NAIRN LINOLEUM Straight Line Inlaid Plain and Printed Moulded Inlaid Cork Carpet Granite and Moire Inlaid Rugs PRO-LINO 1922 LINE AVERY LIBRARY COLUMBIA UNIVERSKPY Why Your Linoleum Business Ought to Grow O EUROPEAN fashion is more sensible and economical than the use of Linoleum as a general floor covering, employing appropriate designs for each individual room. The alert Linoleum salesman may greatly increase his business by taking advantage of and fostering this tendency to introduce the European custom, which so signally adds to the attractiveness of the home. The Nairn 1922 Line has been arranged after care- ful and exhaustive study to this wider field of selling opportunity. There are at least four fundamental arguments which appeal to salesman and householder alike. Charm: Dining Room, Living Room, Bedroom, Nursery, Sew- ing Room, even the attic den of some member of the family, may be made bright and attractive by one of the artistic effects offered in Nairn Linoleum. The designs and colorings are sufficiently varied and numerous to afford an easy selection for the proper decoration of the floor in such rooms. Economy: The worthy argument of economy loses nothing of its effectiveness in these days when people seek a floor covering that will wear equally with a hardwood floor, cost much less and embrace greater possibilities for decorative treatment. Labor Saving: Nairn Linoleum presents a smooth, unbroken surface, impervious to dust or dirt, and keeping it clean, bright and fresh is an easy matter in comparison with woven fabrics, where the dust and dirt penetrate the pores and fibre. The physical and mental energy conserved is a material consideration. Sanitation: The distinct germ killing property in Linoleum, combined with the labor saving and other features, account for its extensive use in hospitals, where all equipment must be absolutely sanitary. These features commend it as well for homes, especially where there are small children. Again the resiliency of Linoleum reduces noise and walking thereon is less tiring. Nairn Straight Line Inlaid ACH of these three words fits into the story of Nairn supremacy in the Linoleum field very much as each unit of the pattern fits into the finished product which is the peak of Linoleum quality. The word NAIRN implies thoroughness. To add the word Inlaid is to guarantee all that is desirable in Inlaid Linoleum. To say Nairn Straight-Line Inlaid, the worth of that staunch product, built in piece by piece, through to the very backbone of the fabric, is conveyed. Nairn Straight-Line Inlaid continues to look clean and new until it is actually worn through. The difference between the three grades of Nairn Straight- Line Inlaid is one of thickness only, the same expert work- manship and carefully selected materials entering into the manufacture of each. NEWARK (pages 6-11): This grade will prove most durable under equal conditions of wear because it is heaviest. The patterns and colorings are sufficient in scope to meet every variety of decorative scheme. SUSSEX (pages 11-13): Slightly thinner and consequently lower in price then Newark but equal in respect to design, materials and workmanship. UNIVERSAL (pages 15-18): Represents a popular priced Straight-Line Inlaid, lighter in weight than Newark or Sussex but embodying all the other features of these grades. Full satisfaction in wear for every dollar invested is assured. Nairn Moulded Inlaid WEALTH of elaborate designs, readily adapted to creation of artistic room effects, are embraced in the Nairn Line of Moulded Inlaid. Possessing all the features of durability, pattern through to the back, etc., that are insured by the word Inlaid, these goods can be depended upon to retain an appearance of beauty during the long life of the Linoleum. Two thicknesses are offered: HUDSON (pages 20-22): A particularly well known grade, by reason of its intrinsic merit and its wide variety of distinctive designs and colorings. It has yielded many a merchant a large business and greater possibilities still exist. Excellently adapted to bedrooms, sewing rooms, nurseries, small hotel rooms and the like. RELIANCE (pages 24-31): A quality of popular price, similar to Hudson but of less thickness. It affords valuable special sales opportunity governing genuine Inlaid Linoleum in attractive designs and colorings at a price that will produce volume. Nairn Granite Inlaid Nairn Moiré Inlaid The Vestibule, Sleeping Porch, Hallways and other similar spaces are made cheery and bright when covered with these goods. Also appropriate for small offices, show rooms, etc. Three colorings, blue, green and tan, are offered in a popular priced quality. Shown on page 31. The sun parlor should suggest coolness, cheerfulness and comfort. How well Nairn Linoleum lends itself to this atmosphere is effectively demonstrated by the above illustration in which Pattern 1073 /1, Newark Inlaid, shown on page 8, is used. With the assurance of color harmony is combined the advantages of a durable, sanitary and economical floor covering. NEWARK INLAID SHIRS EQUALLY 1002/4 1002/5 .
