We know it is only simple thing,
but the simple things are SO often
the difference between comfort and
inconvenience We refer to a door
mat for your entrance-way--a rub
ber-linked mat which removes dirt
from the soles of shoes as you and
your guests enter the house. The
amount of dirt carried into your
spick-and-Span residence is i'm
measurable, but everybody knows
there must be great deal-every-
body, that is, who has ever welded
broom, carpet sweeper or vacuum
cleaner.
The mat we have been looking at
is the kind used in lobbies and COR
ridors of public buildings. The COL
ored rubber links, with spaced cor
rugated ridges, are SO designed that
the pressure of the foot makes the
links scrape the dirt from shoes. and
at the same time give an anti-slip
surface that is great boon in rainy,
snowy or icy weather. The dirt falls
between the links and remains un-
der the mat until the house cleaner
in your family lifts the mat and
brushes it away.
In stock sizes 16 by q inches and
18 by 80 inches. these mats come>in

gray with blue, white with green
and brick red with black. However,

innumerable designs to choose from,

idea worked out for you. You may
have your mat monogrammed or
imprinted with your house number
for 80 cents letter. These custom
made mats have the reinforced and
plain beveled nosing at all traffic
approaches, which prevents Stun
bling and tripping. When not in
use this rug can be rolled up and
tucked anywhere rolling pin would
fit.
We're practically dizzy from look

mats now available for home use.
There's comfort" rubber mating
"a sponge rubber base topped by a
semi-hard surface that would ease
the strain of standing for the busy
homekeeper if placed in front of
stove or sink. Used over your best
rugs on rainy days it will save wear
and tear and cleaning bills.
If you're looking for a new kind
of bathroom rug, you'll want to see
the spongy rubber one, with a mod
ern design, available in heavenly
colors-coral, old blue, greenland,
of course, black. Easy on the feet
and on the laundry bills, for it can
just be wiped off!
There is also new type of rubber
mat, made of slater cotton cord
and rubber, which has corrugations
on both top and bottom. In addi-
ton to the usual colors, this is now
made in white and would be splen-
did for shower stalls, both inside
and out, for it won't curl or buckle,
no matter how much water it en-
counters.
