A floor to adore 



For thirty-three ye.irs Wilce's Hardwood Floor- 

 ing has been araonK the foremost on the market 

 and because it stands today "unequaled" is the 

 best evidence that its manufacturer has kept 

 abreast of modern methods and the advanced de- 

 mands of the trade. To convince vourselt of the 

 above statements, try our polished surface floor- 

 ing, tongued and grooved, hollow backed, with 

 matched ends and holes for blind nailing— you'll 

 find it reduces the expense of laying and polishing.

Not only have the above kilns been designed and 

 built for war work, but hundreds of other Grand 

 Rapids Vapor Kilns have been diverted from their 

 peaceful pursuits and devoted to war work. Repre- 

 sentatives cheerfully sent to confer on such problems. 



We build not only the well-known Grand Rapids 

 Vapor Kilns, but also the Tiemann Kiln and the 

 Grand Rapids-Tiemann Combination Kiln, possess- 

 ing the best features of both processes. 



Submit your drying problem to experts who make 

 a specialty of kiln design, and are prepared to furnish 

 and install all equipment and instruments.
