Hot, Sultry Nights 
Your porch, protected by 
Vudor Shades, can be transformed 
into cool, comfortable sleeping quar¬ 
ters for the summer. 
7/udorshat s 
will make it as secluded as your own bedroom. During 
the day they keep out the hot sun and let in all the light 
and air you want. You can see out, but no one can see in. 
You will not be satisfied with any other than Vudors after 
you’ve examined them. Vudors are proof against sun and rain. 
The light, strong, wooden strips are lock-stitched together with 
heavy, rot-proof seine twine (the same as in fish nets), which keeps the 
strips from slipping out at the edges and breaking. The raising cords 
of Vudor Shades will not annoy you by curling up and_ sticking in the 
pulleys. Vudor Shades are very attractive, for they are indelibly stained 
(not painted nor dipped) in colors to harmonize with your house.
