Rugs and floorcovering

Information about floorcoverings is difficult to unearth. Your laudable ambition to be an "intelligent consumer" may have been thwarted because you couldn't find a simple, comprehen­sive, nontechnical publication about rugs and carpets.

This book is for the homemaker, the salesman, the student. It is written from my feminine viewpoint as a homemaker and housekeeper, but it rests solidly on the twenty-five years of re­search, knowledge and experience which is my husband's.

Its primary purpose is to help you to know something about the fabrics you use on your floors and to buy them wisely. No attempt has been made to be too highly technical, either about their construction or their design, but we believe the complete picture, both past and present, is here.
