A Roomful ol Roses in every new
"Rosewild" Armstrong Quaker Rug i
Colorful little groups of roses against backgrounds of swirling plumes highlight the
new Rosewild designs in Armstrong Quaker Rugs. Whether you choose pink or yellow
roses, you can be sure their colors will remain bright and clear because they're pro
tected by Armstrong's exclusive K-99 enamel surface. It wears 50 longer than
ordinary enamel floor covering surfaces. With seven sizes to choose from, there's one
to fit any room in your house without seams that catch dust and dirt.

far beyond that area. In shipyards, fast ocean-lake
vessels which will cut weeks from the 60-day voyage
from inland America to Europe are under construc
tion and will replace carriers one-fifth their size.
Harbors are experiencing a building boom of their
own. A $24-million dock development in Chicago is
near completion. Detroit marine terminals expect to
spend $15 million on 10 new ship berths, and Mil
waukee, already the most modern port on the Great
Lakes, has $10 million earmarked for further water
front improvements.
Biggest of all Seaway sister projects is the St. Law
rence Power Development, a hydroelectric plant
around Massena which will produce 2.2 million horse
power of energy. The $600-million system of dams
will bring mineral-rich but underdeveloped upper
New York State more power than supplied by the
entire Tennessee Valley Authority, virtually assuring
a new industrial center where quiet towns and coun
tryside now exist.
Those old catcalls are anticlimactic now. The St.
Lawrence Seaway is on its way, and its first big ship
ment seems to be optimism. A Congressional subcom
mittee, concerned that the Seaway might harm other
areas, concluded a glowing report in typical fashion:
"It is impossible for so large a segment of our
economy (the Great Lakes region) to receive benefits
without the good effects spreading to all United States
citizens and to every state."
