This is what IF you have ever used lino- leum, you know how good a floor it makes—how smooth, how sanitary, how easily cleaned it is ; how resilient and foot- how beautiful and long-wearing it is. Perhaps you do not exactly know why all these things are so. In that case you should read with bottle- this advertise- steppers enter ment. Teisto tell imte linoleam you.

Try this test: Put an ordinary cork bottle-stopper on the ground and press it firmly and sharply with the foot sole. It returns to form » again. Cork 1s elastic. And linoleum is elastic. j Linoleum i§ made of cork, because cork is nonabsorbent. Try soaking a cork in water, leaving it there for a week. Then cur it open. You will find it dry inside. Linoleum is made of cork, because cork is a sound-muffier. ¥ Rap your knuckles on wood, then on a piece of cork, and note the difference in the sound. Linoleum is made of cork, because cork bark is naturally tough. Cork is used for handles, for the inner soles of shoes, and for cork tiles for floors, because it gesists wear. Thus linoleum, because it is made of cork, is elastic, water- proof, quiet, and extremely durable., When cork is mined with linseed oil Linoleum gets its name from linseed oil, which is produced from flaxseed. Linseed oil is the same oil that is used in paint, which, when exposed to air, turns to a tough, solid film. When powdered cork is mixed with oxidized _limeed oil, these two substances unite into 2 naturally durable and water- proof material. And when this material is pressed into bur- : ; 1ap you have linoleum.

And it is never slippery, never cold to the touch; for cork is a nonconductor of heat. Naturally, such a floor should be /aid, not tacked. And it should be laid carefully by a skilled linoleum layer. Laying linolewm for permanency In summer, wood floors expand. In win- ter, they dry out and contract, with a ten- dency to open up the cracks between the boards. Ygur linoleum floor, therefore, should be cemented (not tacked) over a lining of builders’ deadening felt which has been previously pasted to the bare floor boards. The felt takes up expansion and contraction and gives you a permanent waterproof, good-looking floor. The adde: service and wear this method gives are well worth the extra cost.
