Oak floors are laid throughout ’’The 
Perfect House,” Glen Ellyn, III., 
shown below, with the living room 
at the left, now being featured in mo¬ 
tion picture houses throughout the 
United States, under the title, 
“The Great Idea.” 
Oak Floors 
throughout 
J F your home has the old-fashioned 
carpeted softwood floors, it can be 
modernized by inch oak flooring, laid 
right over the old floor. The work may 
be done one room at a time, if conven¬ 
ient, at a cost less than the old floor, 
plus carpet. Your floors will then be 
sanitary, with no carpets or cracks to 
collect dirt and disease germs. House¬ 
work will be reduced, as endless sweep¬ 
ing is no longer necessary to keep an 
oak floor bright and clean. 
-for permanence., charactercharm 
As guests enter your home, they are welcomed by oak 
flooring in the hallway, reflecting in its bright polished 
surface the beauty and variety of figure that charac¬ 
terize oak. Hospitality extends into the living room, 
comfortable and “home-like” in its appointments, en¬ 
hanced also by Nature’s permanent floors of oak. 
In the dining room, too, oak floors finished to har¬ 
monize with the coloring of walls and hangings, convey 
a sense of well-being and enjoyment; in the bed rooms 
they possess that quiet dignity and charm that invite 
rest. The new finishes conform to room decoration. 
All these advantages are lasting, for oak floors im¬ 
prove in mellowness and beauty with the years, and 
are always modern.
