When you give Genuine Mahogany 
you give heirlooms 
Y OU have seen quaint Mahogany tea-tables 
and writing desks at which Beaux in small¬ 
clothes and Belles in brocade have played their 
parts. The polished surface of the Mahogany 
has reflected powdered hair and patches. The 
legs, maybe, are scratched by the spurs of men 
who rode their last thoroughbred two hundred 
years ago. And have you ever thought that the 
children of your children’s children may, some¬ 
time, reflect that you, too, enjoyed the beauty 
of the Genuine Mahogany furniture you are 
buying today?

The pleasure of owning Genuine Mahogany 
furniture is not yours alone. Like sterling silver 
and old lace, its presence bespeaks refinement 
and good taste and it is admired by your friends. 
But, after it has served your 
purposes, future generations 
will still admire its beauty. 
That is the wonder of Gen¬ 
uine Mahogany. It im¬ 
proves with age. It indi¬ 
cates that good taste is a 
precious jewel, good at 
any time or place. 
Another charm of 
Genuine Mahogany f/m 
is in its distinctiveness, '-'mi 
It lies beyond the skill 
of any furniture manufac¬ 
turer to make two articles 
of Genuine Mahogany 
furniture alike in appear¬ 
ance. The form mav be the 
same, the design may be the same, the wood 
may have been taken from the same log, but the 
wonderful diversity of grain is such that no two 
tables, chairs or desks ever look quite alike. 
No other wood possesses the individuality of 
Genuine Mahogany. It is the aristocrat of all 
woods. Styles may come and go, fashions may 
change, but Genuine Mahogany furniture is 
always in fashion and never out of style. But, 
just as an imitation diamond is inferior to th? 
real gem, so is imitation Mahogany. It m-ay 
resemble the Genuine for a time but the deep 
mellowness, characteristic of Genuine Mahogany 
will never appear; neither can inferior furniture 
withstand atmospheric changes or the hard 
usage that the most carefully kept furniture 
must undergo. 
It is for the purpose of enabling you to 
buy Genuine Mahogany furniture that the 
Mahogany Association has been formed. 
The Association will co-operate with furni¬ 
ture manufacturers and dealers to insure 
the purchaser of furniture getting a square 
deal. Good furniture can 
be made of other woods 
but—when you ask for 
Genuine Mahogany and 
pay for Genuine Ma¬ 
hogany, you should get 
Genuine Mahogany. 
Ask your dealer to 
guarantee that the article 
you purchase is made of 
Genuine Mahogany. 
After all—there’s nothing like
