NE\v PRICE LIST ISSUED ON FLUSH CUPBOARD DOORS

A new price list was recently issued by Western Door & Sash Company, Oakland, on flush cupboard doors. These are fu" five-ply, in both rotary and vertical grain Fir, and they are designed to give better fitting and better finished flush cupboard doors at lower cost.

Points about these doors that are stressed are that the resin-sealed faces take a smooth, perfect paint or enamel finish; there is no checking, and the solid edge strips, 23/s" wide, on each edge reduce the tendency to warp, insure neater finish, and provide a sound reinforcement for locks and hinges; there is a Fir veneer core, and the edges can be easily and smoothly lipped.

The price list has been mailed to all dealers, but any dealer that hasn't received one can get one by writing to Western Door & Sash Company, 5th & Cypress Streets, Oakland.
