In the Interest of Finer Craftsmanship
There's a Veil, Sometimes
Blue and Often Gray
over the mountains seen from Bedford
(his morning, but there is no sign of last
wight's thunderstorm save the swollen,
muddied creeks.
Last night's thunder echoed and re
pchoed back from over the hills, and far
gway a flash of suggestion that the
upheaval of mountains was witnessing
the never-to-be-forgotten record that this
old earth must bear a part of the curse
spoken in Eden by its Maker.
Nevertheless, how wonderful and
beautiful its mighty forests, rolling hay
fields, waving corn fields and the wheat
fields, where the reapers have bound up
the grain and heaped the sheaves into
shocks, that from the distance seem to be
damps of soldiers ready for battle !
i Surely the earth is the Lord's and
America is our glorious heritage.

(Stl;FIyrCiral) :
THIS is, no doubt, a very good age to
live in, but we hope it will not be
known in history as the age of stereo
types, for there is such a possibility. '
The very ingenuity and resourceful
ness which are so good and helpful in so
many ways seem nevertheless to make the
inspirational barrenness and lack of fine
original effort all the more pronounced.
Good work is undoubtedly being done, but
it is all too true that a great deal of the
workmanship of the world is lacking in
the great qualities which give things a
perennial appeal and permanent vogue.
There is still as good timber in the
woods as ever grew. There are more
ingenious devices for shaping it, and un
doubtedly it is shaped and wrought into
things at which from a purely me
chanical standpoint the great old master
cabinetmakers would open their eyes in
wonder, but when the style, the outlines,
the contour are examined, how frequently
we find a stereotype, a mere mechanical
reproduction turned out from a factory
as automatically as a baker turns out
loaves of bread from his ovens.

into a machine at one end of a factory and
come out at the other end a piece of Chip
pendale or Louis XVI furniture. But a
great deal of what is called "period" furni
ture looks as if it might have been made
that way. When we sell anybody a suit
of furniture we always like to know that
it is a "period" reproduction in more than
the name ; that it is not a stereotype, that
it is worthy of the man or the age after
which it takes its name.
Some furniture designers have a feel
ing for what is essentially best in various
styles of furniture, and it is always inter
esting to observe how their work stands
out in contrast with the reproductions that
reproduce everything of the old original
but the spirit of it.
We have been buying furniture and
selling furniture and studying furniture
so long that we can almost make our way
to the master designs blindfolded.
We sell such unparalleled quantities of
fine furniture that the finer and purer
types naturally gravitate toward this
