MEDART

CATALOOL

The Recognized Textbook on Playground

Planning.. This 128-Page Medart Catalog is recognized everywhere as a textbook on Playground Planning and Installations. It shows in detail just what apparatus is best suited for boys, for girls and for smaller children. It shows ideal playground layouts, where cost is secondary to service and it shows, too, what combinations are most desirable for smaller communities centers where only a limited appropriation is available.

or

And, of course, it points out con-
vincingly just why you should al-
ways specify Medart Playground
Equipment.
Add this elaborate book to your
library-it is an actual help to any.
one interested in Playgrounds and
Flayground Planning. Sent prompt-
ly on request.
