PUS The Floor Beautiful 
U'LOORS are the foundation of a successful interior both |jgj||g|jti| 
1 as to appearance and color scheme. A good floor is ' 
beautiful in itself and supplies the necessary background for the home furnishings. 
There is no better wood for flooring than—■ 
Southern Pine 
“The Wood of Service” 
The “close,” compact grain of Southern Pine makes a smooth floor and one that 
is easily finished. The wood, although naturally light in color, may readily be 
stained any desired color to harmonize with other woodwork. 
Edge-Grain Southern Pine Flooring is quarter sawed. Only the edge of the 
grain is exposed to the tread, malting it very durable under severe usage. It will 
not sliver, buckle or curl; wears slowly and evenly; it is not affected by frequent 
wettings. 
Edge-Grain and Flat-Sawed Southern Pine Flooring may be obtained everywhere 
east of the Rocky Mountains. Its lower cost is due to the fact that the wood is so 
very plentiful. 
“Beauty Plus Service in Floorsis the title of a handsomely illustrated booklet , 
sent free on request. If you are building, you should have this booklet.

HUMIRAD 
A Helpful Hand to Health 
A Humirad supplies indoors the 
humidity that nature provides for 
outdoor atmospheres when tem¬ 
peratures are raised, and banishes 
a dry heated indoor atmosphere 
with its attendant coterie of ills, 
and its prodigal waste of coal. 
Those who know from actual use 
what a Humirad is, never know what 
a sore throat is. 
Used with a steam, vapor or hot- 
water heating system.
