In 1955, this company had one of the most modern dry kilns, and best equipped finish and millwork factories in New England. They kept their kiln dried flooring and interior finish in heated storage until it was delivered to the customer, to prevent joints from opening and cracks from developing during the first winter's heating season. The catalog includes wallboards, lumber, wood flooring, Armstrong linoleum and tiles, entrances, doors, windows, plywood, mouldings, stairs, mantels, kitchen cabinets and appliances, nails and hardware, paint, bath fittings, wall tile, shingles, roll roofing, insulating siding, mason material, fireplaces, and more. A nostalgic look at this longtime New England family business, and a unique snapshot of mid-century modern building materials.
