 WOOJD 
 
 Is the American name for the article known in Europe as Parquetry, which means | 
 an ornamental hard-wood floor, that, by proper finish and care, will keep its color i 
 and figures, and lasts for generations. These goods have been introdncedand used | 
 about 12 years, and have become very popular, meeting a growing demand from ' 
 wealthy people, and those whose tastes are cultivaiei by extensive travel in for- ' 
 eign land, where ornamental hard-wood floors (Parquetry) are, and ever have ' 
 been universally and extensively used. 
 
Wood Carpet, or American Parquetry. * 
 
 Is not, as many people suppose, .a temporary floor covemig, t^ be laid down and 
 uken up at pleasure, but is a permanent new floor on top of*the old one, and is 
 carefully fitted into all the offsets and runs around all the projecticTns of the room, 
 and IS firmly nailed down with small brads ; and when finished, has the effect of 
 a thick European floor. We make it, however, in the same elaboraie and beau- 
 tiful design, by the process of gluing the woods on cloth, instead of to another 
 piece of wood an inch or so thick, and we make it at a much less cost, as we util- 
 ize the floor already down, and thus occupy but one>quarter of an inch, instead 
 of one inch or more (as with thick Parquet). 
 
 Where disappointments have arisen from any kind of Hard-Wood Floors, it 
 has invariably been from not understanding the proper treatment, or in expecting 
 too much from them. The treatment of our floois should be the same as the Eu- 
 ropean. 
 
 The common remark, ‘'that a bare floor is so cheerless,” comes wholly from 
 the impression given by an ordinary pine floor with its un.sightly cracks, and from 
 not having seen the e^ect of a well-laid Parquet floor, in combination with the 
 furniture and ocher articles, in keeping with the character of the room in which it 
 is laid. 
 
 WOOD OARrBTING. 
 
 Standard Goods, are such as wc keep regularly in stock; they are of a uniform 
 thickness of one-quarter of an inch, composed of alternate strips of walnut and 
 ash, or one kind of wood only, cither oak, ash, cherry, maple or walnut. We 
 make them of two widths, 36 and 28 inches, also plain borders, 6, 5 and 3)4 inches 
 wide, and walnut ribbon strips to form the mitre lines and fill in doors and small 
 places. These woods are all kiln-dried in the most careful manner, and prepared 
 so as to prevent shrinkage. Care must be taken to preserve them from dampness 
 until the floor is laid and finished. ‘1 he straight carpeting, 36 and 28 inches w'ide, 
 rolls up like an oil-cloth, and is thus readily shipped. It weighs about seven 
 pounds to the yard. One roll, or ten yards, occupies a space of about three cubic 
 feet ; the plain borders and walnut strips are twelve feet long, and make up into 
 a solid package for shipping. 
 
 Fancy Borders are shown on Plate No. 6, and Centre Pieces, Plate No. 2, are 
 always kept in stock ; but Parquet Patterns are made to order, to suit the size and 
 shape of the room for which designed. 
 
 RUGS. 
 
 Are being extensively used on account of their healthful ness, and convenience in 
 keeping a room clean and free from dust. They are generally used on the middle 
 part of the room, leaving a margin of about two feet around the sides of the room 
 for the furniture to stand on. The floor upon which they lay should be a good 
 one, with some degree of ornamentation, and free from joints and cracks. The 
 dust on the border is easily removed with a damp cloth or brush, and the rug can 
 be rolled up at pleasure, and taken out to be freed from dust. Kitgsarc now made 
 to order at a very moderate cost, and of any desired size and shape. 
 
 BORDERS FOR RUGS. 
 
 Are made of Wood Carpet in an endless variety of patterns and prices, from 25 
 cents to $1.50 per square foot laid ; and, for this purpose, they are the most suit- 
 able material ever made; as they are just the right thickness, and easily laid on any 
 kind ot a floor, filling up all the offsets, bay windows, &c., without interfering 
 with the doors, and the edge of the rug is then not liable to trip the unaccus- 
 tomed foot.

 ANNOUNCEMENT. 
 
 I have engaged the services of E. C. HUSSEY, Architect, (of N. Y.) author of 
 ** Hussey's National Cottage Architecture," ‘‘Rural Art," and “Home Building," 
 as 
 
 Artist and Designer in Par((netry. 
 
 Mr. Hussey is the originator and patenree of the thin Parquetry Floors known 
 as Wood Carpet now so extensively used in this country. He was of the firm of I 
 Hussey & Whittemore, the first manufacturers of this line of goods, and after- |

THE OBJECTION 
 
 To the general introduction of European Parquelry in this country is, that in lay- 
 ing it on the floor of a room ol any flushed house, it will raise that floor about an 
 inch above the others, making it necessary to cut cff the bottom of the doors, or 
 eUe to take up and lower the old floor, so as to accommodate the thickness of the 
 Parquetry floor. Another objection is, that like European furniture, these floors, 
 as imported, will not stand our changeable climate and the furnace heat of our 
 houses. 1 
 
 j THE ADVANTAGES. | 
 
 Of Parquetry wood floors over carpets are many: first, as being much more healthy; I 
 second, they are much easier to keep clean, and also, in the end, very much more 
 economical than ordinary carpets, as they will last for a great many years. j 
 
 1 It is Worthy of Notice, 
 
 1 That recent writers on Decorative An and Household Taste recommend the gen- 
 ! eral use of Wood Parquet Floors and Rugs as the most desirable way to furnish 
 I the floors of our homes, and attention ib called to the recent articles in leading 
 Magazines, notably Harper’s and Scribner’s, 
 j These floors have been largely introduced in the most elegant and fashionable 
 1 houses, as well as in many of less pretentions, in and about New York, Phitadel- 
 i phia, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and other large cities and towns. 
 
