MANTELS 



That Wear IVell 



When you buy so important a thing as 

 a mantel, avoid that which is freakish, 

 too unusual and of which you will tire. 

 Remember that you will see your mantel 

 every day for years — get one that will 

 ivear we/I on your mind — one that has 

 some meaning to it and in which you 

 can see a constant beauty. 

 HARTFORD mantels wear well— the 

 more you see them the better you like them. Our Catalogue M shows 

 many good examples — write for it.

Colonial Houses 



FOR MODERN HOMES 



A collection of designs of Houses with Colonial 

 (Georgian^ details but arranged with modern com- 

 forts and with the completeness of the twentieth 

 century. 



Written and Illustrated by 

 E. S. CHILD, Architect 



They show large, correctly drawn perspectives, 

 full floor plans, and complete descriptions, with 

 estimates of cost. The designs are new, original, 

 unique, consistent, but not stiff nor constrained. 

 Made, not by an artist, but by an architect. They 

 combine beauty of exterior with complete and 

 convenient interiors, with Kitchens, Laundries, 

 Pantries and Closets carefully and skilfully con- 

 sidered.
