is no useless show in our hammock — every cent goes for lasting service and comfort. A 

 cheaper hammock absolutely must be lacking at some point which time and usage will quickly 

 reveal. Our hammocks are the highest in price, but far and away the cheapest by the year. 

 If you want a durable hammock, your only protection is to get the genuine Rowe. We 

 guarantee our Khaki absolutely permanent and not to soil the most delicate gown. 

 Don't buy a hammock without first writing us. A very few high-grade stores are licensed to 

 sell the Rowe Gloucester Bed Hammock. If not convenient to deal with them, you should 

 order direct from us. We prepay delivery charges, and ship carefully packed, ready for 

 hanging.
