Wdxing and polishing

The easy way to keep a linoleum
floor good-looking is to wax it. Rub
the wax in thoroughly and polish
with weighted brush. Rewax once
or twice year, and on cleaning day
restore the walked-on places with
a cloth moistened in liquid wax.
Scrubbing linoleum is unnecessary.
Strong soaps or securing powders
are harmful. Waxingis the right way.
Write our Bureau of Interior
Decoration
This Bureau, in charge of Mrs.
Hazel Dell Brown, an experienced
decorator, will help you to plan
color schemes for new homes or par
ticular rooms. Mrs. Brown will
send you suggestions of linoleum de-
signs, and tell YOU how TO take care
of your linoleum floors. We will
send YOU sample of Armstrong;
