lhe wery to Flner Hardwood Floors

r The durability and beauty of a floor depend greatly on the finish. That is why Bruce has devoted years of research to improving floor finishing materials and methods. The Scratch Test, pictured above, shows convincingly the results of this research.

In this test, one half of an oak panel is finished by the Bruce penetrating seal method; the other with a commonly used surface finislr. A coin scraped across the panel scratches and chips away the sur- face finish. , but leaves the Bruce Finish unharmed, because it's "in the rvood."

You get this more beautiful, longerlasting finish in Bruce Finished lloorscompletely sanded, finished and waxed at the factory. Similat results can be secured on the job through the rtse of Bruce floor finishing materials on unfinished flooring.

The Bruce formrtla for finer hardwood floors: highest quality flooring plus the "Scratch Test Finish."

In line 'ivith its policy of keeping the pla4t at the highest point of efficiency this company has recently set up another electric moulder and a Turner tu'in resaw.
