Where There Are Smokers 
there are ashes and often untidy ash-trays. But they don’t remain 
untidy in the home that's Kernerator-equipped. For the Kernerator 
thrives on cigar ashes, broken crockery, wilted flowers, tin cans, gar¬ 
bage and other household refuse. Dropped into the hopper door in 
the chimney flue, they fall into the brick incinerator below. Non¬ 
combustibles are removed with the ashes. No operating cost, for the 
refuse, itself, is the only fuel required. The Kernerator saves time 
and steps, eliminates the unsanitary garbage can, prevents the collec¬ 
tion of inflammable refuse. What other household convenience serves 
so well? 
Ask your architect or write for the interesting, illustrated Kernerator 
booklet.

Nature Colors Your Walnut 
T HE warm brown of American Walnut, the limpid depth 
of color so universally admired, were put there by slow 
working processes of nature, not applied by man. Hence 
walnut does not show dents, scratches, dull spots, as artifi¬ 
cially colored woods are prone to do. And Walnut’s varied 
patterns come from the same hand, giving your dinner table 
its own unique design. 
Unfading beauty, durability, unchanging stability have made 
walnut the king of furniture woods down the ages. Good 
furniture has always been made of walnut.

furniture buyers, in popular form. It is free.

I F only one like it had 
been made, this exquisite 
Greek Pompeian Floor 
Lamp would have cost 
rather more than three 
thousand dollars. The League 
can produce it for lessj 
than on e-hnindredtk of that] 
price, because its member¬ 
ship is so widespread, and 
because it can reach its 
members so quickly. 
Compare Thoroughly. That is Why This Lamp 
is Loaned to You 
After you have received this lamp, we ask that you visit the 
art importers, the jewelers, the large stores and the com¬ 
mercial electric showrooms. See if you can find any lamp that, 
at twice or five times this price, even approaches it in artistic 
perfection. 
We do no “selling’' in the ordinary commercial sense. This 
is all the “selling” that the League has ever needed for any 
of its productions. The lamp must sell itself to you, on your 
own judgment and comparison. 
If it does not. . . .SEND IT BACK—any time within five 
days. We will return your deposit at once and in full, and 
you will he under no further obligation whatever. 
If we could think of any pleasanter, fairer, more confident 
way to offer the League's productions we would do it,—but we 
can not. 
* * * 
When we send you this lamp we will also, if you wish, register you as a Cor¬ 
responding Member of the Decorative Arts League, it being distinctly 
understood that such membership is to cost you nothing, either now or 
later, and is (o entail no obligation of any kind. It simply registers you as 
one interested in hearing of realiy artistic new things for home decoration. 
This low price is a test 
This lamp was designed to sell for $36. We want to see 
if. by offering it at a much lower price, we can secure enough 
orders to cause a great saving in the cost of production and 
distribution, and without a loss to the League. So, as an 
experiment, we are offering it at $19.85. 
For the present, this is only an experiment. We cannot 
guarantee that the price will not be raised. Your Approval 
Request should be mailed at once.
