AT YOUR NEW HOME 
T EN thousand people may pass your house where but 
one enters in. The passers-by get only a glimpse at its 
beauty. What pride will you know if even they admire it! 
The front entrance bids a hospitable welcome. Tbe 
porch tells of its owner’s love for the out-of-doors. The 
windows give an insight into his good taste. The cornice 
may add a touch that wins praise. Dormers, bays, and 
shutters bring comfort and joy to the interior and add in¬ 
terest and beauty to the outside. 
The Curtis Companies are manufacturers of those exterior 
and interior architectural details for homes known as Curtis 
Woodwork. These are photographically illustrated in the 
Curtis Catalog No. 400, which your Curtis dealer will be 
glad to show you. That book will give you many sug¬ 
gestions for adding beauty, comfort, and convenience to 
your home. 
The Curtis Companies sought the aid of the architectural 
profession in the designing of Curtis Woodwork. The archi¬ 
tects, Trowbridge & Ackerman, of New York, have designed 
some of America’s most beautiful homes. They have trans¬ 
lated into Curtis Standard Designs the best that tradition 
and contemporaneous architecture offer. The result is 
woodwork of beauty as well as of good materials and skil¬ 
ful construction. 
Would you like to see some houses and plans that show 
the beauty, comfort, and convenience of Curtis Woodwork? 
Your Curtis dealer can obtain for you free of charge one 
of our portfolios of “ Better Built Homes. Each portfolio 
contains exterior and interior illustrations, floor plans, and 
complete descriptions of 32 homes; 8 of them are pictured 
in colors and others are illustrated from photographs. 
If there is no Curtis dealer in your town, take the matter 
up with your lumber dealer, or send 50 cents in postage 
(75c in Canada) for the portfolio you want, and it will 
be sent direct.
