What Curtis Means 
Formerly a good deal of woodwork was 
laboriously constructed “on the ;ob’’ by 
the slow and expensive hand work of 
carpenters and cabinet makers. Today the 
finest designs are made at great savings in 
cost by skilled,craftsmen in Curtis facto¬ 
ries. This is what Curtis Standardization 
means: Specialization on a limited niiinher 
oj really fine designs, made o f the best ma¬ 
terials, so lhal you buy quallly woodwork at 
reasonable cost and get prompt delioeries.

Beauty, comfort and convenience— 
three essentials of real homes—are 
assured when the woodwork is by 
Curtis. 
Doors 
All Curtis doors whether solid or 
veneered are carefully manufactured 
of selected woods. The exterior doors 
blend with the best architectural de¬ 
signs. The interior doors add to the 
good appearance of any room. 
Permanent Furniture 
The advantages of built-in furniture 
are numerous. It shows judicious 
planning. It is dignified, decorative, 
tlurable and economical. Every piece 
of Curtis permanent furniture insures 
carefully selected woods, excellent de¬ 
sign, perfect craftsmanship. It adds 
much in comfort, convenience and space 
saving.
