INTRODUCTION
THIS
catalog is intended to serve as an aid in detailing and we
will appreciate its use as such by architects, decorators, wood-
workers and others in the trade. As we are constantly adding
new designs to our stock of models it is impossible to represent our
complete line. If ornament required is not shown please write to us
for further information.
We will make models of special design at reasonable cost, and
will quote prices promptly on work of this character upon receipt of
scale or detail drawing.
By the use of compo ornament a better effect can be produced on
woodwork than by using inferior carving, as all ornament is sharp
and clean-cut, and can be furnished in the natural grain and color of
any wood.
On pages 4 to 17 we show a few capitals and brackets of the
principal orders of architecture. We also have many other models
of conventional design, of which we will submit photographs upon
request.
Capitals are made in a fibrous composition for exterior, and in
wood and compo for interior. Our exterior composition has success-
fully withstood all conditions of weather for many years.
In addition to the types of ornament shown in this catalog we
manufacture Duretta, a fireproof fibrous composition that exactly
reproduces plain and carved woodwork. It can be used as a substi-
tute for wood in the decoration of fireproof buildings, and is suit-
able for plain and carved pannelling, mantels, grilles, frames, con-
We
soles, lighting fixtures, etc. will furnish estimates according to
your own designs, or will submit designs made up from our own
models, among which are many fine examples of antique carvings.
Sample sent upon request.

position capitals in all sizes from six inch to twelve inch diameer. Orders

thian, Renaissance, Composite and other capitals with necking, and on figure

Our compo mouldings and other compo ornament, shown on pages 17 to i'30,
are furnished in a pliable state and will stay so for some time if kept moist. It
adheres firmly to wood work when properly applied. It should be well glued and
nailed with brads. Particular attention is called to the condition of the wood.
It must be perfectly dry and free from paint or stain, so that the pores may
be open and allow the compo ornament a clean surface to adhere to. Compo can
be furnished to match any wood finish. When applied on exterior, it should be
backed up with a thick coat of white lead. Full directions for use with each order.
Be sure to give page number when ordering.

or loss in transit, our B/L being guarantee of good order when shipped, also that
number of packages called tor were forwarded. All shortage should be noted
on freight bill and any damage or breakage noted by agent on the same, before

as to the loss.
