Some libraries are of considerable size, required to hold a | thousand volumes; others are small and | cozy, more in the nature of a den.

We shall endeavor to present groupings that will illustrate effects which you can obtain in your own homes—with proper emphasis placed on the value of style observance and quality consideration. There is a revival of popularity for Period furniture. That finds us responsive to demand with examples of faithful reproductions produced in “Furniture of Merit’—creating a display in which we are sure you will find interest.

A Suggestion for the Living Room The furnishing of this important room in the home is not best accomplished by crowding it with furniture. Comfort and ease should be prime considerations in the selection of furniture and its arrangement. For that reason the merit of the group plan finds popular acceptance—because it gives that atmosphere of simplicity and informality which are indicative of real hospitality. The group here illustrated is easily adaptable to individual requirements and our arrangement permits the selection of as many individual pieces as may be desired.
