 Plant fnf/iG World : 



Nature's Art 



"I tliink tiiat 1 shall iie^tr >»e 

 A iMiein i(^\ely as a tree." 



— By Jnvti: Kilmer, 

 young American poet who gave his life in Flanders. 



CONSIDER the sheer beauty of 

 Willey's rare veneers. Tracery 

 as deUcate as frostwork on a win- 

 dow pane, designs as intricately 

 graceful as a Moorish arabesque, 

 can be found hidden in the heart 

 of a tree. 



Engraved by the slow-fingered 

 years, each pattern unique as a fin- 

 ger-print of Father Time himself, 

 these treasures of the woods have 

 been gathered from far and near. 



Willey's Veneer Plant has the largest 

 existing collection of these natural art 

 treasures from the world's forests. The 

 inherent beauty of each specimen is re- 

 vealed and enhanced in the highest de- 

 gree by the work of our skilled artisans. 



Willey's Veneers enrich the interiors of 

 countless superb buildings, elegant apart- 

 ments, and cozy homes. The polished and 

 paneled background of civilization, from 

 the Middle Ages until the present time, 

 has been wrought from the heart of a tree. 



Endless variety from which to choose 

 the grain and texture best fitted for your 

 special use, expert preparation and speedy 

 delivery to supply your special need — 

 these are features of Willey's service, 

 which we will gladly place at your 

 disposal.
