VERY likely you have thought
that linoleum could be used

Yeu can see this modern lino

plain colors, delicate Jaspes (two
tone effects) and distinctive inlaid
and printed designs.
When you leek at these designs
and colors, you will understand
hew the decorative scheme of a
room or suite can be built up from
a properly-selected fleer of Arm
strong's Linoleum. Yeu will knew
why architects are specifying floors

some modern homes.
Floers of Armstrong's Linoleum

Linoleum needs only an occasional
waxing and polishing, te keep it
looking like new. Ne ether fleer is
se easy te clean.
Agoed way te install Armstrong's
Linoleum as a permanent fleer is
te cement it down firmly ever a
layer of builders' felt paper. Such
a fleer remains smooth, tight, and
solid.

ture store will give you estimates
