house Is on a hillside or high above
grade so that Its construction within
the foundation Is an economy rather
than an added expense.
Houses 10 years old and In many
cases much older find ready market, j
for there Is apparently a growing ap- .
preclatlon of the walu» which was
built Into homes a number of years
ago when building costs were lower.
Recent sales, according to the analy
sis, show a good demand In all sec
tions of the city, though the most
active growth Is still southward.
Cork Is Best.
A cork Is much better than a doth
for scouring steel knives. Stick It In
your scouring powder and rub It
brlBkly over the metal surface. It
will polish aa well as dean, and will
save your hands, too.

No Two Species

Did you ever consider, while admir
ing tha furniture In your home, the
more Interesting phases of the dif
ferent pieces of furniture and of the
wood from which they are manufac
tured?
Do you know that nature has labor
ed for centuries to produce raw ma
terial from which furniture Is fash
ioned, yet nature makes no duplicates
In wood?
There are thousands of different
species of wood In the world, but no
two square Inches are alike. The
same wood may be plain sawed or
quarter-sewed but there will be a
world of difference In the two. No
Inch In the saina board Is like an
other. You will never find two pieces
of wood of the same texture.
And right here It might be said that
Americans, because they have grown
familiar with wood, have, In a way.
bred contempt for It, but because It Is
growing scarcer more respect Is being
shown it. The federal government Is
teaching and practicing forest conser
vation, states are developing tracts
for the propagation of the different
varieties of wood which will be most
required In years to come. It is merely
a step to provide wood for the future
generations.
Trees are developed much the same
as a human being Is developed. They
have vertical pipes or pores which
carry water and a modicum of min
eral through their trunks and limbs,
just as the blood feeds the human
body. It is generally believed that a
"tree grows out of the ground,” but
the fact is that a tree's nourishment
is contributed by the air, light and
water received from above. If air
could he absolutely kept away from
any kind of vegtation for 30 to 40
hours, that vegetation would die
Trees have what are known as trans
verse pores, which, by a difference In
temperature, and falling of the tern
pqrature makes the diaphragm of the
tree, through these pores.
Were the whole history of wood,
and Its development and uses to be
written It would require writing the
whole of human history. There are
no products In the world whose history
will Compare with those fashioned
from wood% Civilization itself has
evolved along the evolution of wood
and Its uses. Civilization, as we know
it today, would have been Impossible
without wood. And strange as It may
seem to the reader, those nations
which have succeded^hiost have been
the ones that have followed the hard
wood belts.

Wherever floor coverings are sold throughout America,
these masterpieces of loom craft, bearing the hall mark
of the house of Hardwick & Magee Co., are known:

The Bundhar Imperial Wilton
“The King of Rugs— Durable as Iron ”
A veritable king among rugs. Its dee p lustrous pile is reminiscent of the
heavy hand-tufted rugs of the East. In coloring, in beauty of design, in dur
ability, the Bundhar Imperial leaves nothing to be desired.
In this type is found the highest pile and heaviest weight per square yard of
any loom-tufted floor covering made either in America or overseas.
It is interesting to note that the very f irst rug sold by Orchard & Wilhelm Co.
after they had moved to their present location was a Bundhar Wilton rug
sold by Mr. C. P. Swiler.
