In Building, You Want to Get
The Best of Everything

No matter how good your architect
may be, or how conscientious your
workmen, if your accessories are poor,
the house will be shabby in less time
than it takes to tell it.
The locks, hinges, sash-locks, etc.,
are a small part of a building, but it
will repay you many times for the cost
and trouble, if you make a proper selec-
tion. Cheap goods are really the most
expensive, for they do not last
Our building hardware has a repu-
tation for excellence. We are pre-
pared to furnish what you need and
warrant its giving satisfaction.

ous New Year.
