VENETIAN AWNINGS AND BLINDS 
Insure maximum Summer coolness; 
are quickly and easily adjusted to meet 
every desire for light and shade and 
air; permanently attractive and far su¬ 
perior to the old-fashioned fabric awn¬ 
ings and shades which fray and fade in 
rain and sun, flop in the wind, collect 
dust, prevent free circulation of air, 
have no control over light, and do not 
keep out the heat. 
Ask your Architect. Wilson Venetian 
Awnings and Blinds have been specified for 
the most notable homes of the country for 
more than 40 years. 
A porch or piazza equipped with Wilson Venetian Blinds may he 
converted into an ideal sleeping room at night.
