T7EW people have ever realized the unequalled beauty of richly finished 

 -^ fir, but they are just beginning to get their eyes opened. 



In doors, Fir offers all the advantages of oak, mahogany or walnut. You 

 can only tell them from these woods by the grain. When finished they 

 look as much alike as two peas in a pod — if they are 



Chehalis Fir Doors 



Chehalis Fir Doors add to the natural advantages of fir certain features that make Chehalis Fir 

 Doors the best built doors in the world — and the easiest for you to buy. 



Built with vertical grain stiles and rails, and slash grain panels. The only door in which all 

 five panels are selected for similarity of grain. It all means Beauty, Uniformity, Durability. 



As they cost less and are otherwise so desirable you should be sure 

 and tell your architect to specify Chehalis Fir Doors.

An Inexpensive Garage 



^ 



CORNELL PORTABLE GARAGE 

 COMPLETE COST, $280 



This attractive garage is one of the handsomest automobile houses located in 

 one of New York City's residential districts. Its pleasing appearance, however, is 

 not the most interesting feature of this garage. The low cost of the building com- 

 mends it to all, the garage costing only one-half the estimates of local builders. 



The owner of this handsome garage was not satisfied with the high prices of 

 contractors in his vicinity, so took the matter up with the Wyckoff Lumber & Mfg. 

 Co , Ithaca, N. Y., who make portable buildings of all kinds, and found that he 

 could have a Cornell Portable Garage of any size or style shipped to him at once 

 and have it erected complete in a day for a figure way under the estimates of the 

 local contractors. 



This garage was shipped in .sections for easy handling, was put together simply 

 by bolting the sections together, an exceedingly quick operation. Everything 

 fitted and the lumber, hardware and painting gave excellent satisfaction.
