Business Floors The Building Will Last— So Will the Floors ERE is one of the offices in New York City’s Municipal Building, floored with Armstrong’s Linoleum. This building is one of the finest of modern office buildings, com- pleted eight years ago, at a cost of $17,000,000. The floors of modern linoleum were chosen for the long wear they will give, for their com- fort under foot, and because they are easier to clean than any other type of floor. Such floors are quiet, too—they deaden the sound of footsteps, and subdue other office noises. If you are planning a public building or a busi- Cook for the CIRCLE A (on the burlap bach ness building, if you are going to lay new floors in your store or office, consult your architect, con- tractor, or any good linoleum merchant about Armstrong’s Lino- leum. We shall be glad to send him data and specifications for laying. A good way to install Armstrong’s Linoleum as a permanent floor is to cement it down firmly over a layer of builders’ felt paper. Laid in this manner, a linoleum floor re- mains as smooth and tight as the day it was put down. \ll Armstrong's Linoleum anteed to give ¢ntire satisfaction.
