There is no bottom, no shore,
no floor. You lie at length
and look up. It's a chair and
lounge and hammock all in
one; and the easiest part is
the price.
There are other chairs and
other things beside chairs. We
shall mention only a few Of
the popular ones.
A sewing-rocker, as rolling
as you can imagine and yet
as easy to work in, $4.75-
eight-hundred of them.
Large rocker a great deal
more rolling than you can inn
agine, $40 so. This is the
one that takes you to sea.
Dining chair, $3.50; not SO
very easy.
Hall chair, SAYS; not so
,easyaas neat and appropriate.
Little chairs for children; 81
and more; little sofa for chill
dren, SAYS. Table-chair for
baby, 81.
Foot-stool, 75c. Piano-stool,
$3.50. Coat-rack, $I.25. Towel
stand, quite an elaborate
piece, $I.5o; absurd. Lounge,
a favorite, $I2; ridiculous.
It's all ridiculous.' You, as
we'll as we, are rather fond Of
ridiculous things.
There was nothing in Fair
mount Park ten years ago that
opened our eyes like this same
Brentwood furniture. 1t has
spread from Australia all over
the world in twenty years but
not at such prices as these.
Be quick.
