The makers of Curtis Woodwork 
guarantee complete satisfaction to its users. 
“We’re not satisfied unless you are." 
The good name of Curtis Woodwork 
has been 57 years growing. Every 
piece is produced with the intent to 
make it as good as is humanly possible. 
So sincere is this intent that all Curtis 
Woodwork is trademarked doors, 
windows, stairways, “ permanent 
furniture,” molding. 
Others copy Curtis designs. But they 
do not work with the Curtis intent 
They only copy Curtis looks. And 
they cannot put on the name “Curtis” 
and the year of our founding, “1866.”

Curtis Woodwork and Built-In 
Furniture Make Ideal Kitchens 
T HE greatest change—the most 
complete right-about-face that 
home building has undergone in 
the last twenty years lies in the kitchen. 
For people have come to realize that 
it is the workshop of the home and 
must be carefully equipped. 
You have dreamed of a beautiful 
white kitchen, with cabinets built into 
the wall, with china cases, a spacious 
cupboard and storage place for pots 
and pans. A built-in ironing board 
that swings back into the wall out of 
the way is needed. A cozy breakfast 
nook has come to be expected. 
Remodel your old kitchen 
Right now—even if you do not in* 
tend to build—you can easily have the 
ideal kitchen you desire. 
More and more women are coming 
to know that Curtis Woodwork and 
permanent furniture can be selected 
just like anything else. A carpenter 
can quickly put it in with little muss 
or bother. There is a dealer in your 
town who has a Curtis catalog which 
will give you a great variety of designs 
to choose from.

The Curtis Companies have gone 
to great expense to obtain some of 
the most beautiful woodwork designs 
in America or abroad. Naturally you 
realize that they put into every piece 
flawless material and skilled work¬ 
manship. 
Flawless material and 
skilled workmanship 
Experts who have spent lifetimes 
in the working of wood are in charge. 
Expensive machines that only agreat 
establishment can afford add refine¬ 
ments to the manufacture of each 
piece, making it stronger and better 
than ordinarily. The result is wood¬ 
work of a construction and richness 
which formerly graced only $50,000 
homes — produced at a price which 
every home builder can afford. 
Glance at the combination kitchen 
dresser and work table shown in this 
advertisement. It is design C-760 
shown in “Permanent Furniture.” 
Here are three pieces of permanent 
furniture. They set so smoothly 
together that they appear like a unit. 
Thecornersof each piece are lock-mi¬ 
tred together—avoiding the use of nails 
and eliminating contrasts of grain. 
A guide rail beneath every drawer 
makes it open and shut smoothly 
and removes likelihood of jamming. 
You can have a flour bin if you 
desire. Into every piece of Curtis 
Woodwork go refinements of con¬ 
struction and workmanship such as 
you see here.
