Good Hardware 
What will look best in your home? 
I T is not enough that good hardware should 
work willingly and last as long as the building 
itself. It must also look the part—that is, it must 
be made in designs suitable for any interior dec¬ 
orative treatment and for any architectural motif. 
So whether your home is built in one of the 
Colonial styles—whether it is an Italian villa or 
Swiss chalet—a California bungalow, French cha¬ 
teau or English cottage—a rambling old farmhouse 
or compact town residence—you can get Corbin 
Locks and Builders* Hardware that conform per¬ 
fectly to its character and make it a joy to live in. 
The designers of Corbin hardware have been close 
students of all the schools of creative art, from 
the classic Egyptian, Greek and Roman through 
every art period down to modern expressions. 
The influence of much that is fine in art of all 
periods is reflected in Corbin hardware. A part 
of the credit for this is due to the Corbin de¬ 
signers and artisans at New Britain. A large 
share of the credit is also due to the architectural 
profession. 
If you don’t know who the local Corbin dealer is, 
drop a line to the nearest Corbin office.
