The Woven Wire Fence 



shown in this illustration is from every view point 

 the most desirable that can be used. 



What one sees are its pleasing graceful lines and 

 sense of protection without disfigurement of the 

 grounds. What one knows about this Anchor 

 Post Iron Fence is that its materials are the best 

 and longest lasting, its posts are anchored by our 

 patented anchoring irons, which insure its rigidity 

 and make perfect and lasting a true alignment. 



We design, build and erect when desired, fences, 

 entrance gates, iron railings, etc., for estates, 

 lawns, gardens and farms, each fencing especially 

 adapted to its purpose.

What Does a Glimpse of Your 

 Bathroom Show? 



It should reveal the cleanest place in your house, for all that you may think it is the most diffi- 

 cult to keep clean. There should be clear, airy brightness in it — as if a fresh breeze had just 

 swept through. It is easy to have your bathroom so ; there is no good reason to have it otherwise. 

 An absolutely sanitary bathroom is an impossibility if the floor is of wood. It is bound to be close and stuffy and 

 unless the most exacting care is taken, will become far worse. Wood absorbs unsanitary elements, and scrubbing'only 

 makes it absorb more. Soon or late it reeks. Moreover, wood furnishes no satisfactory color, and color is the secret 

 of clean effect. 



White should predominate in your bathroom floor and its airy appearance be emphasized with blue. This effect 

 can be produced with marble, or tilings of stone composition ; but such materials are cold under foot, slippery, and 

 unsanitary because of innumerable filth-collecting cracks between the pieces. 



There is only one way of having your bathroom perfect, and that is to cover the floor with 



Pennsylvania Interlocking Rubber Tiling 



This incomparable material possesses every quality necessary and desirable, and not one that is not desirable. It is 

 absolutely waterproof and sanitary ; it is not possible to slip upon it ; it is warm and pleasant under foot ; it is made 

 absolutely clean by simply washing with soap and water ; it can be rendered into the most charming designs, and be- 

 stows in the highest degree a wholesome atmosphere to your bathroom. It is odorless, non-inflammable, a non-con- 

 ductor of electricity, and far more durable than marble or any other material. 



Considering these peculiar advantages, you will readily see that the use of Pennsylvania Interlocking Rubber Tiling 

 in ether rooms of your home would also be vastly desirable ; in your vestibule, billiard room, kitchen and pantries. 

 Any workman of ordinary skill can lay it successfully right over your existing floors. Any combination of the following 

 colors can be promptly furnished : Red, green, blue, while, black, slate, buff and chocolate. 



Our Book-of-Designs-in-Color will be mailed to you free upon request. When you write for it we suggest that 

 you also send us the dimensions of any space you might possibly wish covered with Pennsylvania Interlocking Rubber 

 Tiling, stating the character of the room.

 because they don't start so early. If you are lnte about placing 

 your order for plants, shrubs or trees, send up to Vermont and 

 get dormant stock which can be set long after the more southern 

 nurseries have done shipping. You can save transportation, in 

 price and quality of stock . Ask for catalog
