JVew OahfFloors in Old Homes 
It is perhaps not a very wise use of words to spend many 
in recommending anything so widely desired and fully 
appreciated as OAK FLOORS. Ffo modern home 
is complete without them. 
But we have nevertheless a cheerful message for those 
who have old-fashioned floors in an otherwise desirable 
home. There is a special type of Oa\ Flooring made to 
be laid down right over such old floors. The effect is 
as fine as that of OAK FLOORS in a new build¬ 
ing and the cost is so low that really no one has the 
least excuse to be without them. 
Oa\ Floors over your old floors actually cost less than the same area of 
good carpet; often very much less. Consider THAT! 
Just call in the carpenter and get his figures, and meanwhile you should be 
reading our really interesting oa\ flooring boo\. Please send for it today.
