FLOORLAC
Floorlac is a high quality waterproof finish for
staining and varnishing floors at one operation.
It preserves to the greatest extent the beauty of the
natural grain of the wood it is unlike many stains
which, although they look well when first put an,
lose their brilliancy and fade out after short exr
posure. -Floorlac is durable in color as well as .in
wear-resisting qualities. It will not show scratches
or heel marks readily.
We will be glad to talk over the question of
floor finishes with you. Come in.
