V 'rff 4 -i..7 tf'c ^ ’■’‘" .w'-w om TO THE TRADE GREETING N PRESENTING TO YOU OUR SOCIAL WHOLESALE CAT¬ ALOGUE NO. 51, SHOWING A VERY SMALL PART OF OUR EN¬ TIRELINE OF MANTELS, GRILLES TILES AND FIREPLACE FIXTURES OF ALL KINDS. WE ASK CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS : Last year we were successful in increasing the vol¬ ume of our business by sharing with our customers a con¬ siderable saving which we were able to effect on account of purchasing materials in extra large quantities . This year the saving will be even greater, as we have just completed certain large season contracts on raw and finished materials that enable us to fix our ])rices at figures against which we challenge comparisons — quality of goods considered. For sixteen years we have been before you with our catalogues and our letters soliciting your trade. During that time we have made many customers — many friends. Before this j'ear closes we hope to have many more. If 3'our name is not among the number, won’t you let us add it now? We shall be very grateful for such favor and promise in all things a Square Deal. KING MANTEL COMPANY ON THE king's HIGHWAY KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE r. s. J. OUR TERMS The prices named for the goods shown in this book are subject only to the trade discount which is named to you when catalogue is sent. After such dis¬ count is taken off, the prices are then strictlj^ net. All goods are quoted f. o. b. (free on board) cars factory, Knoxville, Tenn., with the exception of brick Mantels, which are quoted f. o. b. brick plant (see page 52). In consideration of the narrow margin of profit on which these goods are sold, we require that a cash remittance, equal to not less than one-fourth of the amount of order, accompany the same as a guarantee of good faith, and balance may be paid on receipt of goods. As these are our terms to one and all, regardless of credit standing or commercial rating, we trust you will not ask us to deviate from the same. We pledge ourselves to refund w'ithout question any money paid in advance should the goods not prove all that we have represented them to be. INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING PRICES “MANTEL ONLY” means the finished Mantel—woodwork and mirror (if mirror is shown), but does not include any grate or tiles. “MANTEL COMPLETE WITH OUTEIT No. 1” means the Mantel, 20-inch Appalachian coal burning Grate with Summer Eront. plated finish and set of bright glaze enameled tiles (any color) for facing and hearth. “MANTEL COMPLETE WITH OUTFIT No. 2” means the Mantel, 20-inch New Bismarck Mounted Grate with Summer Front, plated finish, and set of bright glaze enameled tiles (any color) for facing and hearth. EXTRA OUTFITS—IMPORTANT—READ CAREFULLY If you want 24-inch Appalachian Grate instead of 20-inch Grate with Outfit No. 1, $2.00 must be added to list price. If you want 24-inch New Bismarck Mounted Grate with Outfit No. 2 instead of 20-inch Grate, $4.00 must be added to list price. REMEMBER you cannot use a 24-inch Grate with a Mantel that has opening only 36 inches wide. See catalogue description of Mantel for size of opening. If you want a Gas Grate instead of a coal burning Grate, $6.00 must be added to the list price for Outfit No. 1, and our 20-inch, 16 tile, asbestos back, multiple burner Grate, similar to that shown with No. 1043 Mantel on page 25, will be furnished complete with Summer Front and in best plated finish. In ordering these grates always state whether natural gas or artificial gas is to be used. If you want “King-Satin” dull glaze tiles for facing and hearth instead of bright glaze enameled tiles, $5.00 extra must be added to list price. All hearths are 60x21 inches, measured from face of chimney, not from face of Mantel. If you want hearth 60 x 24 inches, $1.00 must be added to list price. If you want Embossed tile facings for Mantels that have opening 36x36 inches or 42x39 inches (no other sizes can be furnished), the extra cost for such facings must be added as quoted on page. 5. Where color of tiles are not specified, we will understand that the selection is left to us, and will send those which we consider appropriate for the mantel. 