THE BARRE DAILY TIMES, BARRE, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1916. 5 TALK OF THE TOWN Vudor Porch Shades VUDOR VUDOR Cord Slides with them VUDOR orcing Warps cord lasts twice as long as it does with Re-enforcing Warps pulleys Reenforced PORCH SHADES Equipped with Vudor Safety Wind Device Vudor Porch Shades Are Indelibly Stained in Pleasing Shades Olive, Dark Green, Dark Brown, Mottled Olive Green, Dark Brown Alternated with Tan, Dark Brown Alternated with Mottled Olive Green. The colors harmonize with the color scheme of your house and will withstand the action of the weather. Vudor Porch Shades retain their newness for many seasons. Vudor Shades are never painted nor dipped.

Painted shades are objectionable, as they make a porch very hot. The painted surface absorbs the heat, instead of repelling it. The stained surface of Vudors does not reflect the sun's rays and keeps the porch shady and cool when outside it is "sizzlingly" hot. All Vudor Porch Shades are re-enforced at both edges and the wider shades in the center with double warps. This enormously increases their durability.

All Vudor Porch Shades have a full drop of eight feet when in use. Other advertised shades are six inches shorter. B. W. Hooker Co.
