Superior workmanship and highest grade ma
terial is the whole aim in our screen selections.
No one item in building material has been so
frightfully abused as screen windows and doors.
Cheap, shoddy screens are being offered to the
public which hardly last one year. Such screens
are manufactured from any old kind of lumber,
and the poorest screen wire is used.
Not so with Eclipse screens.
