 Flush Veneered Doors 
 
 LUSH veneered doors have no panels. They 
 have a flush, even surface like a slab of mar¬ 
 ble. This preserves the beauty of the veneer 
 and gives the door a sweep and character not 
 possible to obtain in the old style panel 
 doors. 
 
 From an artistic as well as from a practical 
 standpoint, they easily take first place, and 
 from a technical standpoint they possess 
 many distinct advantages over all other doors. 
 
 Their popularity is based on solid reasons: 
 
 They are beautiful. 
 
 They are sanitary. 
 
 They retard fire and sound. 
 
 They will not shrink nor swell. 
 
 They improve in appearance with age. 
 
 In fine woods, like Mahogany and Circassian Walnut, they 
 are less expensive than the old-style doors. 
 
 Our doors are extremely moderate in price, averaging the 
 same as doors in the usual run of residences but possessing a 
 stability and beauty far beyond them. There are no mould¬ 
 ings nor any other uneven surfaces upon which dust may 
 lodge. The surface of the door is smooth and unbroken, a 
 feature which will appeal to all housekeepers. 
 
 The Roddis Lumber & Veneer Co. were the first success¬ 
 ful manufacturers of this type of door. More than twenty 
 years of successful experience has taught us how to handle 
 veneers to produce the best results. 
 
 We manufacture large quantities of Quartered Oak and 
 Mahogany desk tops for the leading desk manufacturers. 
 We build our flush doors along the same correct mechanical 
 lines.

 The Story of the Manufacture of 
 Roddis Flush Veneered Doors 
 
 !!!IIIIII!MI!III1IUIIIIII1II!III!I!IIIIIIIIIIIM 
 
 T HIS is a Short Story. It tells something' of how the RODDIS 
 FLUSH VENEERED DOORS are made, but it does not tell, 
 except between the lines, the expenditure of energy, money 
 and time it has cost to develop the high degree of perfection 
 shown at the Roddis Plant, such a degree of perfection as has chal¬ 
 lenged the admiration of every expert who has visited our works. 
 
 One of the largest contracting firms in the world says, “We were 
 surprised at the extent of the equipment of your plant. We consider 
 it one of the largest, if not the largest, of its kind in the country.” 
 
 experience In the first place, we have had 22 years of successful 
 experience in the manufacture of glued-up stock. Wherever fine 
 desks and furniture are made our product has won recognition as 
 the best on the market. 
 
 WE OWN OUR 
 OWN TIMBER 
 LANDS 
 
 To protect our supplies we have purchased and own in 
 fee twenty-eight thousand acres of choice Wisconsin 
 timber land. On this are millions of feet of birch, 
 elm, oak, ash and other native hardwoods. (We have erected our own 
 saw mills and built through the forest 20 miles of our own railroad.) 
 
 IMPORTERS OF 
 MAHOGANY 
 
 TREATMENT OF 
 THE CORES 
 
 We are large users of mahogany, which we buy in 
 the logs in the markets of Liverpool where our 
 agents select such logs as best meet our requirements. We use no 
 “BAYWOOD” nor any other substitute for mahogany. Wherever 
 mahogany appears either in our catalogue or price list, it may be 
 depended upon that the wood priced is the best African, South Amer¬ 
 ican or Mexican Mahogany. 
 
 The cores or center stock of our Flush Veneered 
 doors are subjected to a treatment in addition to kiln 
 drying which removes all acid from the wood. This leaves the stock 
 with the fiber sound but lifeless, with the warping and twisting quali¬ 
 ties destroyed and in perfect condition for receiving the lamination of 
 cross banding and face veneers. 
 
 hardwood Hardwood bands seven-eighths of an inch thick are 
 bands inserted in both sides and across the top and bottom of 
 
 the edges of the doors. When the veneers are applied these bands 
 practically hermetically seal the core in an airtight compartment 
 where no moisture reaches it. The door will then stand without warp¬ 
 ing, shrinking or swelling, and if no accident happens to it, it will last 
 as far into the future as the Pyramids are distant into the past.

 gluing ON the Through long experience we have learned how to 
 veneers apply veneers. We have discovered a method which 
 
 practically prevents blisters appearing on our doors. 
 
 matching The veneers from each log are kept separately in piles or 
 veneers bundles called “flitches” and are carefully matched to bring 
 out the natural beauty of the wood. In quartered oak we use nothing 
 but sawed veneers. We use no “sliced” quartered oak whatever for 
 our doors. 
 
