MAHOGANY—THE MASTER WOOD 
Ever since the days of Queen Elizabeth 
Mahogany has been known as “The Mas' 
ter Wood.” For generations it has been 
the favorite material of the great cabinet 
makers and designers. Today, as in the 
past, the finest furniture is made of 
Mahogany and its purchase represents a 
wise investment;—for Mahogany, unlike 
inferior woods, improves with age. 
Probably you own some Mahogany 
Furniture. Study it carefully. Note the 
changing appearance of the wood as you 
view it from different angles. Observe its 
depth—you seemingly can look way down 
below the surface. Compare an old piece 
with one of more recent date, and see how 
its color and tone have deepened and grown 
richer with age—provided, of course, the 
beauty of the wood has not been obscured 
by too dark a stain. 
Unfortunately much furniture is now 
being offered to the public as Mahogany 
which is not Mahogany in any sense of 
the word. In selecting furniture be on 
your guard against misleading terms such 
as “mahogany finish.” Such terms are 
never used in connection with real Ma' 
hogany. Do not rely upon a salesman’s 
statement that it is “Genuine Mahog' 
any”—let it be guaranteed and billed Gen¬ 
uine Mahogany—solid or veneered. In 
short—before you purchase— 
BE SURE ITS MAHOGANY 
The Mahogany Association will be pleased to send you upon request a copy 
of its new illustrated Booklet “H” and other interesting literature on the subject 
of Mahogany. Your request will not be followed by a personal solicitation.
