HARDWOOD FLOOR
BUSINESS GOOD IN
CITY THIS SPRING
Much Refinishing Work
Being Done, Asserts
Thomas Guffey.

The refinishing Of floors in connec
ton with spring housekeeping has
been extensive throughout the city,
Thomas Guffey, APO Guilford Ave.
hardwood floor finisher, said today.
The backward spring weather af-
fected the hardwood floor business
to some extent for several weeks,
but the opening Of spring weather
has given incentive to many home
owners to get their floors reflnished.
Hardwood floors have many ad-
vantages over soft woods, Guffey
pointed out. They are more attrac:
tive, more durable and lessen the up.
keep costs, he said, stating that
practically all of the finer homes Of
the city are being built with hard
wood floors throughout.
Guffey has been in the hardwood
floor business for seventeen years
and is one of the best known men
in his business in the city. Most
Of the work being done now is in
residences, although some business
concerns are relaying hardwood
floors, he said.
A new type of floor finish, in
which Guffey is specializing at pres
ent, Is the oil and wax finish. Many
old floors being refinished now have
been made very attractive by this
process, he said. 1t does not mar
as easily as the old high-gloss shell
lac or varnish-iinished floors, but
has a soft gloss tone.
Prices for hardwood floor work are
steady, with little change in Off
grade floors. Labor prices have been
steady and other costs have not fiuc-
tuated, Guffey said. The average
days laying. according to Guffey, is
seventy square feet of finished work.
Guffey stresses quality work"
and many of the new finer-built In
dianapolis homes are his best recon-
mendations, he said.

DEMAND CROWS

exerted toward coping with this
demand in order to supply the mar

Another leading factor in the

!, Efforts are being made to change
this program under a proposed con-
stitutional amendment which would
have each Congress session begin in
January and continue until the work
of the session was accomplished. The
new scheme also would move the in
auguration of the President to early
in the January following his election.
The new scheme would do away with
what Is known as the lame duck
session of Congress, or the snort
session. which follows an election and
at which defeated members still sit
and function. although technically
"repudiated" by their party or their
constituencies.

to be proceeding in a desultory sort of
