This Dining-Room
Floor An Appetizer
Many an otherwise attrac-
tive dining-room is spoiled
by the floor. It may have
been well enough. to start
with—perhaps a painted or
polished wood floor. But
sliding chairs and scuffling
feet have left the surface
dull and scratched. A floor of
Armstrong’s
Linoleum ,
in the dining-room is far
more durable than painted
wood, is easy to clean and
perfectly sanitary. Colors
and patterns for every taste
and purse.
Bathroom Floors r
That Look Like
Tile
'If you knew that you could
get a floor for your bath-
room that looked like tile’,
was fully as attractive, eas-
ier to lay, easier to keep
clean, more sanitary, dur-
able and economical, would
youhesitate to buy it? Such
a floor is
Armstrong ‘s
Linoleum
in any one of the perfect tile
patterns for the bathroom.
Call today and look over the
beautiful colors and designs.

IF
YOU
No Dirt Under
This Bedroom Floor
Whenever you look at
the matting or carpet on
your bedroom floor, you
dread to think of the dirt
that lies under it. For the
average bedroom floor is
extremely hard to keep
clean. Wouldn’t an
Armstrong’s Linoleum
floor—so easily cleaned
and polished—be far
more sensible? Of course
it would.
Dainty matting and car-
pet effects. Softly beau-
tiful bedroom colors.
Make it a point to come
' and see them.
