THIS LIVING ROOM GROWS to twice its size, thanks to large Pittsburgh Structural Mirrors which flatter its fireplace. All the color and light in the room is reflected, creating spaciousness by magic. It is significant that Mr. Taurog, a master of telling effects in the pictures he directs, uses Pittsburgh Mirrors and Glass so extensively in his own home. Treat your living room to a mirror wall like this, and find out how the skillful use of mirrors can multiply beauty. (Interiors designed by Mabel Cooper Bigelow and E. Charles Werener.)

LOOKING YOUR BEST IS EASY
when a mirrored dressing room helps you. In hers, Mrs. Taurog selects Pittsburgh Mirrors to give her clear, honest reflections and create the illusion of generous room size. Even her dressing table is faced with mirrors. In decorating your dressing room or bedroom, we suggest Crystalex (Water White) Plate Glass Mirrors for accurate color reflections.

THIS KITCHEN IS CLEAN CAREFREE.
Its Carrara Glass walls won't absorb cooking odors or grease. Occasional wiping with a amp cloth keeps it bright and smiling PC Glass Blocks provide ample illumination with privacy.

LOOK FOR THIS TRADEMARK when you buy mirrors. It assures you of the polished beauty and perfect reflections found only in mirrors made of genuine Plate Glass. And remember, Pittsburgh Mirrors come in these colors: blue, green, flesh tinted, water white. And with silver, gold or gun-metal backing.
