 gance is demanded to influence those within to a 

 sense of perfect ease and freedom. Nothing 

 else can bestow so completely this effect as a 

 floor of 



PENNSYLVANIA 

 INTERLOCKING 

 RUBBER TILING 



Its property of noiselessness makes certain that no un- 

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

 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 tlie 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 lo be gained by 

 the use of Pennsylvania Rubber Tiling a.e lold in 

 our Booi-iif-Ti/ins Deiii;nK wiiich will be sent free 

 upon request. By supplying dimensions of any space 

 you may wish covered, you v^-i(t receive cost estimates 

 and full information.
