  Hand-Made 
  Furniture 
  

  

  Antique 
  Furniture 
  has 
  been 
  sold 
  at 
  what 
  seems 
  fabulous 
  prices; 
  

   it 
  is 
  not 
  always 
  possible 
  to 
  verify 
  the 
  fact 
  as 
  to 
  its 
  genuineness. 
  

  

  In 
  addition 
  to 
  our 
  line 
  of 
  Arts 
  and 
  Crafts 
  we 
  are 
  fully 
  

   equipped 
  to 
  manufacture 
  Hand-Made 
  Furniture 
  of 
  the 
  highest 
  

   grade, 
  perfect 
  reproductions 
  of 
  well-known 
  antiques 
  or 
  made 
  to 
  

   special 
  design 
  in 
  any 
  woods. 
  

  

  We 
  have 
  made 
  a 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  wood-finishes 
  and 
  

   treatments, 
  our 
  "Jin 
  di 
  Sugi" 
  finish 
  is 
  unlike 
  any 
  other 
  wood- 
  

   finish; 
  it 
  has 
  all 
  the 
  beauties 
  of 
  the 
  Japanese 
  "Cryptomeria" 
  

   and 
  is 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  years 
  of 
  experiment 
  and 
  study. 
  

  

  We 
  are 
  the 
  only 
  manufacturers 
  of 
  this 
  Special 
  Wood 
  

   Treatment. 
  Let 
  us 
  send 
  you 
  our 
  brochure, 
  giving 
  a 
  glimpse 
  of 
  

   our 
  establishment,

  Let 
  us 
  give 
  you 
  our 
  34 
  

   years' 
  experience 
  and 
  skill 
  in 
  planning 
  the 
  

   eating 
  of 
  your 
  home 
  or

  buildings, 
  

   want 
  the 
  maximum 
  of 
  heat 
  with 
  minimum 
  fuel 
  con- 
  

   on. 
  That 
  requires 
  expert 
  knowledge 
  in 
  planning. 
  

   Don't 
  expect 
  hardware 
  dealers 
  to 
  give 
  it 
  to 
  you. 
  They 
  handle 
  

   too 
  many 
  lines. 
  They 
  simply 
  CAN'T 
  be 
  well 
  posted 
  on 
  everything. 
  

   We 
  are 
  experts 
  on 
  these 
  matters. 
  Manufacturing 
  heating 
  systems 
  is 
  

   the 
  whole 
  of 
  our 
  business. 
  Twelve 
  months 
  every 
  year 
  we 
  are 
  en- 
  

   gaged 
  in 
  designing 
  and 
  making 
  heating 
  systems 
  and 
  apparatus, 
  and 
  

   nothing 
  else. 
  The 
  plans 
  we 
  will 
  submit 
  to 
  you 
  are 
  free, 
  and 
  include 
  

   the 
  arrangement 
  of 
  all 
  details 
  — 
  blue-prints 
  drawn 
  to 
  scale, 
  furnace 
  of 
  

   proper 
  size, 
  estimate 
  of 
  cost, 
  guarantee, 
  etc. 
  

  

  We 
  absolutely 
  guarantee 
  the 
  Hess 
  Heating 
  

   System 
  to 
  heat 
  comfortably 
  in 
  the 
  coldest 
  

   weather 
  any 
  

  

  HOUSE-STORE-CHURCH

  paid 
  both
