Look Into 
The Door 
Did you ever stop to think just why 
some doors stick, warp, shrink, open at the 
joints and are always causing trouble? You 
would not buy a watch without looking at 
the works. The works of a door are just as 
important to its performance as the works 
of a watch. 
Morgan Doors 
are beautiful and durable—they are con- 
structed so that they will never warp, twist, 
{ open at the joints, stick or cause 
any door trouble—they are not 
heavy or unwieldly—they are 
beautiful on the outside and have 
duraility built into them. 
Look at the works of a Morgan Door—the illustration shown is 
a cross section of a one and three-quarters inch door, flush molded, 
two sides with one-half inch, five-ply panel. Note the several layers 
with the grain running cross-wise—these layers after all moisture 
has been eliminated are glued together with the very best veneer 
glue under powerful hydraulic pressure. This makes shrinking, 
warping or swelling impossible. 
Morgan Doors are light, remarkably strong, absolutely perfect in 
construction and express substantial refinement in every line. They 
are veneered in all varieties of hard wood, birch, plain or quarter 
sawed red or white oak, brown ash, mahogany, etc. 
Each Morgan Door is stamped “MORGAN” as a guarantee of 
quality, style, durability and satisfaction. In our new book “ The 
Door Beautiful” we show Morgan Doors in their natural color and 
tell you why they are the best and cheapest doors for permanent 
satisfaction in any kind of building.
