This bronze identification plate is on every 
piece of Karpen Furniture. Look for it. 
Have you a “room of dreams?’’-—a room 
bespeaking the restful dignity of good 
taste, which, for one reason or another, 
has as yet failed to materialize ? 
I should like to help you make it come true— 
and I believe I can. Of course your real 
reason is probably economy. You believe 
that its consummation entails more of an 
outlay than you care to make at the present 
moment. 
prepared recently a Book of Interiors. It is designed 
for those who appreciate the social asset of a well- 
appointed home, and tells them how to have it 
— economically. 
When I had finished the manuscript, I showed it to 
Mr. Adolph Karpen, America’s foremost furniture 
craftsman. And because he said it realized his own 
dream of making the distinction of Karpen furni¬ 
ture available to even the most modest purse, he 
purchased the right of publication from me, so as 
to give the book away with his compliments.

It reveals the subtle art of supplying color and 
atmosphere, instantly, to rooms otherwise dull and 
uninteresting. It tells the woman in moderate cir¬ 
cumstances how to have the things she thinks she

The New Ideal 
Sincere simplicity is the keynote of today. 
Not the extravagance of discarding and 
refurnishing, but the economy of gradual 
replacement—the common-sense plan that 
brings luxury without noticeable expense.

ties now are advocating it. Re¬ 
sults are remarkable. The small 
expenditure of today achieves 
the distinction of the large one 
of yesterday.
