It is either larger or smaller. Mills keep these pieces until they have a large number and then sell them at cost or less. We were fortunate in procuring several hundred Klearflax linen rugs in these odd sizes that we can . sell for one-third less than their fair prices. Most of them are room sizes and in many instances they will fit rooms better than stock sizes. Klearflax rugs are fine for any season, but for Summer in particular, and suitable for hotels, offices and institutions, as well as for cottages. They are tightly woven, which makes them easy to keep clean, and are thick enough to lie flat and give a soft and silent tread. Being of linen, moths will not eat them, and being reversible, they last longer. These rugs are in good, soft, single colors such as taupe, gray, pink, brown, blue and green.
