GRANDMOTHER'S PARLOUR YOUR grandmother's drawing-room spent nearly half its peaceful history under loose sheets and behind drawn blinds. Your grandmother feared the sun for her curtains and her coverings as much as she feared the rain for her best bonnet. The sun did as much harm in the drawing-room as mice in the larder or frost in the water-pipes. There's no more need to fear the sun. Let it in. Filter it through Sundour curtains. Make it welcome—broad and burning shafts of it—on to Sundour coverings. No Sundour fabric ever fades. They are unreservedly guaranteed to stand any punishment from the sun or that other round and beaming person, the washerwoman. Sun-fast! Wash-fast! For ever! SUNDOUR FABRICS include Casement Cloths, Cretonnes, Tapestries, Chenilles, Reps, Madras Muslins, Damasks, and Washable Rugs. ALL UNFADABLE. Sundour UNFADABLE FABRICS From a shilling or so to several guincas the yard; of Drapers and Furnishers everywhere MORTON SUNDOR FABRICS LTD., CARLISLE AD. I
