“It's more lke being the.
vehicle for the song than

the writer of it...” -

Carpet has finally caught
on in that last chilly corner of
the floor of ‘your home—the
bathroom. Thanks to a major
penetration of the market
with a new washable nylon
product, you can enjoy the
warmth and life and colour of
carpet in this last little
room.

Peerless Rug of Montreal
has introduced an exciting
new carpet which is ideal for
the bathroom. It has the look
and feel of a luxurious velvet
plush, but with a big plus.
It’s completely washable.

Sold under the brand name
*Silhouette’ and/or Peerless,
the carpet is easily installed
by anyone who can use a pair
of scissors. And at a cost of
around $50 for an average
sized bathroom, the price is
attractive as the appearance.

Tho Vancouver Average
Bagket Price rose to $60.23
for the week ending March

A substantial advance in
the Fresh Fruit component
and continuing increases in

Not only will the softness
and luxury enhance the
appearance of any bathroom,
it will also reduce the risk of
accidents in homes where
there are young children or
elderly persons. Safety stati-
stics show that far too many
serious home accidents hap-
pen in the bathroom. But,
the problem of keeping
carpet clean has hitherto

been a head-ache, especially
where there are small

children.

The new carpet, on the
other hand, can be self-
installed and can be launder-
ed in any regular size
washing machine and dryer.
It has a special waffle latex
backing which grips the
existing floor so firmly that it
is not necessary to install the
carpet with double face tape.
It can be kept dust-free and
lint-free between washings

by regular vacuuming.

can be laundered as often as"

necessary without fear of
colour change or shrinking.
Even if left wet on the floor,
the carpet will not rot or
mildew.

NEW COLOUR
PREFERENCES

According to a recent
survey on colour preferences
for bathroom carpet, the
most popular tones were
those found in nature. A
Toronto psychiatrist
comments: ‘“‘It’s a natural
reaction to all the sterility of

chrome and porcelain in
bathrooms’’. °