2 APPALACHIAN UNMOUNTED GRATE Quoted with Outfit No. 1 APPALACHIAN UNMOUNTED GRATE List Price, complete with Summer Front (plated finish), $5.i)(i We show here an open view of our 20-inch Appa¬ lachian coal burning grate which met with such popu¬ lar favor last year. The remarkably low price at which we offer this grate will come as a surprise to many, who will probably not understand why a grate of such excellent quality can be sold for so little money. In explanation wish to say that we contract for these goods in immense quantities, several car loads at a time, and thus obtain every advantage pos¬ sible from quantity production. We challenge any concern to meet our prices on goods of equal quality. The grate complete consists of frame, basket and ash screen of cast iron and Summer Front of heavy sheet steel. The Frame and Summer Front are In double electro-plated finish and may be had in either Oxidized Copper or Oxidized Brass. Basket of grate is 20 inches wide. The outside dimensions of grate frame are 24i/^ inches wide by 30% inches high. Last year we had the Appalachian grate with but one style of Summer Front, but for this season have added several new and attractive patterns of Summer Fronts, a number of which are shown with mantels throughout catalogue. (See pages 12, 26, 33 and 47). Customers, if they prefer, may specify exact styles of Summer Fronts wanted; otherwise, we will understand that selection is left to us and will act accordingly. No fire brick or back tile are included in our quo¬ tation for the Appalachian grate, but simply the Frame, Summer Front, Basket and Ash Screen, making the complete grate as stated above. THE NEW BISMARK MOUNTED GRATE List price, complete with Summer Front (plated finish) $15,94 NO. 1 NEW BISMARCK GRATE NO. 1 NEW BISMARCK Quoted with Outfit No. 2 Open view showing interior construction. For closed view showing style of Summer Front, see Mantel 1040 on page 15. Fur¬ nished in best plated finish, either Oxidized Copper or Oxidized Brass. Rear view showing damper attachment. Heavy castings and strongest construction throughout. Outside dimensions, 24% inches wide, 30% inches high. Size of grate, 20 inches. FOR THE PRACTICAL BUYER The New Bismarck Mounted Grate as shown on this page we consider the best grate for the price on the market today. While the cost, at first thought, may seem to be considerably more than that of an unmounted grate, as a matter of fact, it is practically nothing more when you consider the following: First, you save the price of fire brick, which are never quoted with an unmounted grate The New Bismarck, being built altogether in one piece, sets in the fireplace just like a stove and requires no fire brick. Second, you don’t have to pay for having the fireplace lined up with fire brick. Instead, simply make the opening to fit the New Bismarck Grate and wire the grate in place. It is built already set. Third, you will have no experiments in adjusting the throat of the flue to throw the heat out into the room. The throat of every New Bismarck (Irate is built at exactly the proper angle and, if your flue is right, will always draw and never smoke. Fourth, an unmounted grate, which, as you know, consists of simply the frame, summer front, basket and ash screen, of course has no dampers. The New Bismarck has upper and lower dampers, identically the same as our famous King Grate, by means of which the fire can be easily regulated and controlled at all times. The basket also has dumping bottom. The list price for New Bismarck Mounted Grate in 20-inch size as shown above, and complete with summer front, plated finish, is only $15.94. In 24-inch size, as shown with No. 1044 mantel on page 16 (outside dimensions of frame 30% x 30% inches) and complete with summer front, the list price is only $4.00 more, or $19.94, these prices, of course, subject to the usual catalog discount. 3 WOOD MANTELS The Mantels' shown in this book are quoted in the stock sizes and finishes in which each particular design can be furnished. Remember, these goods are made and finished in immense quantities in order to reduce the cost of production, which enables us to quote the prices which we name to you. Odd sizes or special finishes cannot be furnished except at an advance in price; therefore, do not accept orders for such goods from your customers until you have first ascertained from us what the extra charges will be. The stock shade of finish for oak Mantels is Golden Oak. The plain oak Mantels have extra gloss finish; the quartered oak Mantels, our best piano polish, which may be either dull rubbed or highly polished, as preferred. High polish always sent unless otherwise ordered. Mantels quoted in Maple Mahogany are made of maple, in imitation mahogany, with gloss finish. Those that are quoted in Real Mahogany are veneered with genuine mahogany selected for its rare beauty of grain and taking our famous “De Luxe Piano Polish Finish.” A medi¬ um dark shade of mahogany is carried in stock for prompt shipment and is always sent unless otherwise ordered. Do not order Mantels in Mahogany that are quoted in oak only, as the same cannot be furnished. Mantels quoted in primed finish have 3 coats of white prime paint only and are not enameled. If white enamel finish is wanted write for prices, giving catalogue numbers of Mantels. Always state wood and finish wanted