A TYPICAL COLONIAL REPRODUCTION 



The term "Colonial" is r.iuch 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 

 bt)ards 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 & Gay pieces are recognized 

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

 reputation has been growing tintil 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.

Grapes are heavy consumers of Potash, 

 which must be renewed in the soil if the yield 

 of the vines is to be kept up. 



Potash 



at the root of the vine means a profuse yield 

 of luscious clusters on the frame.
