No article of furniture lends itself more readily to environments 

 reflecting; refined taste than the Globe -Wernicke "Elastic" Bookcase. 



Therefore, it naturally appeals to those who exercise careful judg- 

 ment in the selection of holiday gifts. 



Our new catalogue is replete with helpful suggestions on attractive 

 arrangements for home libraries. 



It also describes some new units which we have recently added to 

 our line, including desk, cupboard, music, drawer, magazine and table 

 sections, and clearly defines certain mechanical features of construction 

 and finish that influence careful buyers to purchase Globe -Wernicke 

 Cases — the only kind equipped with non-binding door equalizers. 



Bookcase units furnished with leaded or plain glass doors, and in 

 whole or three-quarter length sections. Finished in antique, weath- 

 ered and golden oak, imitation and real mahogany.
