New Floor Care Ends Waxing
s One of the difficult jobs of
housekeeping is to wax lin-
/ oleum and asphalt tile floors
Now, thanks to Glazo, it's no
longer necessary to wax and
scrub; just apply Glaxo about
twice a year It maintains a
high lustre, non slip coating
that seals out dirt. Glaxo dries
in one hour and is water clear
It's cheaper than wax in the
long run, besides saving a ter
rific amount of work, plus truly
a beautiful floor.