 drying Our veneers for our flush veneered doors are dried in a 
 veneers great Philadelphia Textile Drier. This machine is 110 ft. 
 long. We have found it necessary in order to properly dry out our 
 stock to install this machine. We feel we could not make a door up 
 to our standard or one which we would guarantee without it. 
 
 drying OUT the doors This is essential to the proper manufacture 
 AFTER GLUEING 0 f a door. Our FLUSH VENEERED doors 
 
 are dried thoroughly after gluing and before sand papering. 
 
 sand papering In addition to sanding our doors on the best of “drum 
 and polishing sanders” we do not allow them to leave our factory 
 until they have been put through an additional process of sanding and 
 polishing on belt sanders, so all our doors are polished and hand 
 cleaned ready for finishing when they leave our factory. 
 
 veneer The cutting of veneers is a story in itself. Beginning with 
 mills (dm pii es 0 f logs a third as high as a ten-story building, 
 
 it is an interesting sight to watch them pass over the tramways from 
 the yards into the machines. As one stands and watches them 
 disappear into the mill he begins to understand the reason for the 
 vanishing hardwood forests of America. In they go at the rate of 
 one a minute, logs that represent the best part of a tree. From 
 the equalization saws the logs are plunged into the steaming tanks 
 and from there to the veneer machines. 
 
 there is The large choice sheets are saved for the doors and all the 
 NO waste res f i s u tiii zec i f or panels for a hundred purposes of a 
 thousand and varying sizes, so there is no waste. Having a place for 
 every piece there is no temptation to “let it go” when a large sheet 
 develops a defect of any nature. The defect is eliminated and the 
 sheet is cut up into stock of smaller requirements. 
 
 crating for One satisfied customer said, “The doors were packed 
 shipment so carefully they would have made the journey to 
 
 China safely. It is of no advantage to make fine work and then 
 pack it so carelessly that it is all marred when it reaches its desti¬ 
 nation. 
 
 the roddis In this way the RODDIS QUALITY is maintained and 
 quality our FLUSH VENEERED doors have elicited many fine 
 
 letters like those on succeeding pages.

 CONCLUSION This in brief is the story of the RODDIS FLUSH 
 VENEERED DOOR. It is something of a compensation to manufac¬ 
 ture an article that has given such universal satisfaction all the way 
 across the continent from Ellis Island in New York harbor to an 
 island off the Pacific Coast.

 To Whom It may Concern: 
 
 Thie is to certify that the doors for the 
 
 Studebaker Administration Building in South Bend, Ind¬ 
 iana, were made by the Roddls Lumber and Veneer Company 
 in their plant at Marshfield, Wisconsin. Our repre¬ 
 sentative visited their plant at Marshfield twice during 
 the time these doors were being made, and was surprised 
 at the extent and equipment of the plant. We believe it 
 to be one of the largest, if not the largest, of the kind 
 in the country. 
 
 The doors were highly satisfactory In every way, and 
 since being Installed by us about two years ago have given 
 perfect satisfaction. We have not had one word of complaint, 
 either from the owners, the Studebaker Manufacturing Company, 
 o W the Architect, S.S. Beman. 
 
 Yours very truly.

 The severest teat we o*n oonceive of was inadvertantly 
 given pime of your panels and wainsooting in our offioe, aoon 
 after same were installed. The plumbers and steamfltfcera aool- 
 lentally loft the cap off a steampipe olose to some of the 
 panels. Hot -steam poured out on to the surfaoe all night, but 
 beyond talcing off the finish, to 6ome extent, it did not injure 
 the paneling at all. 1 was really remarkable—did not check

 A little more than two years ago we built a new home 
 on Plymorth Road in this oity. All of the doors are the flush 
 panel type, manufactured by toe Roddis Lumber & 7eneer Co. of 
 Marshfield, Wisoor.sln. 
 
 These doors have proven very satisfactory in every . 
 respect. They have held their shape perfectly regardless of 
 the varying temperatures and humidity of two summers and two 
 winters. The workmanship and finish is excellent. The match¬ 
 ing of the veneer and the treatment of the inlay indicates 
 rare skill. The flush panel door being smooth is easily 
 cleaned and is more sanitary than any other type of door. 
 
 Your doors have been greatly admired by our friends 
 and are a source of much satisfaction to ourselves.

 Dear Sir: 
 
 In regard to the Sterling Laminated Flush Veneered Doors, 
 manufactured by the Roddis Lumber and Veneer Co., which 
 were used throughout the Swedish Baptist Theological Semi¬ 
 nary in this city, I would like to say as the Architect for 
 that building that they have given universal satisfaction. 
 
