Linoleum Co. WauchB, Gentlemen:

I thought you would like to know we are buying some of your linoleum, when my husband gets a raise as I hope he will. Our family consists of man and wife and dog. What kind of linoleum would you suggest? Perhaps you could send ua a sample of two or three lineo- leum ruga for the living rooma and then if we use them a while and like them we will get prices on lincoleum for the kitchen. Have you a linoleum which you mop with-

long, handled mop? My husband does not like to get on his knees to scrub.
