Character 

 In Doors 



The doors of your house should be 

 chosen for their character and should be 

 in harmony with the architedural motif 

 They should so combine good design 

 with good construftion as to become 

 an integral and permanent part of the 

 building. 



Morgan Doors 



meet these specifications as no other doors do, be- 

 cause they are produced under a perfe6l system of 

 manufad:ure, and by artists and artisans whose sole 

 aim has been to identify the name of "Morgan" 

 with all that is best in door design and constru6tion. 



The produ6ls of the Morgan shops, as a conse- 

 quence, not only prove their superiority to the 

 discriminating eye, but are sold underr. 

 an agreement that is an unconditional 

 guarantee of satisfactory service. They 

 cost no more than other doors.
