Showroom of The Craftshouse 



liTe World Has Been Ransacked 



Out-of-the-way places in the Orient and Europe have given 

 up their treasures. 



John S. Bradstreet & Co. have them, and they are now in 

 the Craftshouse in Minneapolis. 



It is to this place that the lover of the unusual, the uniquely 

 decorative, the rare, must turn to get the most choice in bronze, 

 tapestries, lacquer work, etc., because they are obtainable in no 

 other place. 



To be known as a ' Firadstreet piece " gives a value to a 

 piece of furniture that is me?sured by its beauty, oddity, handi- 

 craft, taste and artistic feeling — not simply by its commercial 

 conception. 



Write for our brochure and let us further explain how we 

 can fill your decorative needs.
