RED GUM

AMERICA'S FINEST CABINET WOOD

has "arrived." It now competes only with Circassian Walnut and the finest of Mahogany, and does so upon a basis of equal desirability in the eyes of the most discriminative buyers. RED GUM offers a tremendous price advantage. TRY IT.

Note this SUPERB RED GUM FURNITURE and TRIM in the DIRECTORS' ROOM, UNION NATIONAL BANK, STREATOR, ILL.

(Building, equipment and furniture designed and executed by E. Jackson Casse Co., Chicago.)

A convincing fact as to RED GUM'S growing prestige is that it enjoys increasing demand among the best judges of value-artistic value, utilitarian value and economic value. (There are no other kinds.) "GUM HAS COME."

Furniture Manufacturers and Furniture Retailers who wish detailed proof as to the salability, dependability and commercial desirability of RED GUM, are invited to correspond with GUM LUMBER MANUFACTURERS' ASS'N
