Sanatile 



The Modern 

 Wall Tiling 



CIt costs five times as much 

 to use regular glazed tile as 

 to use SANATILE — and you 

 gain nothing. Every good qual- 

 ity of tiling is possessed by 

 SANATILE, as well as many 

 which tiling has not. It has an embossed, beautifully 

 enameled surface in plain white or permanent tints and 

 many artistic patterns. Absolutely waterproof and can- 

 not teai, crack or chip from accident. SANATILE is a 

 tough, elastic fabric, made in strips, on a heavy fibre 

 backing. It can be applied by any good workman 

 following instructions furnished with the material.
