Kauri Polish is splendid for hardwood floors; it produces far bettor and richer results than oil or uny other polish. It creates a hard, glassy surface, which wilt last for days, and which *is not sticky or smeary and cioca not easily show footprints or other marks. Kauri is more economical to uao than oil, and does not collect tha dust. Ask your grocer for it. N8712-4168
