  "The

  with 
  a 
  Guarantee" 
  

  

  For 
  Floors, 
  Furniture 
  and 
  Interior 
  Woodwork 
  

  

  These 
  constitute 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  features 
  in 
  your 
  house. 
  They 
  cost 
  

   the 
  most 
  to 
  install 
  and 
  are 
  the 
  most 
  in 
  evidence. 
  To 
  increase 
  their 
  wearing 
  

   qualities 
  and 
  accentuate 
  their 
  beauty 
  is 
  therefore 
  both 
  a 
  luxury 
  and 
  an 
  econ- 
  

   omy. 
  Assuredly 
  so 
  if 
  you 
  use 
  for 
  this 
  purpose 
  Old 
  English 
  Floor 
  Wax. 
  It 
  

   accentuates 
  the 
  natural 
  grain 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  delicately-marked 
  parquet 
  floors, 
  while 
  

   on 
  the 
  other 
  hand 
  it 
  will 
  produce 
  a 
  beautiful 
  finish 
  on 
  a 
  pine 
  floor. 
  

  

  Old 
  English 
  Floor 
  Wax 
  produces 
  a 
  rich, 
  subdued 
  lustre 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  flake 
  in 
  

  

  Cold 
  weather 
  or 
  become 
  sticky 
  in 
  warm 
  weather. 
  It 
  does 
  not 
  show 
  scratches 
  or 
  heel 
  

  

  marks, 
  and 
  is 
  more 
  sanitary 
  than 
  other 
  finishes 
  as 
  dust 
  and 
  other 
  foreign 
  substances 
  won't 
  

  

  adhere 
  to 
  it 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  easily 
  removed. 
  It 
  is

   life, 
  the 
  cares 
  of

  tend 
  to 
  lessen 
  the 
  vitality 
  of 
  

   men 
  and 
  women, 
  often 
  bringing 
  about 
  

   a 
  state 
  of 
  collapse. 
  You 
  are 
  not 
  sick, 
  

   but 
  nature 
  has 
  been 
  overtaxed; 
  your 
  

   sleep 
  does 
  not 
  refresh, 
  your 
  energy 
  is 
  

   lacking 
  and 
  you 
  have 
  lost 
  your 
  grip 
  on 
  

   the 
  good 
  things 
  in 
  life. 
  These

  Being

  desire 
  for 
  

   food 
  and

   power 
  to 
  draw 
  quicker, 
  better 
  

   and 
  greater

  from 
  what 
  

   you 
  eat. 
  The 
  gentle, 
  soothing 
  

   effect 
  of 
  the

  restores 
  

   your
