It is the only mill in existence making wall board complete from raw log to finished board under one roof and under one centralized, unified supervision. Its stupendous production of millions of feet every week of pure wood fibre board of uniform excellence is made possible by its ideal loca- tion, by the Cornell dam which furnishes 20,000 horsepower, and by the modern efficiency and clock-like precision of Cornell manufacture. From the surrounding forests. inspected logs are brought to the saw mill. There they are cut into two- foot lengths and deposited i In the huge wood pile shown under the derrick i in the picture above, Rapidly flowing sluices float these short pieces, as. needed, to the special machinery which removes every particle of bark. The clean wood then drops into the ‘ ‘grinders’”’ where it is shredded to fibrous pulp. Passing through a series of screens which remove knots, thick fibres and all defective material, the pulp goes to the enormous mixing vats. Here every fibre becomes thoroughly and evenly saturated with a moisture-resisting compound. The cleaned and chemically treated pulp is then formed into sheets and dried by passing over many hundred feet of rollers filled with live steam. When entirely dry four of these sheets are welded into the solid wood board 3% inch thick and cut to standard sizes. Then comes the final operation which is the most important and valuable of all. Both surfaces of the completed board are treated thoroughly with the patented Cornell Sizing. This is the secret of why the fashionable and beautiful Oatmeal Finish of Cornell-Wood-Board makes such an excellent base for paint or kalsomine. < Cornell * Wood % Board ¢- Utilizing | Attic Space HIS attic was used asa stor- age space for old trunks and odds and endsuntil Cornell- Wood- Board, nailed over the bare timber, charted it toa useful room at little expense.

It will protect your car from the common trouble of frozen or chilled engine in the winter, and Avs keeps your garage pleasantly cool during the hottest summer. Cornell Wood & Board cp HILE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THESE VV pictures. you will be interested in learning about the distinctive quality of Cornell-Wood- Board and about its three points of marked superiority. Cornell-Wood-Board is made to last. And it does last—as long as the building in which it is used and sometimes even longer. TRIPLE SIZED—There are two principal reasons for its durability. One is the Cornell ‘Triple Sizing. In the ‘‘Beaters’’ or mixing vats as described on page three, the fibres that make the board are thoroughly saturated with moisture-resisting chemicals. This special process prevents moisture from working into the board, as it would otherwise, and causing it to swell and warp. Since moisture does not — penetrate it, Cornell-Wood-Board does not expand and buckle, neither does it disintegrate as plaster does. Our wood board is unique in this internal sizing. © Another reason for its permanence is that the fibres are crossed and interlaced, instead of running all in the same direction. The thousands of small air-cells thus formed make Cornell-Wood-Board a non-conductor of heat, cold, sound and electricity. For the same cause it is very light for its strength and rigidity, and this means a considerable saving in freight and express charges. MILL PRIMED—Before decoration, ordinary wall ma- terials require a priming coat of paint or glue sizing to make a base for the finish. Cornell-Wood-Board’s Mill Priming makes this unnecessary. The finished board is thoroughly treated on both sides with a special resinous compound which insures an even, smooth, completed finish with one coat of paint or kalsomine. OATMEAL FINISH—The proudest mark of its superi- ority is Cornell’s fashionable Oatmeal Finish which is an artisticall-y rough, soft-toned, matte or pebbled surface quite in contrast to the hard shine of other materials. It gives to any room in which Cornell-Wood-Board is used, a tone of unmistakable refinement, elegance and good taste. Insure this atmosphere in your home by insisting that nothing but Cornell-Wood-Board be used on your walls and ceilings. ified ign dainty; attractive bedroom. ic into a Below is a view showing how Cornell-Wood-Board can room ‘Cornell 32” has been used to supply d ~ ~ ad o oF a) oS | id Fae 30% Piacodi A Ye Soe | to h= =a ©) er be hears Set oe xy 2 Zs pee) bs & Seep DR catering ve: ee: : ee cae eH In the Attic or Basement Sp + Nit Ideal for Yaprooms MILL PRIMED Cornelry N_ every home, from the most ele Cornell-Wood-Board is in place for w: omy, the material itself costs little. | decorations may be anything from a simple coat c for Extra fooms an Closets i z ' . i : 3 3 g es lceiheneih Nivea nisi coe eae PT Ra please nRS SOR in ood-Roard TRIPLE SIZED orate mansion to the humble cottage, ° oe ls and ceilings.

