Linoleum Co. Wanchai. 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 end- us a sample of two or three lineo- Icum rugs for the living room and then if we use them a while and like them we will get prices on lineolaum for the kitchen. Have you a linoleum which you mop with a long handled mop? My husband does not like to get on his knees to scrub.

Mrs. Ruth Powbottom
