BULLETIN
A major breakthrough
in no-wax floors...
SOLARIAINI*
by (^m strong
Armstrong has never promised you a
no-wax floor. . . until now. Solarian is a
floor that really does shine without wax.
Its exclusive Mirabond'wear surface has
a gleaming shine of its own. And it keeps
its high gloss and beautiful colors—without
waxing—far longer than an ordinary
vinyl floor. Spills, dirt, even black heel
marks come up easily, ending the drudgery
of scrubbing and waxing. Come in and see
the no-wax floor that keeps its promise.
