Christmas Fire Screens

 hospitality like a cheery open fire. "BUFFALO" Fire 

 Screens make most acceptable and unusual Christmas 

 Gifts. 



"BUFFALO" FIRE FENDERS, SPARK GUARDS 

 and FIRE PLACE SCREENS are unusually dist.no 

 tive in appearance. Their good and correct designs, 

 their well placed ornamentation, and their attractive 

 finish lend charm to the most perfectly appointed resi' 

 dence. They insure perfect safety from flying sparks 

 and absolute protection to children and older members 

 of the household. 



"BUFFALO" FIRE FENDEKS, SPARK GUARDS 

 and FIRE PLACE SCREENS cannot be compared 

 with flimsy, cheap ones. They are strong and dura- 

 ble, and made by the most skillful workmen from the 

 best " BUFFALO" quality of fine mesh wire cloth. 

 We make them to fit any size fire place opening and 

 in any desired ornamentation or finish.
