Carpet s position among
flooring materials has chang
ed Jrama’ticaily. in the past
ihirty vearv originally it
was only a floor covering,
an extra something you put
down on a finish floorof wood
-
beautify ft and make it
v armer and quieter Today
however carpet
as a finish floor in its own
right
This c hange w as tbt- direi t
result of the popular use of
carpeting tf
use carpet in this way there
is no longer any reai need for
' : >-.! • v-
arpet with its rug pad un-
,
..
The result — plainly and
honestly put is a consider
able saving of money Wall
to-wall carpeting costs sub
stantiaJly less to buy and in
stall than most combinations
of finish floor and area rugs
So if you are building new or
adding on you might do well
to consider attractive and
peting
