  IN 
  THE 
  BILLIARD 
  ROOM 
  

  

  OF 
  YOUR 
  HOME 
  OR 
  CLUB 
  

  

  an 
  atmosphere 
  of 
  quietude 
  and 
  unobtrusive 
  ele- 
  

   gance 
  is 
  demanded 
  to 
  influence 
  those 
  within 
  to 
  a 
  

   sense 
  of 
  perfect 
  ease 
  and 
  freedom. 
  Nothing 
  

   else 
  can 
  bestow 
  so 
  completely 
  this 
  effect 
  as

  Its 
  property 
  of 
  noiselessness 
  makes 
  certain 
  that 
  110 
  un- 
  

   nerving 
  sound 
  shall 
  disturb 
  the 
  nicety 
  of 
  a 
  player's 
  aim. 
  Its 
  

   sure 
  and 
  restful 
  contact 
  under 
  foot 
  eases 
  all 
  strain 
  of 
  difficult 
  

   positions 
  and 
  makes 
  impossible 
  the 
  slightest 
  slip. 
  It 
  can 
  be 
  

   rendered 
  into 
  more 
  beautiful 
  and 
  harmonious 
  designs 
  than 
  

   any 
  other 
  material. 
  It 
  will 
  never 
  show 
  wear, 
  but 
  grow 
  

   handsomer 
  in 
  coloring 
  and 
  finish 
  with 
  each 
  year 
  of 
  use. 
  

  

  Pennsylvania 
  Rubber 
  Tiling 
  will 
  add 
  as 
  much 
  to 
  other 
  

   parts 
  of 
  your 
  residence 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  billiard 
  

   room. 
  In 
  your 
  bathroom 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  warm 
  

   under 
  foot, 
  sanitary 
  and 
  waterproof. 
  In 
  

   your 
  kitchen 
  and 
  pantries 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  

   most 
  easily 
  kept 
  clean, 
  and 
  restful 
  to 
  

   stand 
  and 
  walk 
  upon. 
  It 
  is 
  odorless, 
  non- 
  

   inflammable. 
  

  

  Many 
  other 
  exclusive 
  advantages

  be 
  gained
