TRADE MARK 



Shades 



are made of thin strips of Linden wood, closely 

 bound with strong seine twine in a lockstitch 

 weave. They are artistic- 

 ally stained in weather- 

 proof colors to harmonize 

 with color scheme of 

 house. 



They keep out the sun, 

 but let in the breeze. 



Can be seen through from 

 the inside, but not from 

 the outside, giving pri- 

 vacy and seclusion. They 

 are inexpensive — average 

 equipment costing only 

 from $2 to $10 according 

 to size of porch. The 

 shades come in various 

 widths. 



Vudor Porch Shades last for 

 years and should not be con- 

 fused with the flimsy, careless- 

 ly-made bamboo or imported 

 screens which do not last and 

 always look cheap.
