"/"CHINA CLOSET^ 
tJERE is a china closet that you will grow to love for its 
-*• beauty and the romance it will hold. And in the next 
generation your grandchildren will love it, too, for it will 
still be as beautiful and romantic. There, may be your own 
baby mug and bowl; and, perhaps, great-aunt’s teacup, from • 
which many a future was foretold; and the whole set of 
glistening china may tell gay talcs of holiday feasts and happy 
family reunions, and recall many forgotten secrets. 
And just remember that wherever your eye looks, Curtis 
Woodwork can place similar beauty in your home. Many in 
number are the Curtis designs of woodwork, of which this 
china closet is but representative. And all are within the 
reach of the modest purse. 
There are stately stairways, strong doors, attractive windows, 
cornice moldings, sideboards, buffets, kitchen dressers, book¬ 
cases, mantels and interior trim to add beauty and conve.- 
nience to the home with Curtis Woodwork. All were 
designed for the Curtis Companies by Trowbridge and 
Ackerman, architects, of New ork. 
Trowbridge and Ackerman have also designed many beau¬ 
tiful houses of from three to eight rooms. Some of these 
houses are illustrated in our portfolios, Better Built Homes.” 
Perhaps you want a house of the refined Colonial type or one 
of Southern, Western, or English architectural expression. 
These are planned with Curtis Woodwork, which is manu¬ 
factured in standardized sizes. 
For more than fifty years Curtis Woodwork has been known 
as good woodwork—honest craftsmanship. Because of the 
dependable materials used, and the skill of Curtis craftsmen, 
we are proud to put our name on every piece of Curtis 
Woodwork. 
Curtis Woodwork is sold only through lumber dealers. 
Where there is no Curtis dealer we will send our portfolios 
of “Better Built Homes” free at the request of any lumber 
merchant. Where there is a Curtis dealer we will send them 
free only upon his request. Look up the Curtis dealer in your 
town, for he is equipped to give you an unusual building service. 
Whether or not you personally are planning to build, it 
would help you to advise others in your community if you 
had our portfolios. Use the coupon to get them at 25c each.
