sales tax, with an identical
brand new item. Then he allows
for depreciation. A short cut for
you is to note the date of purchase
and the original cost. Other ways
to simplify the process of making
a household inventory are:
* Use your camera or video
recorder to record what you own.
Write prices and dates of pur
chases on back of the photos or
include this list with your video
tape.
* Go through each room
recording on a tape recorder what
you see. Describe the items. Don’t
forget to put your tape recorder on
your list, too.
* Make a note of the serial
numbers on appliances and
include brand names.
* Keep your inventory up to
date by adding major purchases to
your list
* Keep lists, photos, and tapes
somewhere other than at home.
One good place is your safe depo
sit box.

It soon will be time to take
down the holiday decorations and
give our homes a thorough
cleaning.
Remember you can keep most
wood furnishings, antique as well
as modem, in good, lustrous con
dition with regular dusting and
polishing.
Sometimes wood surfaces
become drab and lose all color and
animation. When this happens to
an older piece of furniture as it
becomes clogged with dirt and
grime, you need to clean it Many
reputable cleaning products are
available in hardware or grocery
stores to help you do the job.
Or you can take liquid wax or
oil polish - the kind used to origi
nally finish the piece - dip into it
with a coarse cloth or pad of finest
steel wool and rub wood gently
along the grain. Wipe off residue
before it dries. If wax has built up
or turned white in carved areas,
use an old toothbrush to remove it.

HOW TO CLEAN
WOOD SURFACES
Day Care In
Then wipe dry.
Soap and water cleaning may
sound unwise but its’ an alterna
tive method for cleaning wood
surfaces. It has the advantage of
taking off sticky stains and muifcy,
ingrained soil. To do this, com
bine mild soap and warm water
and beat to a thick, billowy suds.
Dip a clean sponge into the suds
and wash a small area at a time.
Rinse with a fresh sponge and
clean water. Dry immediately and
polish.
Remember that no job will be a
success unless you read labels,
follow directions, and use clean
cloths for all polishing jobs. One
secret of success when waxing
wood surfaces is to apply a thin
coat of wax. To do this put some
wax on a soft cloth which you’ve
folded in several layers.
Remember, cleaning aids and
vacuum cleaner attachments are a
big help when cleaning your home
furnishings, but there is no short
cut that takes the place of regular
dusting.
