Finished in warm Redwood, a dwelling has that feeling 
of coziness and comfort which spells the difference between 
a house and a home. No other wood can give quite the 
same softness and “homey” effedt as Redwood. It may be 
left in its own natural finish, which has a beautiful old-rose 
tint; or it may be stained in a large number of shades and 
colors. Because of the huge size of Redwood trees, it is 
possible to get very wide panels. 
A photograph can not adequately illustrate the beauty of 
a California Redwood interior; it can merely suggest the 
effeift. Some slight idea, however, of Redwood paneling can 
be gathered from the picture shown here of a corner of the 
Columbia University Club in New York. Notice the grain 
as brought out by the lamplight. 
The unique properties of Redwood make it adaptable to 
many kinds of construction. It resists fire, owing to its free¬ 
dom from pitch and resin; it resists rot because it is impreg¬ 
nated with a natural preservative. Properly seasoned. Red¬ 
wood will not shrink, crack or warp. While it is easy to 
work, it holds nails well, and is also remarkably strong. 
Write for free booklets: “California Redwood Homes,” “Howto 
Finish Redwood” and “California Redwood for the Engineer.” Your 
lumber dealer should carry Redwood. If he does not, write us, and your 
needs will be met.
