DOUBLE THE LIFE OF CARPETS AND RUGS. When your rugs are dull and grey land have lost their first beauty and brightness of color, it will do little or, no good to beat them or to wash them with soap and water. Either of those operations leaves the rugs in a broken and crumpled condition and is much harder on them than a year of ordinary wear. Going over your rugs just once with olsonite while they lay on the floor will restore the colors, preserve the fibres and raise the nap. Olsonite is easy to use; just brush over the rug and wipe off—that is all. They will look like new rugs. Olsonite was only recently announced in the Ladies’ Home Journal, Pictorial Review, Woman’s Home Companion and other publications, but you can buy'it at any drug store in this city. It comes in air-tight containers at 50c, and a package contains enough for two large 6x12 rugs or carpets. 1 » ♦ V LIST YOUR PROPERTY.
