Substantial Refinement 



Is reflected from every room where Morgan Doors are used. Their dignified designs 

 harmonize with interior wood-work, decoration, and furnishings and their solid, honest con- 

 struction gives the interior a sense of balance and permanence besides increasing the real 

 value of the property. 



Morgan Doors 



are the most perfect doors manufactured. They are made of several layers with the grain 

 running crosswise making shrinking, warping, or swelling impossible. They are veneered in 

 all varieties of hard-wood, birch, plain or quarter-sawed red or white oak, and brown ash, 

 mahogany, etc., and the delicate grain and coloring of each particular wood is brought out to 

 the highest degree. 



Morgan Doors are correctly designed by experts in all styles of architecture — Colonial, 

 Empire, Mission, etc., and each Morgan Door is stamped with the name * 'Morgan" as a 

 guarantee of quality, style, durability and satisfaction. 



Write today for our handsome illustrated hook " The Door Beautiful" which shows you more of the 

 detailed beauty of'MoriJan Doors and why they are the only doors you should use in your building.

A Practical Handbook 



for Decorators, Paperhangers, Archi- 

 tects, Builders and House Owners, 

 with many half-tone and other illus- 

 trations showing the latest designs 



By ARTHUR SEYMOUR JENNINGS 



EXTRACT FROM PREFACE 



THE author has endeavored to include 

 characteristic designs in vogue to- 

 day, and to give reliable information 

 as to the choice of wall papers as well as 

 to describe the practical methods of ap- 

 plying them. In dealing with matters 

 concerning decoration there is always the 

 danger of leaning too much toward an 

 ideal and of overlooking the practical re- 

 quirements of commercial lite. The au- 

 thor hopes that he has been successful in 

 avoiding this fault, and that his book will 

 be regarded as both practical and useful.
