Solution For Material Shortages
Fabricated Masonite Replacing Shortage of Plywood,
Fibre-Board, M e ta l and Plastic in Defense Program
But it has only been in recent
years that Service Industries,
Inc. perfected specialized equip­
ment for bending, die-cutting,
punching, shaping, routing, lam­
inating and finishing Masonite
on a commercial basis. It is a
fixed policy of this company to
make no completed products but
simply to furnish parts to the
industrial trade. Its Research
Division assists in developing
new applications for the special­
ized use of Masonite and its En­
gineering Department assists in
designing, planning and estimat­
ing the customer’s require­
ments.
The shortage of many basic
materials as a result of the vast
National Defense Program has
caused many a company to
search for and experiment with
substitute materials. Masonite,
which is made entirely of ex­
ploded wood fibre, is commonly
used where resistance to abra­
sion, high strength and low
moisture absorption are re­
quired. It is an ideal material
to use because it has all the qual­
ities of density, strength, dura­
bility, smoothness, workability
and beauty. It will not crack,
warp or chip.

Special finishes have been
perfected which make it possible
to duplicate any finish that can
now be used on plywood, fibre-
board or sheet metal.
Manufacturers of coin opera­
ted machines have found it diffi­
cult to find a material that would
stand up under rough usage.
Ordinary wood very o f t e n
cracks or warps and is costly to
maintain. Metal machines be­
come unsightly when they are
dented and the paint or enamel
chips off. Cigarette machine
cabinets, phonographs and any
similar article may be made
just as economically of Fabrica­
ted Masonite, has just as smooth
a painting surface, has more
strength and durability than
other materials, and will not
warp or splinter. It will out­
last and outlook virtually every
material used in the manufac­
ture of these products.
There is absolutely no waste
and the customer gets service
and prices that were not possible
before.
A 16-page brochure— “ FAB­
RICATING TO SPECIFICA­
TIONS WITH INDUSTRIAL
MASONITE” will be sent on re­
quest to Service Industries, Inc.,
2035 Calumet Ave., Chicago. An
open invitation is extended to
visit the plant and to see the
hundreds of uses of fabricated
Masonite.
