/acts about Mahogany 
_ for the Home Builder 
I IKE sterling silver as compared to baser metals, 
_j home builders look upon Mahogany as ideal. 
Few realize that Genuine Mahogany is really within 
their reach; that it is as easy to obtain and, all 
things considered, more economical than other 
cabinet woods. 
The purpose of the Mahogany Association, Inc. 
is to place the facts before prospective home build¬ 
ers. It offers a confidential, centralized service 
in all problems relating to Mahogany, without 
charge, and with the full assurance that your inquiry 
will not be used as the basis of sales solicitation. 
Note the actual comparative prices of Mahogany 
and other woods for the interior woodwork in the 
great Temple Building, as well as in the more 
modest "Bungalow Beautiful.” 
These two buildings are far apart in character. 
Yet in each, the additional first cost of Genuine 
Mahogany over other less beautiful cabinet woods 
is so slight as to be negligible. 
What is true of these structures is true of any home, 
be it large or small. 
Our folders on Period Furniture and the "Home 
Beautiful” contain much that should be in¬ 
teresting. They will be sent free on request.
