STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, APRIL: 30, e e i e e See these lovely The Keynote of a Charming Living Room It is amazing how completely Kimlark Rugs meet the require- ments of a living-room rug. They offer something more than mere prettiness of design; it is ratheran elusive charm that you associate withonly the highest-priced rugs. Warmth you find in the rich, subdued tones; dignity in the un- broken expanse of their plain centers; friendliness in the light accent of their border designs. Yet, withal, there is a quiet re- straint that brings these qualities together in a delightfully har- monious whole. A Pretty and Practical Dining Room Rug Kimlark Rugs, with their happy combination of soft colored ground and discreetly gay design; are equally appropriate for sunny breakfasts and candle-lit dinners. Moreover, they withstand won- derfully the day-after-day scrape of chairs, the scuff-scuff of restless childish feet, the unavoidable disasters of spilled food. As for spots—a quick rub with art gum removes them. And an occasional cleaning with soapand waterkeeps the rug bright and fresh as new. Thick, Soft and Pliant— Ideal for the Bedroom Soft and pleasant underfoot— smooth and grateful to toddling baby feet—Kimlark Rugs are just the floor covering for bedroom and nursery. They are wholesome and cleanly, charmingly decora- tive,long-wearing. And theircolor- ings, light and gay, or discreetly subdued, form the basis of rooms of endless variety and charm. Delightful Patterns for Sun or Breakfast Room For these informal rooms, where a gayer note is wanted, Kimlark Rugs offer a wealth of charming designs and happy col- orings. They have other pleasing qualities which you donotexpect to find in as inexpensive a cug as this. They are soft and noiseless; lie flat without curling up at the edges; do not bend or break when bent,crushed or folded; withstand the action of sunlight; and wear remarkably well. Until you have seen them, you cannot realize how wonderfully pretty Kimlark Rugs are. Their fascinating patterns, their lovely, soft colorings, their smooth, fine weave, are a genuine delight to every woman who appreciates beautiful floor coverings. Not alone are the designs unusually attractive; the quality of the rug itself is exceptional: A remarkable, new method of production has given to Kimlark Rugs certain features that you do not expect to find combined in any one rug—features that give them great durability as well as lasting beauty. The smooth, soft surface of the rug, the firmness and pliability of the fabric, the thick, three-ply weave, make the rug noiseless, soft and pleasant underfoot, and give it a sturdy resistance to hard wear that is really amazing. You can afford Kimlark Rugs for every room in the house Though Kimlark Rugs have the charm of a high-priced rug, they are priced unbelievably low. You can, in fact, get two Kimlark Rugs for about what, you expected to pay for one. And every rug gives double wear, because it can be used on both sides. If you have only $20 or $30 to spend for a 9 x 12 rug, or if you must make $30 or $35 cover the cost of one large and several smaller rugs, Kimlark Rugs will meet your needs perfectly.
