“ We make the brick in six colors; viz., red, cream, buff, pink, brown, and gray: thus giving you the choice of a color which will harmonize with or contrast properly with any scheme of surrounding decoration. The sizes of many of the designs can be altered to fit a required space. In shipping the brick, we pack them carefully in sawdust, in barrels, and with every order we furnish an architect's scale drawing and directions, and any intelligent brick-mason can easily set the mantels up. ”

“ In comparing prices of other kinds of mantels with our prices, please bear in mind that to the other prices you must add the expense of the brick or other material for the side linings, the back, the under-fire, and the hearth, while our prices include all these. Ours are far better than any other kinds, but still they don't cost any more. ”

“ It is folly to build a house and put in articles that are passing out of use. The more permanent furnishings should be of the newest designs. That means that the Fireplace Mantels should be of our Ornamental Brick. No other kind combines so many good, practical, and artistic features. ”

“ This design represents a mosaic face made of the same clay as the brick. It is susceptible of a great variety of color treatment. The cornice with modillions will be of wood. The curved shelf to niche should be of marble.
Price of red face and moulded bricks necessary to lay up this mantel, with the mosaic in four shades, from a buff to a red, including the hearth, fire-back and under-fire, $70.
Price of cream, buff, gray, pink or brown bricks, $105. ”

“ Our mantels are suitable for any kind of a room, the selection depending upon the size, the color, the amount of ornamentation, etc. They are substantial and durable, and look just as well in after years as when new. ”

“ The glazed tiles which were formerly used in mantels were found to have such a cold, hard, and glassy look that they have been relegated to bathrooms, elevator shafts, sanitary uses, etc., to such an extent that few people now care to consider their use about the fireside. ”
