How to Identify Real 
Four things to remember in buying real 
walnut furniture: 
1. Ask if it is real walnut—if all exposed 
surfaces are real walnut. 
2. Walnut has characteristic pores which 
appear on the surface as fine pen lines, 
dots or dashes, easily visible to the naked 
eye. Substitute woods don’t show these 
lines, dots or dashes distinctly. 
3. Make sure that legs, rails and mould¬ 
ings are of the same wood as tops, fronts 
and sides—real walnut. 
4. Furniture made principally of various 
other woods, but having its larger, exposed 
surfaces covered with real walnut veneer, 
is commonly called “Combination walnut." 
While such furniture is, of course, better 
and stronger than if it contained no wal¬ 
nut, it is not real walnut furniture and 
should not be sold as such. 
The Charm of Natural 
Walnut 
F INISHED in its natural color, 
American Walnut always gives 
the effect of great limpid depth of sur¬ 
face which is the delight of the con¬ 
noisseur. 
Modern pieces must be light and compact, as 
well as durable. And American Walnut com¬ 
bines these qualities with a variable grain and 
figure that give a truly individual beauty to 
every piece. 
The most beautiful furniture of every age has 
always been made of walnut. It is the 
supreme cabinet wood of the ages—and today.

Are you ashamed 
of your back porch ? 
Garbage is not only an embarrassing nuisance, 
but a distinct menace to health. 
Unwelcome—and yet no place to go. That 
is the plight of the garbage. How it heaps up! 
Always accumulating and making you 
ashamed of the back porch. The clouds of 
flies, the bad odors, disease germs, yowling 
cats that come at night, all can be traced to 
the influence of the garbage pail. 
The truth is that we have been putting up 
with make-shift methods of garbage disposal. 
You can’t throw it in the furnace lest the 
grates clog up and the house be filled with 
foul odors. Strangers must be permitted to 
prowl about the place if it is to be hauled 
away—a none too safe idea. How simple is 
the army method in comparison as embodied 
in the Ranz Garbage Destroyer! 
A Ranz Garbage Destroyer slips into old or 
new buildings (or outdoors) as easily as a 
stove, and costs less than one. 
Dump all wet or dry garbage, old papers, trash, 
tin cans, bottles—in fact everything—into it. A 
steady draft of air dries out the garbage and carries 
away all odor. Touch a match once a week and the 
job is done. Everything is reduced to ashes or steril¬ 
ized. Every inch of your place is kept sanitary and 
clean when there is a Ranz around.
