House and Garden 
home, no matter how modest, it would be well to 
take this fact into consideration. 
Every piece of furniture that comes from the 
Berkey and Gay factory represents time, skilled 
labor, the best material, and the highest type of 
equipment. This is an age of specialization, and 
each department has its expert. A customer buy¬ 
ing Berkey and Gay furniture can purchase for 
a lifetime for it is made to last. 
Anything worth buying is worthy of care; buy 
the best that you can afford, and take care of it. 
Then your great-grandchildren will treasure your 
Berkey and Gay furniture as heirlooms. 
The Berkey and Gay Furniture Company 
makes many costly pieces. Carving, inlay, and 
a great deal of handiwork necessarily render 
furniture expensive. But the point we would em¬ 
phasize is this—that they do make simple furni¬ 
ture also, and at a remarkably low figure consid¬ 
ering the quality. Such furniture is a great boon 
to people of limited means, for it is both beautiful 
and economical. 
Berkey and Gay Furniture Company’s brochure entitled,” Fur¬ 
niture of Character.” gives an idea of their beautiful furniture. 
It will be mailed to those who are interested if they will send 15 
cents in stamps to partly defray the cost, to Dept. B, to this com¬ 
pany at their Grand Rapids address. 
THE AMERICAN NURSERY COMPANY 
HE American Nursery Company 
has acquired all the real estate, 
property, business and good-will of the 
well-known F. & F. Nurseries, Spring- 
field, N. j.. The Bloodgood Nurseries, 
Flushing, L. F,—established 1790— 
Frederick W. Kelsey, N. Y. City and the 
New Jersey and Long Island Nurseries. 
These old established and successful 
concerns will hereafter be conducted as 
branches of the Company under the 
same local management as heretofore. 
The Company with its extended Nur¬ 
series and complete assortments has now 
the largest facilities of any establish¬ 
ment in this country. With these ad¬ 
vantages of economic production, of 
central location, and of unequalled facil¬ 
ities for distribution, and extended direct 
importations of Specimen Trees, Bay 
Trees, Boxwood, Trained Fruit Trees, 
etc. the Company is in position to 
furnish all varieties of fine hardy plant¬ 
ing material in wholesale or retail quan¬ 
tities on the most favorable terms. 
Every requisite for the complete planting 
and decoration of Country Estates, 
Parks, Municipal Street Planting, For¬ 
estry Departments, Orchards, Lawns 
and Gardens, is thus available. Every 
effort will be made to insure the patrons 
of the former establishments the advan¬ 
tages these enlarged facilities provide. 
With hundreds of acres of well grown 
stock now ready for planting, new cus¬ 
tomers may be assured of liberal treat¬ 
ment. Inspection is invited: Also 
D uring the long winter evenings, which are 
now at hand, in talking over the plans for 
the new home to be built in the Spring or 
for the alterations to be made, the question of the 
best fixtures for the bathrooms and toilets is one 
which must be decided sufficiently in advance of 
building, to be sure of having the goods ready when 
needed. 
This important sanitary question has been solved 
by thousands of people, by the simple decision to 
use “Ideal” Solid Porcelain ware bathtubs, sinks, 
and laundry tubs, and either “Ideal” Solid Porce¬ 
lain or “Impervio” Vitreous Chinaware Lavatories; 
while the closet bowl and tank should, without a 
doubt, be of the very best hard fire Vitreous China 
syphon jet pattern. 
There is only one manufacturer in this country 
who makes all of the above mentioned goods, and 
who, therefore, can guarantee the same stable 
quality and durability throughout the fixtures. 
That manufacturer is the Trenton Potteries Co., 
Trenton, N. J. 
The Company owns and operates six complete 
factories in Trenton, and is also represented in the 
Canadian trade by the Canadian Trenton Potteries 
Co., of St. Johns, Quebec. 
The following letter we consider a testimonial, 
which will surely appeal to representative house 
builders and house owners, and we also have con¬ 
fidence that after your decision is that your Archi¬ 
tect specify and your Plumber install goods of our 
make, you will feel like writing us a similar letter, 
after having used the fixtures. 
North Adams, Mass., May 9 , 1907 . 
Trenton Potteries Co., 
Trenton, N. J. 
Gentlemen: —I would like to have you send me, if you 
will, one of those little pocket catalogs. I got one catalog 
when I called on you and bought some tubs, but loaned it 
to the plumber, and now my family want to keep one of 
these catalogs to show to our friends who look the house 
over, as the goods are very beautiful. I have two of your 
tubs and three lavatoi ies. Hoping that you will favor me, 
I remain. 
Yours truly 
ARCHER H. BARBER.
