About Plastering 



The average person knows but little of this very im- 

 portant item in the construction of houses, flats, etc., yet 

 more trouble comes from poor plastering- than from any other one 

 thing connected with building. 



CliiTiEix Wood Mortar 



We want to send you our free booklet explaining what Climax 

 Wood Mortar is and how much better and safer it is than lime and 

 sand. 



You can have plastered walls and ceilings that will not crack, crumble 

 and fall down, and be in need of constant repairs so commonly experienced 

 with the old-fashioned lime plastered houses.

 — and it's a question if any other furniture 

 furnishes as richly or attracti\ely. If you don t 

 know CREX be sure to have it shown you. 



It is the very newest and most serviceable of 

 high-class furniture.

' There is no feature so essential to the 

 finish of the room as the MANTEL, an 

 architectural fitting that is furniture as well 



Wood Mantels 



— made of the same material as the 

 trim — harmonize perfectly with the 

 decorations. In the Colonial parlor, 

 a mantel — such as the one here 

 shown — absolutely correct in style 

 and perfect in every detail — gives 

 character and dignity to the room. 

 For every architectural style — for 

 every apartment — you can get an 

 appropriate wood mantel. In price, 

 as well as in the kind of wood, 

 your wants can be exactly suited. 



"Why Wood Mantels?" 



a beautifully illustrated booklet, showing many at- 

 tractive mantels, will be sent to any one thinking of 

 building, decorating or remodeling, if you address
