Would you buy an artificial diamond? 
C ERTAINLY NOT, especially if you could 
get a genuine stone for a comparatively slight 
increase in cost. 
Then why allow imitation mahogany furniture 
or interior woodwork to come into your home 
when Genuine Mahogany may be had at a cost 
little above diat of less beautiful, less durable 
cabinet woods? 
Do not be misled into buying so\ ne other wood 
masquerading as mahogany under the mislead¬ 
ing name "Mahogany Finish”— it is loo 
per cent imitation. The term is never used in 
connedion with Genuine Mahogany. 
Again, the so-called "Combination Mahogany” 
too often means the use of other less desirable 
woods with mahogany veneer only on the 
prominent parts. 
When you buy furniture insist upon receiving a 
guarantee that what is represented as mahogany 
is Genuine Mahogany and that every surface 
ordinarily visible is Genuine Mahogany. Apply 
the same rule when dealing with your Builder or 
Decorator where interior woodwork is involved. 
The Mahogany Association has nothing to 
sell. It is always glad to serve you, without 
charge, in any matter pertaining to Mahogany. 
Folders on Period Furniture and "Home Beautiful” 
will be sent to you upon request. 
after all — there’s nothing like
