Polished Qak-The Floor Beautiful
There is nothing that yields so much of lasting satis-
faction about the home, as do polished oak floors.
The beauty of polished Forked Leaf Oak is admitted
by all, its durability is unquestioned, yet many do not
know it is inexpensive.
Oak Floors are inexpensive for the reason of their
pemanency and because less labor is needed to keep them
in order.
Old floors may be made beautiful by laying 3-8 inch
oak flooring over the old floor. It is not necessary to dis-
turb the old floor just order LONG-BELL Forked Leal
Oak flooring, engage a carpenter and proceed.
If you will give us the size of your rooms, we will
cheerfully advise you the cost of material.
