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.
