  A 
  TYPICAL 
  COLONIAL 
  REPRODUCTION 
  

  

  The 
  term 
  "Colonial" 
  is 
  much 
  abused 
  in 
  its 
  commercial 
  usage, 
  

   nevertheless 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  significance 
  widely 
  recognized. 
  The 
  "Four 
  

   Poster" 
  is 
  decidedly 
  typical 
  of 
  what 
  is 
  known 
  as 
  "Colonial" 
  furniture. 
  

  

  The 
  handsome 
  bed 
  shown 
  above 
  whether 
  in 
  twin 
  or 
  regular 
  size 
  is 
  

   of 
  selected 
  mahogany, 
  finished 
  as 
  smooth 
  as 
  a 
  mirror. 
  The 
  posts 
  have 
  

   the 
  characteristic 
  leaf 
  and 
  feather 
  carvings 
  and 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  foot 
  

   boards 
  show 
  the 
  beautiful 
  crotch 
  mahogany 
  treatment. 
  

  

  Our 
  entire 
  energies 
  are 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  direct 
  reproduction 
  of 
  

   Colonial 
  and 
  Period 
  furniture. 
  Of 
  the 
  former 
  the 
  four 
  post 
  bed 
  is 
  a 
  

   striking 
  example. 
  

  

  Our 
  achievement 
  is 
  such 
  that 
  Berkey 
  & 
  Oay 
  pieces 
  are 
  recognized 
  

   as 
  the 
  standard 
  of 
  the 
  highest 
  class 
  in 
  furniture. 
  Since 
  1859 
  this 
  

   reputation 
  has 
  been 
  growing 
  until 
  to-day 
  our 
  work 
  is 
  not 
  excelled 
  in 
  

   absolute 
  correctness 
  and 
  purity 
  of 
  design, 
  workmanship, 
  construction 
  

   and 
  finish. 
  To 
  those 
  who 
  seek 
  the 
  exceptionally 
  excellent 
  we 
  offer 
  a 
  

   line 
  of 
  bed 
  room 
  and 
  dining 
  room 
  furniture 
  satisfying 
  in 
  every 
  way.
