Aypactnve “Home — from-which emanates every worthy ambition” HIS Booklet of Attractive Bungalows is offered in the hope that it may give you ideas in design and construction which will help you to decide just what you want and perhaps convey to you the very sué- gestion you have been needing to complete your plan for the new home. It is offered in the modern spirit of helpfulness which is intended to characterize the work of the CukrtiS Companies and particularly of this Service Bureau which they have created. In the following pages, particular emphasis has naturally been laid upon the interior woodwork—doors, windows, trim, stairways, cabinet work—commonly described as millwork. It is the decorative woodwork of the home, and in a very large measure, the basis for the impression made by the home on friends and visitors. While seldom thought of as furniture, this interior woodwork is permanent furniture when once in place. It requires the utmost care in making—more care even than the movable furniture such as tables and chairs which are easily replaced. The makers of CurRtiS Millwork have constantly before them the thought that their produé& is to be a part of the per- manent equipment of some home. The doors and other permanent furniture illustrated in this book are suitable for use in any house. The illustrations show how they would look in these particular houses, but it is not difficult to imagine how they would look with a differ- ent arrangement of rooms or a different Style of exterior architecture. Whatever the plan may be, these designs will sive dignity, harmony and individuality to the interior of the home. They have been adopted as CuRTIS standard designs to be made in standard sizes, in the belief that they most truly represent the modern Styles and conform to modern tastes. Page Three Each one has been used long enough to demonstrate its practicability, and yet not long enough to make it an old story. They are produced in quantities at considerably smaller cost than is possible in the construction of one piece at a time to special details; but they are made by the highest class work- men and with exactly the same painstaking effort to attain perfection that characterizes our work on special orders. The use of these Standard designs and sizes of CurtiS Per- manent Furniture will save you considerable money without in any way detracting from the individuality of the home, and it will enable your contractor or head carpenter to get the material exactly when he wants it to keep the work going at the house without delays, which are so costly to the owner. The homes shown in the following pages are, in most cases, not pretentious, but are entirely practical, substantial dwell- ings. Nearly all of them have actually been built in different parts of the country. They can be built again with positive assurance of a harmonious, artistic and economical result. They are not intended to be the lowest priced dwellings pos- sible, but the cost can be reduced by reducing the size with- out giving up entirely the general outlines of the design. If we can be of further service to you in helping you to make some chanéges, we shall be very glad to do so. We can do little more, however, than give you ideas and help in crystallizing your own. We can hardly expeé& to take the place of the professional archite& in those cases where the building is of sufficient importance to require the services of a man who is capable of designing it, making the specifications and supervising its construction. Your first difficulty in home-building is in deciding what the style and arrangement of the home shall be. If this book helps you over this difficulty, we shall be very glad. If we can help you further in this particular connection, you may command us to the limit of our ability. We hope to have the pleasure of supplying—through your dealer—the doors and other permanent furniture for your home. Should you entrust the work to us, you may expect us to co-operate with the dealer in an effort to avoid for you some of the other difficulties which generally beset the way of the home-builder. You may rely upon our constant inter~ est in your home during the progress of the work and even after its completion. “The Makers of Curtis Millwork Guarantee Complete Satisfaction to its Users.