 Floors are finished in Three Ways; I 
 
 ! ist. By oiling as often as needed (at least once a month) with equal parts of I 
 I linseed oil and benzine or turpentine. Apply with a rag, and wipe oflf as dry as | 
 possible. 
 
 ad. By putting on one coat of shellac with a brush, rubbing it down with sand- 
 paper, and applying a second coal. Use the best white shellac. 
 
 3d. By waxing. This is the best known finish for floors. Use pure beeswax 
 dissolved in turj>entine over a slow fire. Apply while hot to the floor with a rag, 
 rubbing it into the grain ol the wood as much as possible Let it stand over night, 
 then polish with a heavy v/axing brush. They should be brushed often to get a j 
 good polish. 
 
 To clean a waxed floor, wash off with turpentine. Floors finished in any other I 
 way should be scrubbed when dirty. 
 
 Price of waxing brushes, from $5.00 to $8.00. 
 
 E:s*rxnKA.TE:s, 
 
 Free of charge for floors or borders, with full instructions and working drawing, I 
 will be cheerfully given to panics sending us a sketch of the ground plans, with I 
 measurements, of the spaces desired to be covered, blate what class of room it is 1 
 for, also if a cheap or ornamental floor is desired. Our floors vary from $i.io to 1 
 $18 00 per yard. It is better to say about how expensive a floor is desired, and [ 
 the design will be made in accordance. |i 
 
 Our prices are for the goods uncut and measured before laid. The expense of 
 laying and finishing is a separate charge : It is not possible for us to cut the goods 
 here to fit any desired place. Any good carpenter or cabinet maker can lay our j 
 floors and make a good job from the woiking drawing and printed instructions. } 
 Our floors arc used in every class of house and in every kind of room ; they are 
 
 f iarticularly suited for Dining Rooms and Kuchens, where food and grease .arc [ 
 iable to get spill. In Chambers they give a cool, cleanly floor, are insect proof, 
 and allow the room to be swept out in a few minutes. A lug can be spread over ; 
 It in cold weather.

THICK PARQUETRY FLOORS. 
 
 As used in Europe, are made in three ways: the first being simply tongue and 
 grooved boards, laid diagonally or in other pattei ns; the second kind is made of pieces 
 usually of an inch thick, cut and fitted together in blocks, of any desired pat- 
 tern, in sections usually la or 15 inches square ; the third method is to make up the 
 design required from lumber ^ of an inch thick, glue the edges together, and then 
 glue this pattern to a backing of hard wood. These are called floors, 
 
 and this is the style used in all elaborate designs, as it admits of a much greater 
 variety of patterns than either of the other methods. 
 
 I WE HAVE THE FACILITIES for making all of the above styles, as well 
 as the thin floors of wood carpet, and of the newest and best designs, and shall be 
 glad to furnish designs and estimates to any one desiring the same. 
 
 The designs made by this method are more artistic than those of the patented 
 j floors sold in this country, made by a western manufacturing company, in which 
 tongue and grooved boards ar.: inlaid at intervals with a wood of a diflerent color. 
 These inlays are no thicker than the wood carpet, and the method of making the 
 floors allows but little range for elaborate graceful designs. 
 
 l*his method of making floors was tried by the original manufacturers of wood 
 carpet, and thin Parquetry floors, ii years ago, and after spending several thous- 
 I and dollars in its manufacture and sale, was abandoned because it was more ex- 
 I pense, not any more durable, and not susceptible of one-teath the variety of 
 designs into which wood carpet is readily worked. 
 
 The manufacturers, referred to above, speak of the wood carpet " as being 
 largely sold a few years ago,’* but now gone out of use. ' 
 
 I The facts are that the use of wood carpet and thin parquetry floors is growing 
 as fast as we can increase the facilities for its manufacture, and people for whom 
 floors were laid years ago, are getting thin parquetry floors to replace worn out 
 I carpets every year, and our largely increasing trade comes from people who have 
 ■ given the floors a thorough trial for years, and their acquaintances who know of 
 I them, and we seek the fullest investigation on this subject, and can give hundreds 
 ’ of references that will satisfy the most skeptical person of its durability and wear- 
 ^ mg qualities. 
 
 ' Arcliltects and Builders 
 
 Are invited to examine these goods and their various applications. Diagrams and 
 estimates will be cheerfully furnished at any time, free of charge, for Floors, Wains- 
 coting, Ceilings, See. A liberal commission will be allow ed on all orders.
