"BEAUTIFUL BIRCH FOR BEAUTIFUL WOODWORK" 



Briercliff Manor— on the Hudson. Home of W. W. ^ 

 Fuller, Esquire. Interior trim of "Beautiful birch.' 



Chief amon& the 

 llirCrl charms or a 

 charming home 



— this charming home — is its interior trim of "Beautiful 

 J>irctl — the Natural Trim for the American Home." 



Your home may easily and economically be made just 

 as charming by the use of jbifCtl, which, for trim, doors, 

 floors and furniture is of extraordinary beauty. And it is 

 not hi&h in price. 



tJircil, whether used solid or as veneer, is extremely 

 hard, and so, practically "mar-proof" — sanitary and adapt- 

 able to a great variety of finishes, including white enamel 

 — for which it is ideal. _ t 



A hard hardwood — which stands up to hard service with- 

 out showing any ill effects — 



birch &ives more for less. 



We want to send you some tangible proofs^ in the 

 shape of a set of little panels of" Beautiful birch," 

 showing^ different finishes. We'll send our book 

 about birch, too.

WHITING-ADAMS 

 Vulcan Rubber Cemented Brushes 



1st. The bristles and hair are highest grade, prepared 

 for use by the WHITING- ADAMS method, -which re- 

 tains toughness, elasticity and a velvet softness of ends. 

 This makes the part of a brush that is used, perfect in 

 quality and long 'wearing. 



2nd. Every bristle and hair isheldby pure, best quali- 

 ty Rubber; no fake, coal tar, chemical imitation of 

 rubber is used in our factory. "Kubber" means pure 

 rubber in all WHITING- ADAMS Vulcan Kub- 

 ber Cemented Brushes. The butts of bristles or hair 

 are completely saturated and surrounded with strictly 

 pure rubber in semi-liquid state, and then vulcanized 

 hard as granite. 



3rd. WHITING-ADAMS Brushes cost little and wear 

 long. Our large volume of business reduces cost of 

 manufacture to lowest point,and selling prices are made 

 near to cost. . 



4th. Manufacturing Brushes as we have for over 106 

 years, means that we know brushes, and users of our 

 brushes receive the full benefit of our brush knowledge.
