GET your lluons laid now. Do not wait until September Ist 

 Miieii every one is clamoring that his floors must be at- 

 tended to at once as he is returning to the city. The 

 \\i ii-k will c'ljst you less now than if you wait until all our AGENTS 

 in the VARIOUS CITIES are ru.'.hed with business. 



If you put in our HARDWODD FLOORS you will have no 

 ]nore heavy carpets to sweep and the servant question Avill thus 

 be one step nearer solution. Our ORNAJMENTAL FLOORING 

 is clean and sanitary and costs a little more than a good carpet. 



Do not buy connnon lumber yard flooring A\hich stands out in 

 open sheds absorliing moisture, for it will surely warp, twist and 

 .shrink, causing unsightly cracks which will prove a lodging place 

 for dirt. Install our air-seasoned, kiln-dried PARQUETRY 

 which is kei)t in heati-d storage rooms mitil moment of shipment. 

 If p(.)ssilile, have our agent lay it. If we have no agent near you, 

 we will be glad to make you laying plans for the use of your local 

 carpenter.
