House & Garden 
Original in plan and finished 
in standard Curtis Woodwork 
What home offers a more pleasing vista 
than that above? Original, different, in¬ 
dividual, beautiful! Surely a happy 
combination of careful planning by the 
architect and extremely good woodwork. 
Any lumber merchant who sells Curtis 
Woodwork carries a stock of just such 
woodwork. The corner cupboards in the 
distance, the sash and frame between 
them, the six-panel Colonial door on the 
left, the mirror door on the right, all the 
moldings and trim were selected from 
standard sizes and designs. 
You can go on through the list. There 
are stairs, mantels, book cases, linen cases, 
medicine cabinets. You’ll find breakfast 
nooks, built-in kitchen dressers, work tables, 
ironing boards in wall cabinets. 
Regardless of the article, its style or size, 
you will find but one quality—the highest 
attainable in wood, in workmanship, in de¬ 
sign and in features of construction. Curtis 
stairs do not creak, drawers do not bind. 
The quality evident in the home above is 
present in all homes finished in Curtis Wood- 
worK. 
Will your new home have that quality? 
You will find that quality reasonable in 
price because the higher costs of better ma¬ 
terials and better workmanship and construc¬ 
tion are largely offset by the advantages of 
standardized manufacturing.
