The windows, doors, trim and cabinet work for the Jones Mode! Home were manufactured by the Curtis Cos., of Clinton, lowa, and supplied through their local rep- resentatives, Rackliffe Bros. C Ine. In buyi windows, doors and interior trim, as in buying any other important commodity every one is seeking the greatest value per dollar. Modern business has demonstrated that this greatest value can be attained when the product is manufactured in quan- tities.. Quantity production of course, can only be obtained by limiting the output to certain sizes, certain woods and certain patterns, all of which have been adopted as Standard after long expericnce in meeting the needs of home builders. In the derign of the windows and sash furnished for the Jones Model Home, as well as in the design of all Curtis wood work, the co-operation of a representa- tive section of the architectural profession, has been wought. Their suggestions have been ap- design — materials — construc. tion methods and workmanship, It is interesting to know the process through which windows, as manufactured by Curtis must B0 before they are completed. After seasoning, the lumber that is to be used in making Curtis windows, goes first through the cutting department, where it is cut to usable widths and lengtha. Then'it goes through & planer to be surfaced to an even thickness and is sorted according to the use that is to be made of it. Longer and wider pieces go to the door department while the narrower and shorter pieces are used in windgw making. The first opera- tion in making Curtis windows are to cut these short pleces to exact lengths apd to make the mortise tenons which hold the wood parts firmly together. The tenoning of the bottom rail is performed on a machine called a “double end tenoner” because it machines both ends of the stock at the same time, . Through mor- tises are cut in the stiles to mem- ber with the tenons of the bet- tom rail, 8lip mortises are cut in the stiles to member with the top and check ralls, forming a joint that when pinned, will resist the up- ward‘and downward thrust of opening and closing the windaw. Only the bottom Tall of the bot- tom sash has a through tenon in- stead of a slip tenon for still greater strength at the needéd point. The next operation is fo make the rabbetted check rail and at the same time mould the rail to receive the glass, This is done on ome’ machine. The small wood bars which divide the smaller - glass ' into _panes, are movulded in the same way in win- dows which are to have these smaller panes. A chisel mortiser cuts holes in the stiles and ralis to receive the tenon on the divid- ing bars and hold them firmly. The next operation is to cut a groove for the sash cord and bore the holes for the cord iron. This is accurately done on a machine designed for that purpose. The comipletely machined sash is then trade marked. The various ma- chine parts then are sent to the assembling department where they arc assorted according to size and design, the component perts being placed on ‘s special clamping machine to Mold them securely while steel dowels are driven in and set, all of this work being done- automatically on a machine designed for "-the pur- pose. A special feature of Curtis windows and casements is the putty groove which forms the key or additional anchorage to hold the putty in place and pre- vent it from loosening. Rackliffe Brothers, in glazing Curtis win- dows, have always made it a rule to thoroughly bed the glass in putty, which means before the glass is set into the windows, the | muntins must have a coating of putty, The glass is then put in and the final coating of putty ap- plied. This prevents undue leak- age. ‘The manufacture of doors, both exterior and interior, is another very interesting process. When one buys a door, all that is vis- ible on the door is its design. You do not see how it is made unless it is & very poor job in- deed. Underneath the good looks however, there must be depend- able construction if the door is going to stand up under the hard wear and exposure, such as many doors receive. In general, there veneered. Hardwood doors are always veneered. With the excep- tion of certain white pine doors, the model home job are Curtis’ C-3020, a 6 panel Colonial door and in keeping with this style, the front. door selected Is a Curtls C-1065 which is a 14 panel with & small four lighted opening. All 'are made of white pine. Inside the stiles and rails of the veneer- ed door, there is a core composed of small pleces of pine. Blocks are fed through a special core machine which rips them to uni- form width and thickness and glves them a tongue and groove and also applies the glue, Curtis, in their process of manufacture, have produced a watérproof glue, second to none on the market to- day. As these core blocks come through the machine, they are immediately tranaferred to a large iron topped table where they are assembled into either stile or rail cores of the correct width with a, strip of the face veneer wood on each edge. When the table is filled with these built up cores, they are securely clamp- ed together and piled on cars or trucks. Just ps sgon as sufficient time has elapsed to allow the glue to set, the clamps are removed and the cores are pll on cross sticks and put into s drying box to remove ahy excess moisture which tho cores might have as- sumed in the. gluing process. They are then put through a spe- cial dressing machine to prepare them to recelvp the face vencer. The face veneer is then applied to both sides of the bullt up core— a special machine known as a glue spreader, applies the wat proof Curtis formulae glue to both faces of the core. While one man puts thesd cores on to a. heavy ' retainer plate, two others place strips of selected face veneer on both flat surfaces. From 60 to 125 stiles make up a load, depending on their width and thickness. A heavy top platen is then let down on the load and the whole is then rolled into a hydraulic press where a pressure of 350,000 pounds is-ex- erted during the time the retain- ing clamps are applied, removing every possible vestige of surplus slue. Each load is then removed from the press, is picked up by our. head crane and is set to one side for a sufficient time to per- mit the glue to set before fur- ther work is done on the mate- rial. The stlles being now fully veneered, are removed from the FIRE SALE | are two kinds of d 3 3 plied to the several problems of | pf A000s, wull ai all Curtis _interior ' doors are | veneered. The doors supplied on | retainers