AN UNUSUAL HALL 
W OODWORK and its treatment as illustrated 
in the attractive house from which the 
above photograph is taken is shown to be 
the most important feature in its decoration. Here 
Mahogany stain in combination with Ivory has 
been used, and although this room is not Colonial, 
the effect is most attractive. The walls are tinted 
in a clear yellow tan, making an excellent back¬ 
ground for the richly colored hangings and fur¬ 
nishings used. The hand-rail, treads and floors 
have been stained with Mahogany Wood Tint, the 
hand-rail finished with a rubbed varnish. The 
floor has received one coat of Chicago Varnish 
Company’s No. 312 Mahogany Stain, followed by 
two coats of Supremis and one coat of Florsatin. 
Where a Mahogany Stain is used the three coats 
of finish are advised. The beams in this room are 
also treated with the Mahogany Stain and finished 
with Dead-Lac. The mantel is a combination of 
brick and tile, the brick showing a decidedly ma¬ 
hogany tone that harmonizes perfectly with the 
woodwork. The Oriental rug also shows several 
shades of mahogany, toning to dull old pink. The 
draperies are carefully chosen, as is the upholster¬ 
ing of the furniture in the room, this latter being 
of dull green velour. 
An equally effective treatment for this room 
would be to stain all woodwork with Chicago 
Varnish Company’s Weathered Oak Wood Tint, 
followed by one coat of No. 20 Surfacer and one 
of Dead-Lac, the floors to be treated with a dark 
brown stain, followed by one coat of Supremis 
and one of Florsatin. With the woodwork so 
treated the dull red of the mantel would be at¬ 
tractive. The walls should be tinted a good shade 
of medium areen. The ceiling between the beams 
to be a cream which is almost ecru. Rugs and 
draperies might be of the same coloring as pre¬ 
viously described. The wood used here is White 
Wood. This is an inexpensive wood, but takes 
the stain excellently and shows a beautiful grain. 
If you are contemplating building or remodel¬ 
ing, write to Margaret Greenleaf, Consulting Dec¬ 
orator of the Chicago Varnish Company, 32 Vesey

prepared by Margaret Greenleaf for Chicago Var¬ 
nish Company. 
Get What You 
Ask For 
There are many reasons 
why you ask for adver¬ 
tised articles, but abso¬ 
lutely none why you 
should let a substituting 
dealer palm off some¬ 
thing which he claims 
to be “just as good” or 
“better” or “the same 
thing” as the article you 
requested. 
The advertised article 
must, of necessity, be of 
the highest quality, 
otherwise it could not 
he successfully sold and 
the advertising contin¬ 
ued. 
The buying public rec¬ 
ognizes the superior 
quality of advertised 
articles. The substitu- 
tor realizes that fact and 
tries to sell inferior goods 
on the advertiser’s repu¬ 
tation.
