T homas Chippendale 
inherited ability as a wood car¬ 
ver and cabinet maker, and pos¬ 
sessed inspiration. Within little more 
than a quarter of a century he grew 
in popularity until his "shop" was a 
fashionable center in London, and 
therefore in Europe. Discriminatingly 
able, with a wonderful sense of value 
in design and execution, he touched 
nothing he did not better. 
Q If you have a genuine Chippendale 
piece you know what it is worth; you 
know the workmanship it called for, 
too. Our workmen, many of whom 
have been with us for more than forty 
years, make faithful studies of Chip¬ 
pendale’s best efforts. We often say 
that they think the thoughts and work 
with the hands of the old masters in 
furniture. In their productions you 
secure the spirit of Chippendale. 
Q{ We will send you free our "Trav¬ 
elogue" on Chippendale, or for five 
two-cent stamps our entire series of 
"Travelogues in Furniture." 
Q Berkey &- Gay furniture is sold in 
the better furniture stores throughout 
the United States. In addition to the 
display on their floors, our dealers are 
supplied with our complete portfolio 
of direct photogravures, showing our 
entire line of upwards of five thousand 
pieces of high-grade furniture. 
Q "Character in Furniture," our de luxe book on period studies, is 
mailed to you for fifteen two-cent stamps. It is very interesting.
