When we furnish and decorate your room in the 

 quaint, stately old time way, the net results are : 



POETRY — (It is a room treated up to an ideal.) 



ART — (It is a room done after the style of one of 

 the masters.) 



REFINEMENT — (It will not be seen in the nickel- 

 plush hotel.) 



EXCLUSIVENESS-(lt is for the elect.) 



SENTIMENT— (It is home — not the decorator's 

 show-room.) 



UTILITY — (Each thing in it has a well defined 

 purpose.) 



SERVICEABILITY— (The furnishings are wrought 

 in the sturdy old time hand-made way.) 



ASSET — (It is not subject to change of style.) 



A Drawing-room of the Hepplewhite Period.

Very well, then send along your plans and 

 requirements, or rough sketch, and you will see 

 what the infinite capacity for taking pains, on our part, will do, when we send you suggestions, color schemes and 

 pictures of the furniture in which you were interested. Also write for booklets.

THERE IS A 

 CHARM ABOUT 



Hand-Made Furniture 



Antique Furniture has been sold at what seems fabulous prices; 

 it is not always possible to verify the fact as to its genuineness. 



In addition to our line of Arts and Crafts we are fully 

 equipped to manufacture Hand-Made Furniture of the highest 

 grade, perfect reproductions of well-known antiques or made to 

 special design in any woods. 



We have made a study of the various wood-finishes and 

 treatments, our "Jin di Sugi" finish is unlike any other wood- 

 finish; it has all the beauties of the Japanese "Cryptomeria" 

 and is the result of years of experiment and study. 



We are the on/y manufacturers of this Special Wood 

 Treatment. Let us send you our brochure, giving a glimpse of 

 our establishment, etc. 



"JIN DI SUGI" FURNITURE is especially adapted for 

 Summer Homes, Dens, Smoking Rooms, etc.

Let us give you our 34 

 years' experience and skill in pla 

 heating of your home or other buildings. 

 You want the maximum of heat with minimum fuel con- 

 sumption. That requires expert knowledge in planning. 

 Don't expect hardware dealers to give it to you. They handle 

 too many lines. They simply CAN'T be well posted on everything. 

 We are experts on these matters. Manufacturing heating systems is 

 the whole of our business. Twelve months every year we are en- 

 gaged in designing and making heating systems and apparatus, and 

 nothing else. The plans we will submit to you are free, and include 

 the arrangement of all details — blue-prints drawn to scale, furnace of 

 proper size, estimate of cost, guarantee, etc. 



We absolutely guarantee the Hess Heating 

 System to heat comfortably in the coldest 

 weather any 



HOUSE-STORE-CHURCH 



or other building, or money refunded and 

 freight paid both ways. 



If you are going to build, write us. We 

 know we can suggest matters that will 

 keep you from making fatal mistakes. 



Remember we are the MAKERS. 

 Our responsibility is direct to you and 



WE SELL DIRECT FROM FACTORY 



with manufacturer's profit only added to 

 the cost. You save from !?25 to $100 

 \vhich usually goes into the pockets of 

 dealers, agents and contractors. 



Our free booklet, "Modern Furnace Heating." is a com- 

 plete giii.le to heating witli ANY furnace. Write for a copy.
