[Illustration: NORTHWEST TERRITORY]
THIS CARTOGRAPHIC MAP OF NORTHWEST TERRITORY WITH THE ORDINANCE OF 1787
ON THE MAP BACK
In full color, this attractive pictorial map 18″×24″, shows how the
United States came into possession of the territory and how the states
developed from it—more history in easily understandable form than is
usual in a book.
Under the celebration plan, the supplying of these maps to school
students in a state is a function of the State Commissions for Northwest
Territory Celebration. Where the state commissions do not provide
these maps, they may be procured from the Federal Northwest Territory
Celebration Commission, Marietta, Ohio, at the following prices:
25 maps—50 cents postpaid
100 maps—$1.50 postpaid

HOW TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL HOME DECORATION OF THE CARTOGRAPHIC MAP
OF NORTHWEST TERRITORY
_The pictorial maps available are very popular for home
decoration, especially when “antiqued.” Splendid wall pieces,
lamp shades, wastebasket covers, etc., can be made from them.
Similar pieces in the art stores sell at $1.00 to $5.00._
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANTIQUING
_Stretch the map flat, using thumbtacks at its corners. With
a soft brush apply two coats of orange shellac. Let each dry
thoroughly. Other antique effects can be secured by the use of
umber, burnt sienna, Vandyke brown, etc., ground in oil and
thinned with turpentine. To mount the map on wallboard or other
background, apply flour paste to back; let the paper stretch
thoroughly; apply carefully and rub out all wrinkles._
