“Since we made our discovery about Oak Floors and laid 
them in seven rooms the whole neighborhood has gone 
what you might call wild about them. 
‘Til venture to say nearly every one of my friends will be 
laying OAK FLOORS within three months (except those 
who have new houses, and of course THEY have OAK 
FLOORS already). 
“Our discovery was not that OAK FLOORS are handsome, 
stylish, lustrous, and easily dusted — everybody knows that. 
Our discovery was that you can lay OAK FLOORS right 
over your old floors and that, labor and all, THEY DON’T 
COST AS MUCH AS FIRST CLASS CARPET.” 
This is just the beginning of the story of OAK FLOORS. 
The rest is in the Oak Flooring Book, which is free.
