Automobile makers are shrewd buyers. They seek quality, endur- ance, reliability. The Studebaker Corporationsfor instance, buy floors on & mileage basis. Throughout the branches of their Eastern Divi- sion—as & definite sales policy—long- wearing floors of Armstrong’s Linoleum are being laid. The fact that Studebaker’s are in the automobile business natu- nally led them to select a floor s o bk bk that “never needs repairs.” Sales-making floors The sutomobile showroom discloses large expanses of floor space. Naturally such a room demands a truly beautiful floor—one really in keep- ing with fine cars and discrimi- nating buyers. The floor you see in the picture is Armstrong’s Marble Inlaid Pattern No. 76, laid with a plain black linoleum border. The entire floor was permanently ce- mented in place over a lining of builders’ deadening felt. . Nor were Studebaker’s limited in their selection of an Armstrong’s Linoleum Floor. The pattern they chose is only one among scores of Armstrong designs appropriate for modern business use—Jaspé tiles, Handcraft tiles, and a range of colors in Armstrong’s Battleship Linoleum. These floors are comfortable ard springy undetfoot. Customers like to shop on such a floor; clerks do not grow weary standing on it. Such a floor quiets noise, and this means & noticeable jump in. sales efficiency. Cleaning bills sHced A permanently laid floor of Armstrong’s Linoleum presents a smooth, polished surface that offers no open seams to harbor dirt and dust. There is no easier floor to clean. The night porter, with a few minutes’ brushing, makes them ready for tomorrow’s visitors. Have them gone over occssionally with a mop on which a little liquid wax has been sprinkled. Instead of showing the signs of age and hard wear, they will actually become more pleasing in their appearance.
