\Vest Coast Screen Co. Announces New Product

As a direct result of the growing use of louvre doors in homes all over the country the West Coast Screen Company, II45 East 63rd Street, Los Angeles, has patented and put on the market a new door which they call the Hollywood Louvre Door.

The new door can be closed to keep out noise or odors, and opened to give ventilation by merely dropping down a panel. It is similar in type to the well known Hollywood combination screen and metal sash door, made by this progressive manufacturer, which has been on the market for more than four years, and is a big seller over a large part of the countrv.

All the architects who have seen the new door have expressed themselves as being very pleased with the novel idea, and they are finding new uses for it every day.

It is ideal for use between kitchens and living rooms, dining rooms, nooks, dens; for bedrooms, children's rooms and bathrooms, in fact, between any two rooms where it is advisable to have alternately a closed or ventilated door.

The Hollywood Louvre Door will be distributed through regular sources of supply throughout the Western territory, and will be sold through lumber dealers. One prominent jobber made the prediction to F. G. Ifanson, president of West Coast Screen Company, that the new door will sell just as easily as the Hollywood combination door when shown by lumber dealers to their customers.

The illustration shows a front view of the door, which is made from California Sugar pine in the company's modern plant.
