The Economy 
of Tile 
When figuring on a tiled floor, 
do not forget that all other 
materials are perishable, but 
that tile is lasting. 
You cannot wear out a tiled 
floor. Nothing can injure it. 
It is there to stay. A surface 
that will resist any kind of 
dampness or contamination. 
Tile should be used in your 
home, not only because it is 
sanitary, but also because it is 
the most beautiful surface for 
building purposes in the world. 
We have prepared four booklets: “Tile for the Bath¬ 
room,” “Tiles for Fireplaces,’’“Tileforthe Kitchen 
and Laundry,” “Tiles on the Porch Floor,” 
which we send free to home builders. You would 
do well to read them before perfecting your plans.

T HE fierceness of the tribal feuds among the Bedouins—their lust for 
thievery—the perils of the burning desert, together with the tedious 
hand methods of manufacture, have long kept the genuine Oriental Rug 
out of reach of the many. 
IX Whittall methods transform the same Oriental wools into fabrics 
quite as beautiful and durable, and within the reach of all. 
C The nearest approach to the hand-knotted Turkish rug yet produced 
in this country is 
WhittaU’s Arabic 
with its high, luxurious pile, exquisite designs and 
soft, yet permanent colorings, imitating closely 
the priceless antique. 
c These rugs are unri¬ 
valled for living rooms, din¬ 
ing rooms, dens, halls, 
offices, libraries and public buildings. 
C The name WHITTALL’S woven into 
the back of a rug or carpet is your guarantee 
of highest quality at a moderate price. 
ORIENTAL ART IN 
AMERICAN RUGS”

taining helpful ideas and suggestions for floor 
coverings. Sent free upon request.