 The grain, especially in the oak doors, is the handsomest 
 I have ever seen and the workmanship and finish all that 
 can be desired. The almost soundproof quality of these doors 
 has been mentioned to me. 
 
 I am specifying them for the new Bethel Academy.

 that they have gone through three years of wear, I think it

 Roddis Standard Construction 
 
 Our STANDARD Flush Veneered Doors are made five-ply as 
 shown in the illustration on the next page. The cores are dove¬ 
 tailed and glued together. There is a continuous hardwood band %" 
 thick entirely around the door core. The cross banding is glued over 
 this core and the face veneers are laid perpendicularly. The hardwood 
 bands encase the core as in an air-tight compartment, keeping the 
 core dry and preventing the door from shrinking, swelling or warping. 
 
 thickness of For all interior doors, the thickness of the cross band 
 veneers for and f ace veneers is 1 16" thick, making a total thick- 
 interior doors negg 0 f j am ; na ^ e( j w00c j thick on each side of 
 
 the core. This construction we consider far superior to any three-ply 
 door made up with single thick Vs" or heavier faces and glued to any 
 kind of a core. We estimate the breaking strength of our construction 
 at least four times that of a three-ply door made up with Vs" single 
 
 thick faces. 
 
 Veneers on pianos are 1/28" thick and we do not recommend the 
 use of faces any thicker than 1/16", our STANDARD CONSTRUC¬ 
 TION for interior doors. There are many practical reasons why this 
 construction is the best, which space here forbids us to enlarge upon. 
 
 One very important reason is that the joints in the faces of 
 doors which are made up with heavy veneers will open after the doors 
 have been in place a short time, and cracked varnish or finish on the 
 surface of the door is the result, because the thick veneers not 
 being thoroughly permeated with glue, yield exactly like solid 
 lumber to atmospheric conditions. Briefly, a lamination of thin veneers 
 is the best and most satisfactory construction for interior doors, a 
 construction which resists all atmospheric changes and conditions. 
 Piano manufacturers and other makers of high grade cabinet work 
 have known this for years, but the fact has been overlooked by most 
 door manufacturers. 
 
 thickness of We adhere to the five-ply construction. Weather 
 
 veneers for conditions demand and the requirements of outside 
 
 nIf!*!!*finish do not forbid the use of thick veneers on this 
 
 FRENCH DOORS 
 
 type of door. Accordingly, our STANDARD front, 
 or exterior door, and French door are made with Vs" faces with cross 
 band the same as for interior doors, i. e., 1/16" thick. 
 
 We do make this class of door with t/ s " cross band and with 
 Vs", 3/16" and 14" faces, but we recommend our STANDARD 
 CONSTRUCTION as more satisfactory. 
 
 Architects, engineers and owners probably experience more trouble 
 with the doors than any other feature of the building. The ordinary 
 door shrinks in dry weather and swells in damp. We have overcome 
 this trouble by the use of laminated construction. This style of con¬ 
 struction cross bands the core and veneer and prevents shrinking and 
 swelling. We have demonstrated this to be a fact under very adverse 
 conditions.

 mouldings All muntins, glass stops and mouldings of all kinds are 
 of the same wood as face veneers of doors; accordingly a divided 
 opening door veneered Mahogany one side, Quarter Sawed White Oak 
 one side, will have Mahogany muntins and glass stops on the Mahog¬ 
 any side, and Quartered Oak muntins and glass stops on the Quartered 
 Oak side. 
 
 edge All doors made up our STANDARD CONSTRUCTION have 
 strips edge strips of plain woods. Doors veneered, with White Oak 
 or Red Oak, Quarter Sawed White or Red Oak, have Oak edge strips; 
 doors veneered with Birch, Mahogany, Walnut, Yellow and White Pine, 
 Whitewood, Basswood and Maple have Birch edge strips; Elm and 
 Cypress doors have Elm edge strips; Ash doors are made up with Ash 
 edge strips; Circassian Walnut have Red Gum edge strips. 
 
 At a small additional price we can supply edge strips on all doors 
 of the same wood as face veneers. 
 
 inlay We inlay in plain Grecian lines, and can furnish crests, 
 WORK monograms, inscriptions, numbers or any designs of inlay, 
 details of which may be submitted. 
 
 Inlay work is our specialty, and we believe that we have the best 
 and most complete method of inserting inlay in woodwork. 
 
