Vudor Porch Shades are made of thin, flat strips of Linden Wood Fibre, closely bound by strong Seine Twine, in a lock-stitch weave. Another good feature about them is the peculiar fact that those sitting on the porch can see out, but pass- ersby can not see in. In other words, you have complete privacy, and can use the porch or veranda (he same as an inside room, with infinitely more comfort on hot days. Vudor Porch Shades should not be confused with ordinary porch screens—canvas curtains or bamboo shades, for instance. Canvas curtains shut out the sun, it is true, but as they likewise completely prevent the circulation of air, the porch becomes an oven. It is like sitting in a tent with the sun beating down upon it. They also spoil the neat appearance of a porch. Bamboo screens afford practically no protection. On account of the narrow, irregular strips used, and the . thick cords employed to hold them together, the sun’s rays find easy entrance through the cracks. This defect also permits people on the outside to .gaze in, and there is no privacy behind a screen'of this character. Bamboo Screens usually turn black in a few weeks. In an effort to prevent this, they are sometimes paint ed with a thick, cheap paint, which is anything but at tractive, and they, one and all, quickly present an ir regular, ragged appearance at both ends. The only really staisfactory shades are the Vudor, which throw the porch into cool, mellow shadow, with out making it too dark for practical use, and still exclud ing the sun’s scorching beams, at the same tunc permit ting perfect circulation of the summer breeze.
