Part 2

Did you ever stop to realize that you spend more than one-third of your life in your bedroom? This, indeed, should be a restful room! Curtis hanging closets, dressing tables, window seats, tray cases afford compact, accessible places to put away personal belongings, and economize floor space, making even a small bedroom spacious. There are dressing tables of two sizes, both with adjustable side mirrors and a fascinating little bench. The tray cases have sliding, open-end trays of various sizes and are enclosed by one of the regular interior doors, so that the room may always be neat. The hanging closet includes shelf, hanger-rod and shoe rack, and has a raised floor that makes it unusually easy to clean. The dressing table, tray case and hanging closet may be used in any combination, and may be installed in a house already built, if you wish.

Bedroom slat doors are invaluable, especially in warm weather, to increase ventilation while maintaining strict privacy.

Near the bedrooms and bathroom, a Curtis linen case is indispensable.

Here and There About the House

Many an old house can be made more livable and many a new one insured greater appreciation by adding one or two features here and there that may perhaps not be necessities, but which will make the home more beautiful, cheerful or convenient--make it more of a home. Such things as a bay window, a dormer, a dining alcove, built-in tables, radiator enclosures, hanging china closets, and medicine cabinets are among these.

A bay window is a delightful addition to any room. It affords a view up and down the street that an ordinary window does not allow, and also takes advantage of sunlight and breezes from three directions. A dormer may supply light and air for some unused space in the attic and add interest to the roof lines.

Curtis radiator enclosures with iron grills solve a perplexing problem in an attractive manner. A hanging china closet takes up no floor space, and is more appropriate and decorative than a picture.

How You Can Obtain Restful Rooms

Not long ago, the only way the builder of the small house could obtain such things of beauty and comfort as those described on the foregoing pages was to have his lumber dealer order them from his manufacturer, made to the architect’s special details. This was a very expensive process, so expensive, in fact, that as a result of it architects’ services were largely slighted, and consequently, builders obtained uninteresting, ill-proportioned woodwork that could not possibly produce restful rooms.

The Curtis Companies have changed all this. Architectural authorities have designed practically every item of Curtis Woodwork. You can buy this architectural woodwork for what you would have to pay for mediocre designs made-to-order.

Go to your dealer and ask him to show you his Curtis catalog. It will give you specific information concerning sizes and other details. Selecting your designs of woodwork from the Curtis catalog is one of the safest steps you can take toward obtaining restful rooms. Look for this trademark

+CURTIS+

It identifies every genuine piece of Curtis Woodwork. You will find many imitations of Curtis designs and some that are claimed to be just as good. But without this trademark you do not receive Curtis quality--an intrinsic value that unites appearance, utility and Curtis intent.
