Would You Have a Chrome
On Your Wall?

G hrOmo manufacturers buy
original paintings at thousands
of dollars apiece and then turn
Out thousands of duplicates at
about a dollar each. The re-
prints are worth no more than
their priCe-they are too COM
mon. Any home can have
them. They cease to possess
an art value because art
means individuality. There
is art in merchant tailoring be-
cause every n1ade-to-Order suit
is unlike every other one. But
there is no art in chrome
clothes which are made TIP by
wholesale for everybody
everywhere. The man who
wouldn't have chrome on his
wall shouldn't wear a chrome
