FLOORING 
BOOK 
Not necessary to dwell on the need of hardwood floors in a house. That 
is taken for granted. 
But there is a lot to learn about what kind of hardwood floors, how to 
lay them, and how to take good care of them. 
This book is a mine of information, and is the work of hardwood floor 
makers, and shows why “Interior” Flooring is best.

TjTGURING value in terms of service, 
A the most economical wood for home 
building is 
White Pine 
Lumber men, architects and carpenters 
have for generations agreed that no other 
wood gives such long and satisfactory ser¬ 
vice, when exposed to the weather, as 
White Pine. 
It does not shrink, swell, crack, twist, warp or rot 
—and once in place it “‘stays put,” after years of 
exposure, even in the closest fitting mitres and in 
delicate mouldings and carvings. 
These are not mere claims—every one has been proved 
. by three centuries of experience in America. 
If your lumber dealer is unable to 
supply White Pine, we would ap¬ 
preciate the opportunity of being- 
helpful to you in securing it. 
“White Pine in Home Building’’ 
is beautifully illustrated and full 
of valuable information and sug¬ 
gestions on home-building. Send

prospective home-builders.