 Inlay work is of wood and is the full thickness of face veneer. 
 Our standard widths of inlay lines are as follows: !/s'\ 3/16", 
 6/16", 7/16" and Vz These lines consist of a single strip, a 
 
 two-ply strip or a three-ply strip made up of various combinations of 
 woods glued together.

 Usually for one-line inlay work we use a three-ply strip 5/16" 
 wide, and again for two-line inlay work, an outer three-ply strip 5/16" 
 wide and an inner one-ply strip i/s" wide: The three-ply strip with 
 White Holly outer plies and Ebonized Maple inner ply; the one-ply 
 strip of White Holly. 
 
 In inlaying doors, when not otherwise specified, a margin of 1" 
 is left between the inner and outer inlay lines, and unless otherwise 
 stated, we inlay all plain flush doors with 6" stiles and top rails, 
 14" bottom rails; all sash doors with stiles and lock rails, same width 
 as stiles and top rails around openings, and with 12" bottom rails. 
 
 The woods we usually use for inlay work are White Holly, White 
 Maple, Turkish Boxwood, Mahogany, Black Walnut and Ebonized 
 Maple (a substitute for Ebony which is even better for woodworking 
 purposes than Ebony). 
 
 One of the unsatisfactory features of veneered 
 exterior sash doors is the soaking and consequent 
 loosening of the veneers by the action of moisture 
 and dampness penetrating the door between the 
 glass and glass stop. We have overcome this by 
 putting a hardwood weather strip 3/16" to 1/2" 
 thick of same wood as face veneers, full thickness 
 of the door, under the glass. This protects the 
 core and turns aside all water. 
 
 This illustration shows our usual method of 
 protecting outside flush doors by use of weather 
 strips. These strips are placed beneath glass 
 openings of all flush veneered doors used for exte¬ 
 rior purposes. 
 
 A—protecting weather strip. 
 
 C—glass stop. 
 
 Cross section of bottom rail 
 
 Where exterior flush veneered sash doors may be exposed to severe 
 weather conditions, we recommend the use of additional weather strips 
 as shown in illustration No. 2. These additional strips are placed 
 around the sides and top of glass opening, thus protecting core at all 
 exposed points. 
 
 C—glass stops.

 Front Entrance and French Doors 
 
 On the following pages we show some designs of 
 front doors in very general use, also some designs of 
 French doors which are rapidly becoming most popular 
 with the trade. 
 
 Unless otherwise specified, all doors will be made 
 up RODDIS STANDARD CONSTRUCTION, the details 
 of which are given on Page 27. 
 
 All the outside doors, as shown on Pages 57, 58, 
 63, 75, 76 and 82, as well as all French doors, are stile 
 and rail construction, but have the distinctive feature 
 of the top and bottom rails being made with the grain 
 of the face veneers running the same way as the face 
 veneers on the stiles, thus giving the openings the 
 appearance of being cut out of the solid. This adds 
 greatly to the artistic appearance and in no way 
 impairs the strength of the door. These doors are 
 encased in a hardwood band and are in fact made up 
 RODDIS STANDARD CONSTRUCTION throughout. 
 
 We do not guarantee outside veneered doors where 
 they are exposed to severe weather conditions, and are 
 compelled to take this position because good finishing 
 is the exception rather than the rule. All outside doors, 
 whether veneered or made from solid lumber, should 
 be carefully protected with good paint or the best grade 
 of outside varnish. This painting should not only 
 include the surface of the door but particularly the top 
 and bottom edges. 
 
 When properly protected with good finish, we 
 believe that our outside doors are the best and most 
 satisfactory door that can be used. Where exterior 
 sash doors are exposed to severe weather conditions, we 
 recommend the use of the additional weather strip as 
 shown on Page 29 of our catalog. 
 
 RODDIS flush veneered outside doors have stood 
 the test of severe weather conditions.

 on faces but also on edges. Final coat can either be left in the gloss 
 or finished with a rubbed finish. 
 
 Do not under any circumstances use shellac on exterior wood¬ 
 work since weather affects same to such an extent that in a very short 
 time entire finish, no matter how many coats of varnish many be 
 applied over the same, will be ruined. 
 
 CAUTION—Do not store or hang veneered doors in a damp 
 building. Doors shipped in the white, immediately on delivery, should 
 have faces stained and shellaced or filled and shellaced. Edges should 
 also be given one coat of good paint with the least possible delay. 
 It is a fact well known to all woodworkers that seasoned and kiln 
 dried lumber in the white when exposed to the air absorbs a large 
 amount of moisture.
