\/ UUR floors may be \ 



A of the finest woods, \ 

 or of the most in- 

 expensive. They may be 

 old or new, painted or un- 

 painted, stained or unstained 

 — or you may prefer to cover 

 them with oil cloth or linoleum 

 —yet ELASTICA, the one 

 perfect floor varnish, will preserve them all with an elastic, bright, 

 durable, waterproof finish. ELASTICA is easily applied and dries 

 hard over night ; in the morning you'll have a beautiful, lustrous 

 floor which is marproof, waterproof and "boy-proof." 



Remember the Name E-L-A-S-T-I-C-A. There is only one ELASTICA, 



and that is made by the Standard Varnish Works.
