OLD FURNITURE.
To paint old furniture use a good varnish remover to tako off all tho old finish. Or smooth down any rough places, soften it with a cloth dampened in wood alcohol; let stand 24 hours, wipe off; then begin to apply tho fresh paint. Tho wood alcohol softens an old finish and gives it an edge or " tack " to which tho new paint will stick.
