. . (i WHAT COKNEIL-WOOD -BOARD IS T he question is often asked, “What is Cornell- Wood-Board?" We answer it by saying that Cornell-Wood- Board is exactly what the name implies—a wood- board made from logs. But that is not all by any means. It is an all-purpose wood-board to be used wherever any of its 165 uses described in this book¬ let are applicable. Comell-Wood-Board has come to take the place of lath and plaster for walls, ceilings, and partitions; for making useful and handy conveniences for the home; for manual training purposes, etc. How CORN ELL-WOOD-BOARD Is Made After removing the bark, logs are ground to a pulp which is refined and made into sheets or plys. Four of these plys, when laminated together, make a panel of Cornell-Wood-Board, three-sixteenths of an dnch thick. After the laminating process is com¬ pleted the sheets are surfaced sized for the purpose of reducing expansion and contraction, caused by moisture and atmospheric changes, to a minimum. Before decoration, ordinary wall materials re¬ quire 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 re¬ sinous compound which insures an even, smooth, completed finish with one coat of paint or kalsomine. The proudest mark of its superiority is Cornell’s fashionable Oatmeal Finish which is an artistically 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. ' Cornell-Wood-Board is made in two widths, 32 and 48 inches, and in 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 16 foot lengths. Strong Points of CORNELL-WOOD-BOARD (1) It is fire resisting. (2) It is a nonconductor of heat, cold, and sound. (3) It will not bulge or warp. (4) It needs no priming or sizing before using. (5) It holds paint or enamel smoothly. (6) It is a genuine piece of Wood Board. (7) It has attractive Oatmeal Finish. Caution Accept no substitutes for Cornell-Wood-Board. No other wall board will saw and hold nails like Comell-Wood-Board. The name Cornell-Wood- Board is stamped on each sheet for your protection.

GENERAL OFFICES, CHICAGO MILLS, WATER POWER AND TIMBERLANDS IN ’ SBUlMtiA : Clothes Hamper Table Mats O F the hundreds of useful things that can be made of Cornell-Wood-Board this article has proven a popular item with the woman of the home. It is easily made out of one panel of 32x8. The only tools required are a hammer and saw. For reinforcing the corners, a three-quarter round moulding is suggested (see sketch), and the Cornell Board should be glued as well as nailed, with small brads. The cover is made of three pieces of board—r the bottom piece (No 3) cut to fit the inside measj- urements of the box. The center piece (No. 2) overlaps the outer edge of the box a half inch all around, and the top piece (No. 1) is put on merely for decoration. Specifications: Piece No. 1, 14x14 inches; 2, 18x18 inches; 3 and 4, IS^xlS^inches; 5 and 6, 15%x30 inches; 7 and 8, 16x30 inches. When this is finished with two coats of good quality white paint and one coat of white enamel, it makes a very attractive and useful article for the home. Qj _ MILL PRIMED triple sized A RECENT investigation of the Forest Product Laboratories of Canada proved that wood- pulp board makes a better protector from heat for tables or polished surfaces than either im- ) ported asbestos or felt pads. A few panels of ' Cornell-Wood-Board, cut the proper size, will en¬ able you to protect the polished surface of your : dining room table. It may be in two or three pieces hinged with adhesive tape in order to fold, and conveniently store away when not in use. A;’ small mat to be placed under hot dishes, or used as- a protection under water tumblers, can be very^ quickly cut out of Cornell-Wood-Board. By trac¬ ing thereon designs taken from any fancy work page found in the popular woman’s publications, they can be artistically decorated with oil paint. These not only serve a very practical purpose, but lend a decorative touch to your table that will de¬ light your guests. _ ^ Radiator Cover Screens S TEAM and hot water radiators cause the walls and ceilings directly above them to become soiled very quickly. This can be eliminated by constructing a top cover made of Cornell-Wood- Board. The construction is very simple^—merely measure the size of the radiator to be covered and cut your Cornell panels accordingly for the top and four sides. These are joined by re-enforcing the inside corners with quarter round moulding to which the sides are glued and nailed. G ORNELL panels enable you to easily make a folding screen for the particular need that may obtain in your home. The matter of height and width necessary to conceal a doorway, fireplace or other objects can be quickly determined and the panels cut accordingly. Use 1x2 inch dressed lumber strips to make a frame for each panel. Four ordinary hinges will do, althpugh Dress Hangers Shoe Holders double hinges that will permit the screens folding each way are preferable. Color combinations on the Cornell-Wood-Board and the panel strips can be used to harmonize with the rest of the furnishings. T he orderly person will at once be attracted by the ease with which a convenient holder or rack for shoes may be constructed inside the cupboard or closet door. Just measure the width of the door, allow sufficient depth for the shoes, cut three-cornered pieces for the brackets and about 33 ^ inches from the top surface of the shelf, nail a piece of quarter round moulding, which will hold the shoes in place by the heel. Convenient dress or coat hangers can be sawed out of Cornell-Wood-Board and attractively deco¬ rated or left plain. A wire hook or a heavy cord or ribbon can be used to hang on the closet hook. MILL PRIMED p ^^CorneU)fVyoodj(Bgaid^ TRI^ sized _ ^ Sewing Cabinet H ere is one of the most useful of all accessories for the sewing-room—a sewing cabinet made from Cornell-Wood-Board. It can be easily made by anyone from a sheet of Cornell-Wood- Board 48 inches wide by six feet long. The illustration of the completed cabinet above shows the details of construction. Each tray is 18 inches wide by 48 inches long and is faced all round with a 3 inch strip. The fittings of the trays con¬ sist of the following: right hand tray—small boxes for pins, buttons, hooks, and eyes, etc.; small 1 inch hooks and bag or pocket for sewing material; a piece of floral cretonne should be used for the front of pocket; left hand tray—small nails for spool holders, 1 inch hooks, and a wire the full width of the tray for ribbon spools, etc. Both trays are divided into three equal compartments. The corners and side should be re-inforced with three-quarter round moulding. The outside fittings consist of a small brass handle for the top, three one inch brass hinges, eight small brass comer pieces, and a small brass catch for the front. The inside of the sewing case can be lined with any kind of a light weight fabric, plain or floral, or painted to suit. The outside of the case can be beautified with stencil decorations or covered with floral cretonne. The only tools needed to make this attractive sewing cabinet are; a saw, hammer, knife, and some small nails and glue. _ MILL PRIMED p ^^COgngllfflroodj^Oaidi^ TRIPLE SIZED _^ Lambrequin Decorated Moulding Trimmed Lambrequin W indow valances or lambrequins are now much in vogue and add a very artistic touch to the better class of homes and public build¬ ings.

