ARE you doing without a home be- 
Jr\. cause you believe that a beautiful 
home is only for the wealthy? 
You need to do without it no longer. 
You can realize now your dream of a 
house that is as beautiful, as comfortable, 
and as convenient as your home ought 
to be, however small. And this home 
is as easily obtained as your lumber 
dealer is accessible. 
The Curtis Companies, manufacturers 
of guaranteed and trademarked Curtis 
Woodwork, make this possible. 
To bring this home within your reach, 
the Curtis Companies have retained 
Trowbridge and Ackerman, architects, 
of NewYork—authorities in the field of 
domestic architecture—to design a large 
number of houses for you to select from. 
And, to insure your home being beau¬ 
tiful on the inside, the same authorities 
have designed Curtis Woodwork to go 
into it. Your woodwork comprises the 
architectural ‘‘details” of the house. 
and upon the character of these rest 
largely the beauty, comfort, and con¬ 
venience of your home. 
Curtis Woodwork is designed for 
houses of four different architectural 
expressions—Colonial, English, West¬ 
ern, and Southern. Surely among these 
is just what you want. 
It is standardization that makes it pos¬ 
sible for you to obtain this woodwork of 
architectural character. The Curtis Com¬ 
panies manufacture all designs of Curtis 
Woodwork in large quantities. This 
brings down the cost of production, and 
thus reduces the cost of good wood¬ 
work to you. 
Ask your lumber dealer about Curtis Wood¬ 
work. It will be supplied through him when 
you build. Ask him to obtain for you, free, a 
portfolio of “Better Built Homes”; or send 
the coupon below, with 25 c, and the portfolio 
you name will be sent direct. Each portfolio 
contains illustrations of the exteriors, interiors, 
and floor-plans, with complete descriptions of 
thirty-two homes. Begin now to start action on 
realizing your dreams of a home of your own.
