The floor is composed of 16 grades of hardwood flooring, arranged in panels and separated by narrow Walnut and Maple strips. Each grade is plainly marked, and the entire floor has a natural finish designed to show the true color and grade of the flooring.

On the walls are shown 12 different textures and colors of plaster in panels. Redwood paneling and interior trim in various kinds of softwoods are effectively sholvn. Two kinds of fibre wall board are neatly placed in the walls and finished, and two brands of insulating board are set into the rvalls and ceiling.

On one section of the wall 16 different kinds of face brick are arranged in panels, and four patterns of roof tile are laid on a section of roof whi,ch is built out into the room. This section shows a rustic effect of overhang and brackets.

The modern kitchen is furnished with a complete Peerless built-in kitchen, finished in shades of green. Two styles of ironing boards are shown.

Three different types of medicine cabinets are shown in the complete bathroom display. The. two bathroom win- dorvs are provided with Watertite Casement Hardware. Trvo different colors of Bestile (made from Presdwood) are incorporated in the bathroom and kitchen.

A modern corner clothes closet with a full length mirror door, and lined with Cedar closet lining, will ,certainly catch the eye of the lady visitor, as will also a standard type of corner china closet, placed in another corner.
