Not long ago, the only way the builder of the small house could
obtain such things of beauty and comfort as those described on the
foregoing pages was to have his lumber dealer order them from his
manufacturer, made to the architect’s special details. This was a
very expensive process, so expensive, in fact, that as a result of
it architects’ services were largely slighted, and consequently,
builders obtained uninteresting, ill-proportioned woodwork that could
not possibly produce restful rooms.
The Curtis Companies have changed all this. Architectural authorities
have designed practically every item of Curtis Woodwork. You can
buy this architectural woodwork for what you would have to pay for
mediocre designs made-to-order.
Go to your dealer and ask him to show you his Curtis catalog. It will
give you specific information concerning sizes and other details.
Selecting your designs of woodwork from the Curtis catalog is one of
the safest steps you can take toward obtaining restful rooms. Look
for this trademark
+CURTIS+
It identifies every genuine piece of Curtis Woodwork. You will find
many imitations of Curtis designs and some that are claimed to be
just as good. But without this trademark you do not receive Curtis
quality--an intrinsic value that unites appearance, utility and
Curtis intent.