for each Mantel ordered. MANTEL TILES—BRIGHT GLAZE ENAMELS In this catalogue we illustrate with the Mantels two kinds of tiles—the regular bright glaze enamels, with which all of our customers are doubtless familiar, and our new King-Satin or Velvet finish dull glazes. The regular bright glaze enamel tiles only are included in the complete prices quoted with Mantel under each illustration, and may be had in any color. The most popular solid color shades in these tiles are white, cream, canary, light blue, light green, rich brown, French gray, old rose, Nile green and golden olive. Among the prettiest shades in mottled tiles in the bright enamel glazes are delft blue, light green and white, tan and cream, sea foam and thistle, rich brown and green, light blue, cream and pink and light green, pink and white. We suggest that a general idea be given as to colors wanted, leaving the exact selection to us, and we will then use our best taste and judgment in sending tiles that are appropriate. The most important thing that we ask the trade to consider is that the tiles we sell are first quality, manufactured to our order in the most refined shades and colors; in other words, “King Quality” tiles such as can fittingly be used with “King Quality” Mantels. Under no circumstances are these tiles to be confused with certain “seconds” and “factory culls” now on the market, which are offered under similar names at lower prices; neither will we attempt to compete in price with such tiles, which are as different in quality from those we offer as ordinary window glass is different from the best polished plate. Quotations for any of our tiles by the square foot, in barrel lots or in car-load lots, will be named on application. Bright glaze enamel tiles are carried in size 6 x 1^2 inches and will be so sent unless otherwise ordered. 4 MANTEL TILES—SATIN FINISH King-Satin is the name of a satin or /elvet finish tile which we have in the most beautiful shades of green, brown, tan. Colonial ivory, etc. All of these tiles are in solid colors, satin finish tiles not being appropriate in the mottled shades. The regular price for dull or velvet finish tiles, equal in quality to King- Satin, has heretofore ranged from six to ten dollars list more on the set over the price of bright glaze enamels, depending on the quantity required. By purchasing in immense quantities, however, we have for this season reduced the price to such a point as to enable us to offer King-Satin tiles at an average list price of only $5.00 more on the set than regular bright glaze enamels (see opposite page). To parties who have placed an order, samples of these tiles will be sent prepaid on request, for their selection and approval. Orders will be filled for tiles in sizes such as in our judgment are most appropriate for the Mantels with which they are to be used. Prices for Rookwood, Algerian, Peau-de-soie and other higher priced tile of this class will be quoted on application. EMBOSSED TILE FACINGS Where embossed tiles are preferred for Mantel facings instead of plain surface tiles, we will furnish the same (selection of color and design to be left to us) at following extra prices: Where opening in Mantel is 36 inches wide by 36 inches high (see Mantel 1001, page 26), add to list price quoted for Mantel complete, $4.00. If the Mantel has opening 42 inches wide by 39 inches high (see Mantel 1005, page 36), $7.00 extra must be added to list for embossed facing and $3.00 extra for 20-inch Grand Knox Grate, or $10.00 in all, as it will be necessary to have a grate with an extra wide frame, the Appalachian Grate in 20-inch size not being broad enough to fit these large facings. Unless order specifically calls for embossed tiles for facings, plain tiles wil' be shipped and hearths will in every case be sent without borders.

For work of this kind we have in our employ a number of skilled designers, who for years have devoted their time to the planning of Correct Fireplaces. Stock designs can be used in many cases, but in most instances the best results are obtained by special treatment, the same as an Architect or Deco¬ rator would give when planning work for a home. When writing about Tile Mantels, the size of the fireplace should be given, the width of the chimney breast, and a pencil sketch sent, if possible, showing how far the chimney sets out from the wall. We should also know something about the style of the house and the character of the room in which the Mantel is to be placed. To parties who furnish this information, the services of our expert designers are free, and we will gladly furnish special sketches showing fireplaces gotten up according to the individual taste and requirements of the owner, in which will of course be embodied plans and suggestions from the designer.

