Building Costs Cut by Omitting Wood Flooring
Br DOROTHEA M. BROOKS
New York-flJPli- Looking for
cost-cutting tricks in home
building? You might consider
omitting the flooring.
There seems to be a grow
ing trend in this direction,
according to Allen Frischer,
president of Frischer Carpels
Inc., New York, one of the
country's largest carpeting
firms.
It used to be, he said, that
home owners and apartment
dwellers had to decide wheth
er or not they wanted to car
pet, decorate with area rungs
or leave floor completely ex
posed. Now, however, the
choice often is boiling down to
whether or not a family wants
carpeting or flooring.
The practice of eliminating
wood flooring entirely and
simply installing carpeting or

hard surface covering over the
sub-flooring began with cost
conscious apartment builders
and has spread to the ranks of
home owners.
...Adopted Trick
The large scale home devel
oper picked up the practice
for his model homes where,
since carpeting was necessary
as a decorative feature, it
seemed foolish to bother in
stalling expensive wood floor
ing that would never be seen.
The do-it-yourself home build
ers also adopted the cost-cutting
trick which saves both
money and the time required
to install flooring.
"Whether or not carpeting
is installed directly over the
sub-flooring or over wood
floors, Frischer emphasizes,
"There are a number of im
portant considerations that
should be taken into account
when contemplating the floor j
I treatment of a home."
1 Frischer emphasize the clec
! orative value of carpel to a
room setting, since it contrib
: ules both color and texture.
Important also, is the sound
, deadening qualities of carpet
j ing. The soft pile of carpet ab
j sorbs not only the clatter of
feet on wood but, in homes of
more than one story, will min
imize overhead noises and pro-
vide an added measure of
; sound insulation.
I Gains Favor
Frischer maintains, too. that
i carpeting has been gaining
favor in recent years because
of its low maintenance re
i quiremenls. which generally
amount to regular vacuuming
and infrequent cleaning.
He stressed the importance
of choosing the right floor
covering for a particular use,
noting that, since certain areas
of a home are likely to have
heavier traffic than others, it
is a wise idea to vary the
grade of carpet to suit the
room. It is possible to do this
without resorting to different
pattern or color since the
same carpeting often comes in
a variety of grades and thick
ness, Frischer said.
He pointed out that carpet
ing is not an all-purpose floor
covering and there are certain
living areas where use of
another material is preterable;
in playrooms, for instance,
where it usually is advisable
to use some sort of tile. Bath
rooms and kitchens, too, tra
ditionally lend themselves to
iiling.
For the family that likes the
appearance of wood flooring
with area rugs for accent, he
suggests as a less expensive
substitute a vinyl or linoleum
tloor covering that simulates
wood and is more easily maintained.

When he fell in his bedroom
i and broke his thigh while on
a Riviera holiday last June
there were few who would
have wagered he would reach
his 88th birthday. He was
flown home amid what almost
amounted to worldwide
mourning and went into hos
pital. For days each succeed
ing medical bulletin was
awaited with anxiety.
But the days went on. The
old man began silting up.
Then came the day he went
home in a wheelchair - with a
defiant "V" sign for those who
had doubled.
Soon Walking
Soon he was walking
around the ground floor of his
London home. With difficulty
and with the aid of a sloul
cane. Bui walking.
And one day earlier this
month he went out to dinner
with his friends of "The Oth
er Club." at the Savoy hotel.
He ate and drank everything
on the menu. He smoked his

The nickel's nice-the bacon's even better
This bacon slab is, selected. That mean we limk hundreds of them over for lean
ness and firmness and tenderness. Only one out of three is riyht for Armour Star.
Then we cut off both ends-where the streaks of lean start to thin out an.l
get skimpy. Not good enough for Armour Star.
And what's left in the middle of the slab ... the wide, long slices with the
broad strips of good lean meat ... and enough fat to fry up crisp . . . that's the
only part that is good enough to go into this package.
