First Impressions Are Best 



The entrance to your home gives your caller the impression of dignity and hospitality when 

 its construction is honest and its design is in good taste. 



Morgan Doors 



make most Impressive entrances. Not only are they designed correctly according to the best ideas in doors, but they 

 are built honestly from the best grade of hard wood and by workmen who know how to make good doors. 



Morgan Doors are all stamped "Morgan" which is a guarantee — one we stand by — to replace any Morgan Door if 

 it fails to give satisfaction. They are guaranteed not to crack, warp, or shrink. 



Morgan Doors are made in all architectural styles, mission, chateau, empire, colonial, etc., and for inside or 

 outside use.

UdOZ*Shades 



TRADE MARK 



are made of ihin strips of Linden wood, closelv 

 bound with strong seine twine in a lockstitch 

 weave. They are artistic 

 ally stained in weather 

 proof colors to harmonize 

 with color scheme of 

 house. 



They keep out the sun, 

 but let in the breeze. 



Can be seen through from 

 the inside, but not from 

 the outside, giving pri- 

 vacy and seclusion. They 

 are inexpensive — average 

 equipment costing only 

 from $2 to $10 according 

 to size of porch. The 

 shades come in various 

 widths. 



Vudor Porch Shades last for 

 years and should not be con- 

 fused with the flimsy, careless- 

 ly-made bamboo or imported 

 screens which do not last and 

 always look cheap.
