Dining Room Suits
That Interpret Faithfully the Period
They Represent
Here is the popular William and Mary, a carload
having just arrived, including many other f..-e period suits
Hyplewhite, Adam and Queen Ann.
The Beauty of Period Furniture is that exquisite line
and proportion. Succeeding generatic s have not been able to im
prove upon these noble designs of past centtr ,They stand
unrivalled today, expressed in fine w ods, e e y finished; they
bring the genius of the past into ou es.
Yet Period Furniture is urprisingly Inexpensive
when one considers that it will last a lifetime and may be cher
ished by our grand children as their proudest possession.
We Invite Your Special Attention to Our Period
Dining Room suits in mahogany and walnut. If you are planning
to refurnish soon, they will greatly interest you as the prices at
which we have marked them are much below present market prices.