Always leave at least 3% inch space between all edges and ends of boards. Each board should first be nailed to the intermediate studding with 2 penny casing nails, or | inch 15 gauge brads spaced 9 inches apart. Next nail all four edges to studs and headers with 3 penny 14 inch common wire nails, spaced 3 inches apart and about 14 inch from edge of board. Great care should be exercised in nailing, as the decorative possibilities of the board will be greatly reduced if surface is hammer marked. OVER LATH AND PLASTER: in remodeling over lath and plaster, remove the old plaster wherever it is loose, and if plaster has fallen, level up all holes with furring strips or scrap pieces of board where necessary to provide a firm nailing surface. Never apply board over an uneven surface, and always leave at least 34 inch space between all edges and ends of boards. Remove the base board and run the wall board to the floor.

Over Concrete or Brick The walls should be given a coat of damp-proof paint, tar or asphaltum. Furring strips (1 x 2 inches), spaced on 16-inch centers, should be securely nailed to the walls to take the place of the joists and studs. Headers of the same thickness should be provided between these furring strips where necessary to provide nailing surface for all panel edges. Headers should also be inserted where it is planned to run a picture mould, plate rail, chair rail or base board, so that a solid nailing surface will be provided for these mouldings. The procedure now will be the same as in the application over studs and joists. Over Matched Lumber, Shiplap and Other Woodwork Any rough spots should be leveled, and if there is a base board it should be removed so the wall board may be run to the floor. The board is nailed directly over the old walls with 3 penny 14% inch common wire nails, spaced 3 inches apart and % inch from the edge, and 2 penny casing nails spaced 9 inches apart and 16 inches from panel edge, in exactly the same manner as in the application over studs and joists.

First, however, go over the surface of the board care- fully, filling in all nail holes and other irregularities with putty or filler. The best. filler is made of two parts plaster of paris to one part Dextrine. (Do NOT under any circumstances put putty or filler between panels.) Since Cornell-Wood-Board is thoroughly sized, one or two coats of any good interior oil paint or kalsomine applied in strict accordance with instructions of the maker, is sufficient. An artistic stenciled design in a harmonious color along the edges or top of the panels adds a finishing touch to the effect. Several paint manufacturers furnish stencils for this use free with their paint or kalsomine. The use of wall paper over Cornell-Wood-Board is discouraged, as it will not prove so satisfactory as kalsomine. It costs a great deal more, is un- sanitary and difficult to redecorate. Then, too, the beauty and elegance of the Cornell Oatmeal Finish is lost if wall paper is used. When the paint has thoroughly dried, the decorative strips should be ap- plied. The strips are used to cover the i inch space between the edges of the boards and should not be less than 2 inches wide and 3 inch thick. These strips should be stained or painted before nailing, in place. Use finishing nails of sufficient length and gauge in applying the trim and if varnished strips are used, fill nail holes with a tinted putty to make it the same color as the wood. Cove moulds, plate rails, picture moulds and a varied assortment of fancy shaped strips may be obtained from the lumber dealers. The use of fairly wide panel strips always makes the finished room more attractive. 19 tr Cornell Wood « Board¢,) VER Ves trite window display artist appreciates the distinctive qual- ities of Cornell -Wood - Board, which make it especially adaptable and suitable for every sort of decoration and display work. The Oatmeal Finish, which is a rough, soft-toned, art matte surface, givesa richness and elegance to any decoration that you wish to apply. Both surfaces of the board are so evenly and carefully sized and primed, that one light coat of paint or kalsomine gives a beautiful, smooth effect. It may be finished in a way that will give an impression of lightness (when used for screens, etc.) or it may be handled in such a way as to make it appear as solid and heavy as rock. J When one surface has been used, the other may be called into service. Since only one coat of finish need be applied on either surface, it isa simple procedure to rub the board with a damp cloth and redecorate it. Another of its valuable qualities is that, unlike papier-mache, it may be’ sawed or cut like good wood, and fastened together with nails or brads. It is amply strong enough to support considerable weight. You can readily think of innumerable ways in which such a material can be used to help solve your display and decoration problem.
