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

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

 the highest degree.

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

 guarantee of quality, style, durability and satisfaction.

EXTRACT FROM PREFACE 



'TpHE author has endeavored to include 

 1 characteristic designs in vogue to- 

 dav, and to give reliable information 

 as to trie 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 life. 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.
