A painstakingly digitized copy of The Glo Candle For All Occasions, from The Glow Candle Company. "What is more fun than transforming a 10 pound cake of paraffin wax into attractive, colorful candles? In a few minutes YOU CAN LEARN THE TRICK -- how to make the candle that glows. ...The frosty decoration on the GLO - Candle is beautiful, but for the real charm of the Candle IT MUST BURN to show the beautiful and fascinating GLOW effect."
From the foreword:
"The ideas, suggestions and directions for making the GLO-Candles found in this little booklet are the result of the cooperative effort, experimentation and suggestions of many individuals.
Our Home Craft Department has spent many hours in experimentation and developing decorations for special occasions. We give you in the following pages the basic simple directions, as well as techniques for special holiday candles.
Literally thousands of men and woman have learned the art of making 'Glo' candles by following the step-by-step directions in this booklet. After learning the simple art, many of them have shared their 'know how'" with church groups, garden clubs, extension clubs, school groups, etc."
While the Glow Candle Company no longer exists (it was bought-out by another candle company in 1977, the ideas in this vintage booklet are based upon paraffin waxes in general; they are not brand specific.
