Aerolux Porch Shades
Convert a Veranda Into a "aBtO
Delightful Private Room
Equip vour veranda with Aerolux Shades and i'' :
it insures solid comfort for* the entire summer. .
Gives you an ideal “out-door-den." or sleeping
poj-ch. Perfectly prix ate. delightfully cool and de
cidedly attractive. ILiL'.nL7?~ii
Some Reasons Why Aerolux Shades Are Superior to
Others
It is the,only shade having an adjustable reinforcing attachment to prevent whipping in the
wind. Each shade is equipped with guys which hold the shade taut when lowered.
Shades can be pushed up two to four feet and held without loosening the guys. Not neces
sary to roll up when leaving the porch, or at night. This attachment is not, found on any other
Porch Shade.
Heavy moulding top and bottom in place of thin strips. Look much better, at the same
time arc much stronger.
Compared to canvas curtains the Aerolux Shades keep out the sun effectively, a very essen
tial feature in a Porch Shade. The Bamboo or German do not.
Aerolux Shades admit the air. Canvas curtains do not. Half the good of a porch shade is
lost if the air is excluded.
The colors, too. are a special attraetibn: Pretty, light brown, dark olive and Persian gray.
The stains used in coloring these shades are made from a special formula and are the nearest
weatherproof of any procurable.

their many superior features.
