USE THIS 
Sanitary Flooring 
It is a patented plastic mixture that can be laid on 
any floor by almost any one. Hardens in 24 hours; it 
does away with all cracks and crevices; it is both 
waterproof and fireproof. 
It is Not Expensive 
For kitchens and bathrooms it is ideal. Comes in 
colors. If you are building a new house be sure to 
give this floor consideration. By using it your under 
flooring of wood can be made of less expensive boards. 
You save there. 
A good way to judge the flooring is to send for a 
sample and full information.

TYPEWRITER 
(BALL-BEARING, LONG-WEARING) 
The new Model Five includes every practical device and 
convenience the operator can require—all inbuilt as in¬ 
tegral parts of the machine itself. 
You will be delighted with its compact completeness. The 
ball-bearings throughout permit adjustments close enough 
(while still perfectly free-running) to eliminate all play 
and mechanical rattle. An increased volume of work, at 
least effort, is assured by the light, smooth touch and 
snappy action which does not_ tire the operator’s fingers. 
Even though “hard to suit” this newest model cannot 
fail to impress you. For the work you whnt of a type¬ 
writer it is without an equal. 
You should read our “Story of the Ball-Bearings,’’ •which 
explains just •why the L. C. Smith & Bros, Typewriter is 
the high-efficiency writing machine. Write for literature.