Draw them in exact propor¬ tion on the Cornell panel and cut out with saw and knife. Note that there are some piepes of which more than one are needed. After all the cutouts have been made the work of joining them is very simple. Set the house up in this manner: place the ends and side walls in the grooves on the section used for the floor as shown on opposite page. Then put in ceil¬ ing and the house is ready for the roof and chimney. Before the house is set up the interior should be painted and decorated, or the floor, walls, and ceil¬ ing tinted with water color in any combination desired. The roof should be outlined to represent shingles, and the chimney to represent brick. The possibilities for changing the outside style of this house are very great. For instance, you can have plain colored side walls and ends, or side walls and ends outlined to represent brick or weatherboard¬ ing. The range of color combinations for this work depend entirely upon the taste of the builder. ' When one side wall, together with one side of the roof is removed, the space in the main room and attic is very accessible and quite adequate for dolls, doll furniture, and cooking utensils, etc. By using a large panel of Cornell to represent the grounds or lot on which the house stands, a complete model home site can be laid out. A garage for the back yard can easily be made with swinging doors to accommodate a toy automobile, or a pergola for the side lawn and a cement side¬ walk and drive around the house. Grass can be represented by green paint.

Cornell-Wood-Board has been used so long, and by so many hundreds of thousands of people who have obtained the best of results with it, that we feel justified in stating that you will also be pleased with every job on which you use it. There are two principal reasons for the dura¬ bility of Cornell-Wood-Board. The first is the Cornell “Triple Sizing.” This process gives triple protection against moisture and atmospheric con¬ ditions reducing expansion and contraction to the minimum. Comell-Wood-Board will not chip, crack, warp, or buckle when applied according to the simple directions contained in each bundle. The second is that Cornell’s permanence is due to the fact that it is made of pure wood fibre (not paper), and these strong sturdy wood fibres are crossed and interlaid in the process of manufacture so that the finished product, while giving the ap¬ pearance of a’ solid piece of lumber, contains thou¬ sands of small air cells formed by the interlacing of the fibres. These dead air cells make Cornell- Wood-Board a non-conductor of heat, cold, and sound. _ MILL PRIMED C)^ TRIPLE SIZ^P _^ Use CORN ELL-WOOD-BOARD for Best Results When Remodeling I ^ A \ T he covering and, paneling of unsightly, un¬ plastered brick walls is an easy matter when Cornell-Wood-Board is used.
