 Printed hnoLeWm
 Printed Linoleum is a plain Gnoleum the surface of which is printed in a bright, cheerful pattern with heavy oil paints. If printed Gnoleum IS protected by coat of clear, white varnish applied every six months or so, the pattern will last for many years.
 InLGid IinoleGm
 In Inlaid Linoleum, the pattern is not printed on the surface, but each little colored block or shape in the pattern IS laid separately on the burlap, then pressed into one piece under heavy rollers. These colors, therefore, run clear through to the burlap back. /
 Inlaid Linoleum IS best protected by waxing and polishing. The ordinary wear of walking feet has little effect on a waxed inlaid linoleum floor.

 Modern linoleum IS pretty. It looks it's best, of course, when actually installed as the floor of an attractively furnished room, with fabric rugs laid on 1t as on any fine floor.

CENUINE linoleum is a very dura- M ble floor material. It IS made of cork and oxidized linseed oil, pressed or keyed on burlap back. The burlap back offers one sure way of determining the difference between genuine linoleum and felt base Aoor-covering. All genu- inc linoleum has burlap back.
 Your eye can see and your fingers can feel the weave of this tough, strong fabric.
 Another way to be absolutely sure is to look for the Circle, "A" trademark on the burlap back. This identifies the genuine Armstrong's Linoleum, and as- sures you of the highest quality.
 The story ofthe invention of linOIeHm Linoleum was invented in Cooh t~ 1865, by Frederick Walton. CIRCLE A The story Is that MT. Wal tOadsnarh o" ton noticed and studied the "'' D..ssaP OA"" film of oil that formed on /A\ an open can of paint. It TAI was tough and elastic. He "
 mixed this oxidized linseed
 oil with cork flour, and found that the two had natural afinity-like dough made with flour and milk. When pressed on burlap,' this "mix retained all the qualities of both the cork and the lin- seed oil. It was smooth, elastic, water proof, and sound-deadening. He saw at once that he had here wonderful ma terial for floors.
 Almost immediately the manufac- ture of linoleum began; housewives were quick to see its sanitary, easy-to- clean advantages. Some of this early linoleum is still in use. We recently re- ceived photograph of an entrance hall showing linoleum floor that had been down for ftty-fOe year5. The printed pattern was worn, but still distinct.
 Three kinds -of linOlenm
 First comes Plain or Battleship Lino- leum," SO called because of its use on the decks of ships of war. It is usually brown, gray, or green. The colors go through to the burlap back. The new Jaspe linoleum is ripphng two-tone

solinoleum reveals it's ssaI beauty when it becomes the floor of your home. :
 For sixty years, linoleum has been bought for the floors of homes. Women have wanted it because 1t was durable and long-wearing- because it was sam. tary and easy to clean-because 1t was smooth, easy on the standing, walking, working feet of the housekeeper-and because 1t made quiet floor.
 What good laying and ~axing proved In recent years a new and better way has been found to lay linoIeum. Instead of tacking down a fine linoleum floor, linoleum Is cemented down. A lining of builders deadening felt Is first ce- mented to the wood underhoor. Then an experienced linoleum layer pastes the linoleum to this felt, extending it beneath the moulding around the walls, and waterproohng the seams and edges. Then no matter how much the wood underAoor may expand or contract in summer or winter, the linoleum will not crack, buckle, or need retrimming.
 Waxing this smooth floor greatly improves its looks. Modern laying and waxing inspired more beautiful lno- leum patterns. Today linoleum floors are admittedly beautiful and desirable for any room in any house. Your fine rugs look better when spread on lino- leum floor, and the opportunity for color and design makes linoleum real andgrowingfactorininteriordecoration.

TO SPEAK FOR DAVIS.

Congressman Charles R. Crisp was
a visitor in Dawson Friday, and was
given warm welcome by his many
friends and admirers. Mr.. Crisp did
not make an address. He is going
quietly over the district meeting the
people socially and comforting with
them about matters and issues in
which they are interested
Mr. Crisp has accepted an invita-
ton from the national democratic
committee to make number of
speeches in the west in the interest of
the candidacy OF John w. Davis for
president He is regarded by the COM
mittee as one of the best posted dem
ocrats on the tariff, and will be de-
pended upon to aid in showing the
taxpayers of the country that the bulk
of their burden is not in direct but in
direct taxation, and that the latter,
the Fordney-McCumber tariff act, i'm
posing a burden of $4000,0O0,0O0, is
largely responsible.
