FROM your viewpoint, the value of the 

 WILLEY plant lies not alone in the 

 quantity and quality of Veneer at your 

 disposal, through the great variety and 

 rarity of these treasures of the world's 

 forests which we possess, but also, and es- 

 pecially, in the trained judgment and 

 thoughtful consideration with which we 

 select the most perfect specimens for your 

 peculiar purpose. 



A vast stock, and a world-wide organi- 

 zation constantly replenishing it, enable 

 us to fill your orders with gratifying 

 promptness.

Living Marble 



THE resemblance between 

 the grain of beautiful ve- 

 neer and the veining in beauti- 

 ful marble lies deeper than a 

 mere chance arrangement of 

 lines. The slow, orderly de- 

 posit of matter by blind forces 

 of nature, in response to un- 

 changing law, produced them 

 both. 



But marble is lifeless — while 

 wood is a product of life- 

 forces, an unfolding of pro- 

 toplasm, a growth from within. 

 Therefore we choose elegantly 

 veined marble for a monument 

 or a tomb, but enrich and 

 soften the dwellings of living 

 people with the gracious pen- 

 ciled lines of forest growth, 

 made visible and enduring as 

 Veneer. 



For the selection of figures and 

 wood best fitted for the particu- 

 lar work you have in hand, the 

 WILLEY plant affords unexcelled 

 opportunities. Ask us for samples^
