These offices rvere designed to fulfill a long-needed function, that is, to offer a display of plyrvood in its practical application in a place available to the architect, builder and lumber merchant.

Plywood material, rvhich has been tested through many years of use, is, comparatively speaking, a recently developed product. It is only through modern production methods that its cost has been brought to a point where its general commercial use is almost universal.

The treatment of the offices is modern for simplicity of line and form rvhich direct the vision of the observer undisturbed to the beauty of the material itself. Color is used to attract attention, because this is after all a merchandising concern, and to suggest the suitability of their material for other merchandising concerns, such as department stores, small shops, lunch rooms; etc.

The Walnut room is planned to shorv the rare beauty ofa matched hardrvood room and to suggest the adaptability of such material for fine offices and residential work.

The display room, rvith its great variety of hardwoods, is for the special convenience of architects and builders when consulting with their clients and for that purpose it has been furnished with chairs and a conference table.
