LOF Guide on 'Plenty of Glass In Our New Home'

    There are definite reasons why you bought the make of car you drive in preference to competitive models. There are equally definite reasons why you will select one heating plant rather than another for your home; one type of radio; one kitchen stove or refrigerator. You made your choice, or will make it, after careful consideration of the various, though essentially similar, products offered by a number of manufacturers.

    Do the same with glass. Don't take it for granted. Talk to your architect about it or to any L-O-F glass jobber. Very little effort will give you rather more than the average layman's knowledge and put you in a position to decide with a real degree of authority on one of the most Important building materials and decorative media that will be used in your new home.

    The case for Libbey-Owens-Ford may he presented very briefly, though none the less conclusively. All window glass made by this company is manufactured by an exclusive flat drawing process in which the glass sheet is drawn directly from the molten state. In general, the advantages of the L-0-F product are a lasting brilliance of finish, uniform quality and thickness and a surface considerably flatter than that of ordinary window glass.

    It is so free from wave that you get a clearer, sharper image when you look through it. L-O-F Polished Plate Glass is distinguished by the same superior standards that elevate L-O-F Quality Window Glass above the average excellence.
