house decorating generally has en
listed the Intelligence and clever
handiwork of men possessed oi
superior faculties for decorative
art. The accredited leader in this
section in this important branch of
business is Lester Lindsey who

artistic faculties which have been
perfected by a faithful apprentice

the state. His designs are especi
ally American In taste and ideas;
