The Art of the Ages 



NOTHING adds to the distinction and beauty of the 

 home so much as a few selected reproductions of the 

 world's greatest Art. 



We select rather than manufacture. This ser- 

 vice is free of cost. We strive to acquaint you with 

 the articles you need ; the best at moderate prices. 



We also endeavor to aid you in placing art objects 

 with the best decorative effect in 

 a house, library or school. 



No matter how often you 

 use our Free Information Ser- 

 vice you are not required or 

 asked to buy. 



Let us suggest a color scheme for any 

 part ot the house, from nursery to living or 

 dining room. We can also suggest fur- 

 niture, sculpture in plaster, bronze or 

 stone, rugs and prints, or picture frames 

 which are works of art in themselves.
