Economy Gained by
Use of Oak Floors
Considering value received,
oak qualifies as one of the
most economical of flooring
materials. With ordinary care
it lasts the life of the house,
requiring little or no repair.
Us gleaming brilliance can be
maintained at a minimum of
expense and relatively little
effort.
Even after years of neglect
and extremely heavy wear,
oak flooring can be sanded
and refinished to be like new.
The cost of such recondition
ing is moderate.

Trees Reduce Heat and Fuel
Costs While Increasing Shade
When the sun beats down
in the hot weather months,
everyone longs for cooling
shade. Shade trees provide the
difference between comfort
and solar broiling.
Trees, according to the
American Association of Nur
serymen are natural air-conditioners.
They transfer the
layer of greatest heat from
near the surface of the ground
to the tree tops. There may be
a difference of five to fifteen
degrees between a full-sun
and a shaded area, depending
on the density of the shade.
In residential areas, witli
good stands of trees, temp
eratures arc up to 10 degrees
lower than in areas without
trees in hot weather
There are many species of
trees. In order to get adequate
shade, one usually needs large
trees, which can be planted
at some distance from the
house and still shade it dur
ing the hottest part of the
day, usually in the afternoon.
Smaller trees of course give
shade but one needs more of

I them to achieve the same de
j gree of coolness as the larger
I trees. If the trees shade the
side of the home facing the
sun as it movers downward
in the western sky. even the
inside of the home will be
considerably cooler.
Trees Help
Where an cast bedroom is
stifling hot in the morning
for example, a tree planted on
the east can make all the dif
ference in comfort.
For comfort in garden liv
ing and entertainment shade
trees arc a necessity. Nursery
men will advise on trees that
are "clean" i.e. they do not
drop seeds, pods, flowers,
stems, etc., that tend to make
the garden living room messy.
Usually when most home
owners think of shade trees,
they think of the maples, lin
dens, planes, magnolias, elms,
and similar trees. There are
many other species, less well
known but which have inter
est for many reasons, such as
foliage color, bark color,
structure of limbs and twigs
or flowering beauty.
Cost Small
More than 850 different va
rieties of trees grow within
the United Stales. Most can
be planted at little cost. If
you arc willing to wait for
small tree to grow, you can
buy one for as little as $2.
Even one that gives immedi
ate shade may not cost more
than $25.
The planting of new trees
often pay for themselves with
in a few years by cutting the
costs of heating or cooling
your home.
Most trees will last as long
as your house, and as they
grow they increase in value.
Large trees in good condition,
properly placed on a lot. of
ten have a value of $1,000.
Income tax officials regard
the planting of trees as a
permanent improvement to
your property. Even if you
recover their costs many times
over in lowered fuel bills,
you can still deduct the price
you paid for them when you
sell your house at a profit.
Increase Value
Real Estate brokers agree
that by increasing the attrac
tiveness of your home, trees
will make it easier to sell at
a higher price than one that
stands on a barren lot.
The American Association
of Nurserymen say that ever-
