FURNISHING THE HOME
I. UPRIGHT AND OCCASIONAL CHAIRS
With this issue we start a new series in which we shall illustrate each month fourteen examples of one item of furniture, with particulars of designers, prices, etc. Variety of price is taken into consideration as much as variety of design and it is hoped that the series, when it is complete, will be a useful guide for all purses to the complete equipment of the home. In the next issue Easy Chairs will be dealt with.
