an envious record for himself a sales

EMF factory at Detroit, Mich, where he
had an opportunity to familiarize himself
with the tremendous manufacturing facili-
ties and wonderful organization Of this,
perhaps the greatest, automobile concern
in the world. that has invested S7,OOOOOO in
machinery and equipment, and who at the
present time are making shipments Of lbs
EMF cars per day, where 1850 men on

about the lghtness and grace OF tho
Hepplewhite tables.
Gorge Hepplewhite was cabinet
maker and designer OF London. He
worked during the last Chippendale
DAYS and was a contemporary OF the
Adam brothers and of Sheraton. he
died in 1885 Two years later his widow
published a book of his designs called
the Cabinetmakers and Upholsterers
Guide. His latest work has all the In
trinsic merits OF the Louis Seize. The
spirit OF this new time in which Hep
plewhite worked is, perhaps, most
clearly learned from the life OF Robert
Adam This designer travelled In Italy
with the longing TO study tho dwelling
houses rather than the greater forms
OF architecture. He made drawings In
western Italy in Rome in Venice, but
found his Inspiration at Spalato In Dal-
malta, amidst the ruins of Diocletian's
| palace. Ii was there that he beca me

was TO have such an after effect upon
English taste
Adam was an architect, but he de-
| signed not only the exterior and in
terror, but every part Of the furnish

was evidently Adam who Influenced
| Hepplewhite in classic lines, and this
| influence Hepplewhite used with erudi-
| tion, but with a light-hearted, natural
| grace Of manner After the pubhca-
tion Of the Hepplewhite designs, they
had a great vogue. which was cut short
by the political events that brought
the heavier Empire into fashion.
