Hardwood Floors

Hardwood flooring "gained early favor in the palaces of princes... he will not suffer a floor carpet... but insist on having all of wood, where dust may be prosecuted to destruction."  The Wood Mosaic Co. of New York uses modern machinery to make "better and cheaper floors" at great prices. Hardwood flooring can be found in oak, maple, cherry, ash, birch, Brazilian cherry, and walnut  hardwoods. 

Ad from June 1896.
