What’s wrong with this picture? 
One thing so often lacking in 
home decoration is harmony 
between the color of the floor 
and the decorative scheme of 
the whole room. 
What color should you make 
your floor to harmonize it with 
the walls, the woodwork, or 
the furniture? What floor will 
make a proper background for 
the beauty of your rugs? 
What is the natural color of 
Maple, Beech or Birch, waxed 
or varnished? What stains will 
they take? 
You will find the answer in 
Color Harmony in Floors, 
a booklet which covers the 
subject in an interesting and 
helpful way. Ask your retail 
lumber dealer for a copy, or 
write to us, and we will gladly 
send you a copy with our 
compliments.

O VINGTON’S 
Book of Gifts is 
now ready for you. 
It is probably the 
most famous volume 
of its kind in all the 
world, for it comes to 
you filled with pic¬ 
tures of the choicest 
things that Oving- 
ton’s have been able 
to gather from over 
the seven seas. 
In many ways this 
book surpasses any 
we have ever com¬ 
piled for over two 
hundred pictures of 
new and original 
things enliven its 
pages. 
With this book as 
your adviser, you can 
select in your own 
home almost as 
thoughtful a gift as 
you could were you to 
come in person to 
Ovington’s. 
Upon your request a copy 
will be sent you. The 
edition is rather limited, 
so we suggest an early 
letter.
