Big offices are noisy. Any place where a number of people gather is filled with a medley of footsteps, voices, machines, bells, rustles, and squeaks, Floors that make for silence make for less distraction and greater effi- ciency.

You know that cork is resilient, moisture-proof, durable, a noncon- ductor of heat. Linseed oil is also ex- tremely tough and resilient. The bur- lap back gives linoleum strength. Thus linoleum is a floor material that has practically every naliey that can be deatrest in a floor. Armstrong's Lino- leum can be bought in different colors to suit individual tastes of business require- ments. Your archi- tect, contractor, or any good linoleum merchant can give you information on the economy of its use and its low maintenance cost. We will gladly give him data and specifications for [aying linoleum over concrete or wood. Waxing improves looks When waxed and polished, linoleum takes a beautiful finish. The thin film of wax serves not only as a protection, but actually deepens and mellows the color of the floor.
