Rugs are now being used extensively on account of their healthfulness -and convenience in keeping a room clean and free from dust. Our thin wood floors are used to great advantage in making handsome borders and filling up all the offsets. By arranging the Wood Border to cover 20 " to 36", the furniture can be placed around the room so that a large rug in the center can be easily removed for cleaning. Our floors are permanent and will last a lifetime. UR LOCATION in the center of the finest hardwood district of this country, enables us to serve our pa¬ trons to their advantage in quality of woods and prices charged. We have our own extensive wholesale hardwood lumber dealing as a factor in producing our high grade of work, and can guarantee all we claim for it. FINISHING SUPPLIES.
