Can Armstrong Floors take the traffic? Our best answer is to point out their popularity for restaurants and dance room floors. Above, you see one of the latest proofs -- the famous Arcadia, The International Restaurant, in Philadelphia. here the Armstrong Floor does the same double duty it will be asked to do in your own business home: first, to attract trade by its fresh, smart beauty; and second, to keep all its snap, dash, and eye-appeal regardless of a most severe day-and-night drubbing.

Your local linoleum merchant can tell you of other sales-attracting Armstrong installations, can show you other Armstrong Floors that give no hint of their years and years of active service. See him. Get the money-saving facts."
