  are 
  the 
  busiest 
  places 
  of 
  the 
  home. 
  Within 
  

   their 
  walls 
  more 
  work 
  is 
  done 
  — 
  upon 
  their 
  

   floors 
  more 
  steps 
  are 
  taken 
  than 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  

   other 
  rooms 
  combined. 
  Preparation 
  of 
  

   food 
  demands 
  constant 
  exercise 
  of 
  hygienic 
  

   precaution. 
  

  

  If 
  cleanliness 
  is 
  necessary 
  in 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  

   residence, 
  it 
  is 
  vital 
  in 
  the 
  kitchen 
  and 
  pantries. 
  

   Cleanly 
  conditions 
  cannot 
  be

  or

   have 
  brought 
  about 
  its 
  use 
  in 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  

   handsomest 
  homes 
  of 
  America. 
  

  

  This 
  incomparable 
  flooring 
  material 
  is 
  absO' 
  

   lutely 
  waterproof 
  and 
  provides 
  perfect 
  sanitation. 
  

   No 
  other 
  surface 
  is 
  nearly 
  so 
  restful 
  to 
  stand 
  

   and 
  walk 
  upon. 
  It 
  makes 
  a 
  floor 
  that 
  is 
  more 
  

   durable 
  than 
  marble. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  possible 
  to 
  slip 
  

   upon 
  it, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  silent 
  to 
  the 
  tread. 
  It 
  is 
  

   adaptable 
  to 
  a 
  greater 
  variety 
  of 
  designs 
  and 
  is 
  

   far 
  more 
  elegant 
  than 
  any 
  other 
  materia!.
