Description

Color: Black; Blue A catalog issued by the King Sash, Door & Lumber Company, 1919. The pocket-sized artifact has a dark blue cover, the front of which has a border of diamond shapes. Within this is the company name, a general list of specialities and, at the bottom, the company address. Introductory information, directions on ordering, a list of official grades of quality for sashes, doors and blinds, and a list of standard window opening sizes are at the front section. From page nine are product offerings, including a variety of windows, including clear leaded and some stained and painted glass types; many kinds of sashes and sash details; window blinds; varieties of doors, including entrance, screen, cupboard, garage, interior, mirrored, accordion, and those with wood panels, glass and combinations of the two; door parts; complete front entrances; store fronts; porches and porch details; colonnades; wainscoting; stairs, staircases, and parts; built-in furniture, such as nooks, buffets, cupboards and cabinets; fireplace mantels; moldings; pergolas; and church pews, pulpits and seats. For reference at the back there is a list of window weights by opening size; a glossary of trade terms; and a separate section (or book) of moldings. Prices generally accompany the listed items, though in the molding section the prices are in a separate list. The document concludes with an index. In fair condition, the document's pages are generally fine with some creases and light surface soiling and the covers have more wear and soiling with the binding weakened somewhat.
