Part of the Salem Group in mellow toned maple and white walnut 
Delightful and original adaptation of 
old traditions in furniture 
Now you can see the New 
Salem Group. For almost a 
year the designs have been 
in process. Models have been 
built and rebuilt, every line 
and detail studied, and quaint 
new features have been em¬ 
bodied that we will not at¬ 
tempt to describe here but 
will let you discover when you 
come to see the furniture. 
Perhaps the best feature is 
that a number of complete 
groups are on hand for imme¬ 
diate delivery at each of our 
three sales offices. These are 
the only places where you can 
see this group and all the 
others shown in entirety. 
If you have been dissatis¬ 
fied with the furniture in your 
own room or a guest room, 
this is your opportunity to re¬ 
place it with something of 
real imagination and charm. 
The pieces are made of maple 
and white walnut and finished 
with a lustrous, mellow, an¬ 
tique tone that is a real step 
forward in the art of finishing. 
Around the panels a border 
design taken from an old 
dower chest is barely visible 
beneath the over-glaze, and 
lends a richness comparable 
only to some choice piece of 
Italian or old Spanish work¬ 
manship,—and yet it is dis¬ 
tinctly American. 
To tell the history of each 
object is impossible here. Suf¬ 
fice it to say that the archi¬ 
tects and decorators we called 
in to criticize the final models 
gave this Danersk Salem 
Group one hundred percent 
approval. The essential quali¬ 
ties are livableness, style and 
beauty. The price is surpris¬ 
ingly reasonable. 
Call now. Decorators and 
their clients are always wel¬ 
come.
