c FRONT DOOR opens 
Y OU enter the hallway of your new home, and woodwork 
greets your eyes. The staircase, interior trim, or doors 
command your admiration. The simplicity and the char¬ 
acter expressed in the architecture excite your praise. It is 
in these that the beauty and harmony of good design worked 
out in honest wood with painstaking care are most forcefully 
brought home to you. 
The designs pictured in the hall above are typical of all 
Curtis Woodwork, “The Permanent Furniture for Your 
Home.” For other designs, ask your Curtis dealer to show 
you our catalog, “Architectural Interior and Exterior Wood¬ 
work, Standardized.” 
In this book you will find front entrances that welcome; 
interior doors that enhance the beauty of well-chosen furnish¬ 
ings; permanent furniture for the living-room, dining-room, 
and other parts of the house; stairs that are both stately and 
strong; windows that keep out the weather; bays and dor¬ 
mers that add interest to the outside and cheer and comfort 
to the interior; frames that are weather-proof; porch material 
splendidly proportioned; exterior moldings that make beautiful 
cornices; and interior trim that will be a credit to your rooms. 
But Curtis Woodwork does not merely delight the eye with 
its beauty. Those who use it in their homes have the satisfac¬ 
tion of knowing that it saves them considerable money over 
made-to-order items. This is because Curtis Woodwork is 
made in standard designs and sizes and is produced in quantities. 
With unceasing effort to keep Curtis Woodwork abreast of the times, 
the Curtis Companies seek constantly the help of the architectural pro¬ 
fession. Through the services of Trowbridge & Ackerman, architects, 
of New York City, Curtis Woodwork summarizes the best in archi¬ 
tectural traditions and contemporaneous practice. 
If you have not already selected the plan and design for your new 
home, your Curtis dealer can be of help to you in doing so, through the 
service he offers you as a purchaser of Curtis Woodwork. 
Ask him to get for you, free of charge, one of the three handsome 
portfolios that we have prepared for prospective builders, each con¬ 
taining illustrations, sketches of the floor plans, and complete descrip¬ 
tions of 32 houses, eight of which are illustrated in colors (in “Better 
Built Homes,” Vols. VI and VII). 
If there is no Curtis dealer in your town, see your lumber dealer, or 
send SOc in postage (75c in Canada) with the attached coupon and the 
portfolio you desire will be sent to you direct.
