in wall-to-wall luxury
Now—They Can
A revolution is going on in the carpet industry. They call it "tufting"— a 12 to 15 times faster method of making wide carpet that brings wall-to-wall luxury within virtually everyone's reach. i « H
Much of the credit for the success — even for the very existence — of tufted carpet is laid t o t h e back-size. This heavy, flexible coating, applied to the backing, securely anchors the tufts and adds much to the body and dimensional stability of the carpet. Because of its ^ital roîe, the back-size used by more than one leading manufacturer i s based on C H E M I G U M LATEX. The reasons? Sizes made with C H E M I G U M LA^TEX are easy to compound, easy to apply. They exhibit excellent long-term aging, good pile or loop bind, resist washing or dry cleaning, do not become brittle or tacky and retain their light color. For much the s o m e reasons, C H E M I G U M LATEX is used in sizes f o r high-quality woven carpets and in sizes, binders and finishes for many other textile, paper and leather products.