NO. 112—ASH PIT DOOR—HINGED DOOR Where ash pits are used in the house, it is always essential to have a first-class ash-pit door, and as such we can recommend our No. 112 in every sense of the word. It is cast of good material, the door is well hinged, works without friction, and has a strong latch with which it may always be fastened securely when closed.

Tiles of this kind form one of our strongest specialties, and those that we handle may be depended on as being the very best. Lower prices may be quoted than those given by us, but the quality cannot be the same, as a comparison will easily prove. While prices are given here by the foot in order that customers may see how inexpensively a room may be tiled, yet for accurate figures on tile jobs, it is best to submit specifications and meas¬ urements. In this connection we call attention to our special art department, in which is prepared water color drawings showing just how tile floors and walls will look when put in place. Send us plans or sketches with all measurements of the spaces you have to be tiled, giving an Idea of the colors wanted, and suitable drawings will be submitted without charge, together with lowest esti¬ mate for materials required. SPECIAL INSTRUC¬ TIONS When figuring tile wainscotings a 1 w ays take into considera¬ tion the height, which at prices quoted must not be less than 3 feet. Diagram must be sent giving exact size and shape of room to be tiled, num¬ ber of doors and win¬ dows, width of same and height of win¬ dows from floor. Please take careful notice that our price for wall tiles calls not only for cap and base, but for angles as well, which includes cor¬ ners and stop ends for window jambs with¬ out extra charge; also that these tiles are firsts — not ‘‘factory seconds or culls.” No tile wainscoting can be properly put up without cap and base, therefore we quote only with these in¬ cluded. Tiles for win¬ dow trim as shown with wall tile ar¬ rangement No. 500 are not necessary for a finished job, but will be quoted on applica¬ tion. WALL TILE ARRANGEMENT NO. 600 Showing 6x2 sanitary cove base, plain turned cap and 6x2 body. LIST PRICES White wall tiles as shown, including cap and base with necessary angles (window trim not Included), per square foot..

Base 6x6, turned sanitary pattern, color as ordered. List price, per square foot, 75c. HOW TO FIGURE Suppose you have a bath room to be tiled which measures 8 ft. by 10 ft. and you want the wainscoting 4 ft. 6 in. high, which is the height shown in this picture. The floor wiil, of course, contain 80 ft., which figure multipiied by the list price per sq. ft. for the floor tile will give cost of floor. For the wainscoting, if the height is to be 4 ft. 6 in. there will be for every running foot around the room 4 % square feet. As the list price per sq. ft. for wall tile arrangement No. 300 (if this pattern is se¬ lected) is 75c, the list price per lineal foot around the room, for wainscoting 4 ft. 6 in. high, will be $3.37. As the tiles are 6 in. long, fractional inches cannot be counted, but if the room has a door 3 ft. 4 In. wide, you will count out 3 feet for the door, which will leave for an 8x10 room 33 running feet around the room. This at $3.37 per run¬ ning foot will make a total list price of $111.21 for the amount of wall tile required, including the necessary cap and base to make the wains¬ coting 4 ft. 6 in. high, according to wall tile arrangement No. 300. If wainscoting is 4 ft. high the list price per lineal foot will be $3.00, and so on according to illus¬ tration just given. All of these prices are, of course, subject to cata¬ logue discount.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS The prices given on this and preceding pages (except No. 924) are for grilles made of Oak, Pine, Birch or Cypress, in the white, hand smoothed, ready for finishing If shellaced and varnished, ready to put in place, add 16%. If finish is desired to match color of trim already in place, sample will be required. Prices are quoted per lineal foot, and by measuring the width of opening, it is very easy to arrive at net cost of grille. For arch opening give exact width and height. Grille drop will be the same as noted with Illustration, but can increase grille drop on any design at a slight advance in cost. When in doubt as to kind of wood—take Oak. Oak is always appropriate anywhere. All grilles under 4 feet will be charged as if 4 feet long. All grille work is special and must be made after order is received; therefore, we should be given at least two weeks time in which to have such work gotten out. Prices are quoted f. o. b. factory, subject to discount applying to this book.
