Florsatin 
A unique floor finish 
Like Wax But Unlike It 
“ You can’t slip on Florsatin, Grandmamma” 
F lorsatin, as the name implies, 
is the Pearl of Floor Finishes. It 
produces the dull, satiny effect of 
wax, without its dangerous slipperi¬ 
ness, and retains it for months and 
3"ears with no more care than a rug 
or carpet demands. This unique ef¬ 
fect, inherent in Florsatin, is obtained 
without the expense of rubbing, and 
has never before been achieved in a 
lasting finish. 
Added to beauty is its extreme 
durability, ease of application and 
great covering capacity. The result 
is absolute satisfaction with a mini¬ 
mum of cost. May be applied to old 
as well as new floors. 
Send 10 cents for a wood panel 
showing the beautiful effect of the 
Florsatin finish and a copy of “The 
Home Ideal,” by Margaret Green- 
leaf, a 20-page, handsomely illustrated 
book on house decoration.

A 
GREENHOUSE 
FOR 
EVERYBODY 
So many people seem to look upon a greenhouse as a luxury pure and simple—while in fact it 
should be and is a necessary part of every home. If you never thought about it long enough to make 
inquiries as to just what a greenhouse costs, and the returns you get for the cost, then let us talk it over 
with you. Perhaps you don’t know that you can grow in it practically everything you would want in 
plants and flowers for the house (having all your old-fashioned favorites) fresh, crispy lettuce for salads at 
any time — sweet, juicy little melons snipped from your own vines, vegetable greens impossible to duplicate 
in any market or store, tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, in fact not alone everything in season but there 
will always be a variety of these dainty delicacies for every meal and surprises with which to tempt the 
appetite of your guests. 
Our new booklet, “ How to Get Started with a Snug Little Greenhouse,” is a most interesting bit 
of printing which we will gladly send on receipt of five cents in stamps.
