New Homes Being Occupied In Sikeston Area
A flurry of recent housing activity in Sikeston features new homes and rentals. Mr and Mrs Crenshaw prepare to move into a modern William Street residence with a tile storage room for Crenshaw’s candy business, while Sonny Waggener’s Vernon street rental aims for completion within two weeks. New brick veneer homes on College and Lindley streets and several east of Sikeston progress, including a five room Vernon avenue dwelling, a duplex on West Gladys street, and multiple five to six room houses with modern conveniences such as furnaces and built in cabinets. A Bone Building remodel on Malone avenue adds a plate glass front, and a Matthews avenue project adds a five room residence by T W Lee and sister Miss Helen. Trooper V F Boisabbin and A E Nance join Sikeston residents moving in, with others underway on Gladys, Sikes, Park avenues and nearby streets as construction continues. The Latter Rain Tabernacle church foundation on North Frisco is completed with a 40 by 70 foot assembly hall planned for September and brick siding later.

Remove Wax Before Repainting Floors
Instruction notes that all wax should be removed before floor refinishing. If wax requires rubbing to polish, clean with turpentine or mineral spirits, soften and wipe away, then re-clean with the solvent. For non rubbing wax, a warm water household cleaner mix suffices to remove it.
Faulty Gutters and Downspouts Threaten Buildings
Leaky corroded gutters and downspouts can cause serious building damage, ruining walls and ceilings and accelerating exterior deterioration. Experienced workers can repair or replace flashing at doors and windows, roof intersections, around chimneys and vents, and clean or install new gutters. Proper coating can slow further metal deterioration from corrosion.
Clogged Drains and Caustic Potash Remedies
Clogged drains are usually caused by careless disposal of waste materials. A strong solution of caustic potash and hot water poured through a drain will burn away obstructions and dissolve greases. Occasional flushing with commercial solvents helps keep drains open.
