CARPET from A to Z By John Atz Those Marvelous Synthetics a> 1 JOHN ATZ In the past few years we have seen dramatic changes in carpeting. Carpeting is now available in a wide range of lovely styles and colors, and is accepted by everyone as a basic decorating tool. What has brought about these exciting changes in carpeting? The answer lies in the development of the synthetic or man-made fibers. Especially developed for use in carpet manufacturing, these synthetic fibers have made possible the development of colors and hues never before dreamed of for carpeting. Man-made fibers have also lowered the prices of carpeting to bring it well within the budget range of the average homeowner. The man-made fibers produce carpeting that is extremely long-wearing and very easy to clean. Carpeting made of these fibers js crush and soil resistant. People often ask. “Which man-made fiber is best?" Actually, there is no one best fiber. Each fiber has its own unique properties designed to suit a variety of specific needs. When selecting carpeting for your home, you must decide which fiber will be best for you. For help in selecting carpeting that is especially suited to each room in your home, come in today and talk with one of our trained carpeting experts. You are sure to find the carpet you want, expertly installed by our own em-ployee-mechanics at your convenience. Shop weekdays till 5:30 and Friday nights till Copyrighted ATZ FURNITURE US6 A 33.
