EDISON HELPS NEwLY.wEps.
His Latest Idea, Concrete Furniture,
Enables Them to Make Display.

West Orange. N. j., Dec. 9.-Thomas
A. Edison. who recently announced he
would make 1t possible to build con-
crete house for $1,000, went further
yesterday and declared that in the near
future he would put on the market
concrete furniture so that newly weds,
instead of adorning their homes on the
installment plan with $3.50 worth of
dubious chairs. tables, etcetera, can in
vest 5000 and rival "palatial resi-
dences" with their display.
The inventor has made a reinforced
concrete cabinet for the phonograph
and pieces Of furniture made in the
new way are on their way to Chicago
and back to show what they can stand
in the way Of resisting handling by
freight men.
The concrete surface can be stained,
Edison claims, SO as to look like any
kind Of wood desired.
