Perfect Porch 
Covering 
As a covering for porch roofs, 
floors, and sleeping balconies it 
has no equal. While it is ex¬ 
tremely durable, it is sound-proof 
and non-heat radiating. Dead¬ 
ens the noise of the wind and 
rain and is a nonconductor of 
heat and cold. 
Durable 
For years CON-SER-TEX has 
been rendering universal satis¬ 
faction wherever laid on roofs, 
porch floors, etc. It never rots 
or stretches. It hugs the roof or 
porch surface tightly. Neat and 
artistic in appearance. 
Generous samples and illustrated 
descriptive booklet 44 Roofing Facts 
and Figures" upon request.

Oriental Rug Essentials 
WITHOUT WHICH, NOTHING: 
1. Honesty: Age proves 
merit; new rugs are acid- 
washed, ironed. Old rugs 
were better made, finer 
material, no aniline dye. 
2. Quality: Thick like plush, 
rich in color, no blending, 
no stain. 
3. Beauty: No raw tones, 
velvety luster and texture, 
artistic design. 
4. Condition: No holes, no 
worn spots, no ragged 
edges or ends. 
5. Fineness : Not a factor ex¬ 
cept between rugs of same 
name, and then only when 
other factors equal. We 
can not compare Anatoli¬ 
ans with Persians; we buy 
both and for different 
reason. 
6. Rarity: Buy no rug for 
rarity of name; buy only 
rarity of beauty, quality, 
condition. 
My rugs are their own salesmen, war¬ 
ranting my paying express. 
My customers are experts who do not 
look elsewhere anymore. 
Write for descriptive list. Rugs sent on 
approval for inspection ■without any oblipa- 
tton to buy.

If You Could Get A Tea Kettle Big Enough 
Get out of your head the wrong idea that a fierce 
fire and five or six pounds steam pressure is neces¬ 
sary for heating comfort. A teakettle large enough 
would heat your house, apartment, office, store or 
factory, if the piping and radiators were correctly in¬ 
stalled, and if each radiator were equipped with a 
Dunham Radiator Trap. 
Both these IF’s are easily possible. We prove this 
every day—and want you to be skeptical enough to 
ask for proof right now. The Wool worth Building 
engineers asked, learned why, and then specified 
Dunham Radiator Traps. So have many, many 
others in buildings large and small. 
HUNHfiM 
■^HEATING SERVICE 
m, 
The Service is as different as the Dunham Trap itself—the 
one outstanding invention in the last sixteen years of low 
pressure steam heating. Dunham Service co-operates closely 
with the architect, contractor, heating and ventilating engineer 
—and, in small towns, with the local Dunham Service Station. 
Supervision when the system is installed, and inspections later, 
when requested, make Dunham Heating Service of unusual 
value. 
Be skeptical—but be fair. Give us an opportunity now to 
explain in detail. Just tell us the kind of building in which 
you want steam heat at teakettle pressure.

Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
Preserve the Wood 
50% Cheaper than Paint 
Rich, Velvety, Lasting Colors 
Any intelligent man or woman can stain with Cabot’s Stains. No skill is re¬ 
quired, as with paint. The work can be done twice as fast as painting. The 
saving in material and labor is one-half, and the results are far better—much 
more artistic and attractive colorings, greater wood preservation. Over thirty- 
five years’ use has proved the value of these Stains for this era of high prices 
and labor shortage. 
You can get Cabot's Stains all over the country. Send 
for stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.
