Linoleum Floors

Many years ago American pioneers had log cabins to live in The floors were dirt.
When sawn wood came along, floors were made of rough sawn boards. Great improvement. Later the boards were sanded (prevented a lot of splinters in your foot)......better yet. Then came linoleum.........wow, what a break through! The blue portion of the photo is representative of some of the first linoleum flooring). Here was a product that was hard, tough, took a lot of foot traffic, and for the first time.......didn't look like wood. You could get linoleum with flowers on it; design patterns on it; or a mural on it! Man that was living! The flooring revolution was on, and hasn't stopped yet.
