No door but Laminex could withstdnd: this test

After days and weeks of soaki^g, Laminex shows no tendency to shrink, swell or warp

IMAGINE punishing a common I door, a6 we do Laminex! Continu. ous soaking for days; now heat and steam; now wet, now dry again.

Of course doors rarely get such treat. ment; but you know when Laminex proves its ability to stand so muchwith. out injury, you can be sure it will never shrink, swell or warp on its own hinges.

A celebrated architect said of Laminex, "It is not the wood, but the way it's put togetrher and the waterproof cement that holds it together." Besides using built up panels, we build up the stiles and rails. The core is a veritable brick wall for rigidity - an interlocking of blocks with the grain crossed in adjoin. ing sections. All parts are welded with a wonderful waterptoof cement, then placed under tremendous hydraulic pressure for 24 hours.

There are millions of Laminex doors in use. And being nationally known, they add to the salability of propertv.
