Whether you are building a new home
or live in an old one you would like to
have perfect floors— floors that are beau-
tifuls durable and which require a mini-
mum of attention— floors which harmon-
ize with any scheme of interior decoration
—floors of beautiful oak
It’s easy to have such floors and they
are not expensive — in fact when one
considers their long-lasting qualities and
the labor they save they are less expen-
sive than any other kind
The way to have perfect floors is to
specify Long-Bell oak flooring for your:
-new home or if you live in an old home
lay Long-Bell oak flooring right over the!
old floors Because of its beauty the ex-'-ceptiorial
care taken in its manufacture
and handling and the service it renders
it has been called the “Perfect Floor’1
Come in and see it and ask us to tell you
just what it will cost to have it in your
