Colonial 

 Designs 



' N the selection 

 of hardware 

 trimmings for 

 a Colonial 

 house, harmony 

 should prevail be- 

 tween hardware 

 design and archi- 

 tectural style. The 

 new- old-fashioned 

 knocker and door-latch here 

 illustrated are splendid examples of the 

 appropriateness and unusual excellence of 



Sargent's

Hardware 



for homes of the Colonial type. 

 The latch and cylinder lock 

 also show how modern secur- 

 ity and convenience can be 

 combined with old-fashioned 

 appearance.

 Colonial patterns, Sargent s 

 Hardware is made in designs 

 to harmonize with all periods 

 and schools of architecture —

Everyday Magic 



Aladdin's lamp transported its owner 

 from place to place in the twinkling of 

 an eye. 



That was thousands of years ago — 

 and the lamp was only a myth. But so 

 wonderful that the story has endured to 

 this day. 



The Bell telephone is far more won- 

 derful — and it is a reality. 



It is the dream of the ages, come 

 true. In the office, in the home, it stands ; 

 as commonplace in appearance as Alad- 

 din's lamp. 



By it the human voice — the truest ex- 

 pression of personality, ability, and char- 



acter — is carried from place to place in- 

 stantly and accurately. And human 

 powers are thus extended as if by magic. 



All other means of communication 

 are cold and colorless in comparison. 

 By the telephone alone is the human 

 quality of the human voice carried beyond 

 the limitations of unaided hearing. 



The Bell System has provided this 

 wonderful faculty for all the people. 



The whole country is brought together 

 by the Bell policy of universal service ; 

 and the miracle of telephone talk is 

 repeated six billion times a year. 



The Bell Long Distance telephone puts a nian in inti- 

 mate tottch with new resources, new possibitities. One 

 Policy, One System, Universal Service — these make 

 every Bell Telephone the Center of the System.