and run ‘through a ma- chine which' trims and chamfers the ends. The chamfer, which is nothing more than a slight bevel, prevents damage to the veneer as it is handled in subsequent opera- tions and during transportation. Door rails are simply cut square at either end. Now that the door rails and stiles have been made ready for completing the door it- self, the firat step is to bore the atiles, Powerful jawas of a spe- clal machine, designed for the purpose, hold the stile perfectly flat and straight, while the holes for dowels are bored according to the particular design of door that is being made. Next they pass through & machine which smooths one edge of the stile and holds the other, forming a groove for the panel of wood or glass, making a moulding which adds so much distinction to Cur- tis doors. While this work. on the stiles is going on, the rails are going through a machine which cuts them accurately to length and shapes them on both ends, then tho surfaces are planed and one or both edges are mould- ;ed. Door rails are next bored for dowels. Glue is put inte the i holes and the dowels inserted. A special machine has been design- ed which does all of this work dutomatically. Panels are care- fully surfaced and sanded and are then run through a special ma- chine known as a panel raiser. They are put through first end- wise and then sidewise to give them the effective raise with per- fect mitres at the corners. The panels of all Curtis doors are much thicker than the average door, so that the raise in the panel ean be made much greater and more distinctive. The stiles, rails and panels are now as- sembled in a door clamp, glue is put intg the dowel holes in the stiles just before placing in the clamp, which presses the parts together into' a completed door. Each Curtis door is then given a thorough sanding on both sides, is then trade marked, inspected and sent to the warehouse for ship- ment to the dealers. In order that doors may be re- celved as cleanly as possible by the dealers, large canvas tarpau- lins are placed over each car of Curtis millwork. This keeps the material inside, free from cinders and dyst-and incidentally, rain. The front entrance door on the Jones Model Home is a door of character and distinctiveness. Its design is worthy of the small house where it is the main ex- terior feature or of the . large residence, where it must blend in as'a harmonious part of the whole building design. From the making of the door core to the perfect mitreing of the smallest moulding, every process is per- formed in the most modern and approved manner, The :Curtis trade mark on any dpor, win- dow or frame assures' the buyer it is mad€ in a factory where the making of woodwork for homes is a fine art. Trim and cabinet work as man- ufactured by Curtis, is worthy of particular note. Most of us when we select furniture are chiefly concerned with its design. This is equally true whether we are buying regular. moveable furni- ture or built in variety, that last word in convenience of the mod- ern home. In fact, it is design, more than any other quality in our furnishings which determines desirability—but after all, com- mon sense tells us that If any plece of furniture is to retain for long its attractive appearance, there must be right construction, ®ood workmanship, below the surface, Curtis cabinet work is real built in furniture—there is nothing shoddy about it, The con- struction features which are about to be described are typi- cal of those used in the manu- facture of Curtis cabinet work all the way through. Speaking gen- erally, the face stock ef furniture is 1%-in. thick. This compares with the %.in. ordinariy - used. This added thickness is & protec. tion against warping and gives extra strength. - All but the very smallest drawers in Curtis cab. inets are made with corners dove- tailed and glued. This forms s strong neat joint which will met open up nor allow the drawer te get out of shape. Backs of per- manent furniture and drawer bet- the grain and the 'two outside layers is at right angles to the grain of the inside ply, thus insuring against warp- ing or splitting. Shelves in Cure tis cabinet work are adjusted by means of metal pins, fitting inte holes bored Into sides of the cgb. inet. ‘This feature epables one te use the space most economically. Attention is also called to the fact that every drawer s with & center gulde which pre- vents the drawer from sticking or sliding in crooked. In kitchen cabinets, bread boards are buiit up to prevent warping and have an applied front edge for nest appearance. In order to insure against damage in shipmient, all Curtis ironing boards, medicine cases, are shipped in strong dups able cartons — dust, soot and waterproof. Careful packing means bright, clean, unmarred material, conveniently delivered and ready for installation. The Jones Model Home s equipped throughout with Curtis interior trim, where smepthn and perfect contour is essestial, for interior trim is both @ beau- titul and finished elemest of-the interior background. These qual- ities are attained in Cubtis :trim by cavefully adjusted machines, run at properly regulated’gpeed— each moulding is made tem. plet,.cut from eolid steel. This eliminates even the slightest vari. ation in pattern. Well choscn Curtis trim is an important fac- tor in carrying the architectural motif of your house through the interior. Only perfect. waods are used in. making : Curtis trim— resinous, sappy, checked, knotty or otherwise imperfect wood, is rejected. The selected material is thoroughly kiln-dried 6 .pre- vent warping, cracking and curle ing, then the trim is run on ma~ chines which cut the mouldings accurately and. uniform, produc- ing smooth, satiny surtaces that are ready for peint: or.varaish. Curtis trim requires less preparatory work on'the part ef the paigter—ieas sand papering, less thing up. Interest in Curtis woodwork ef correct and: beautiful desigm, is increasing by leaps and bounds the country. over. Mr. Rackliffe has just returned from the Curtis factory where a conference ef dealers, some thres hundred i number, representing ‘ths Curtis Cos., in twenty-six different states, has just completed its delibera. tions and passed on the ‘designs for new material for nest year. Curtis are constantly striving to bring out new and architecturally perfect items so as to guarantes to the home owners, the very latest in beauty, convenience, durability and economy of design. —advt, STARTS TOMORROW We will sacrifice our entire stock and the public will benefit by it.
