Miss Anne Morgan, President of
the American Woman’s Association,
whose vision, faith and energy were
largely instrumental in creating this
great club-house. Miss Morgan says:
“ Although the A. W. A. Club-house
was designed primarily to meet the
needs of the progressive business and
professional women of New York City,
our transient rooms are always avail
able for visitors, and those who come
more frequently to New York we look
forward to having join us as members.
“Our bedrooms are not only colorful
with gay chintzes and tinted walls, but
models of ease and convenience. Sim
mons Beds, Springs, and Mattresses
have been used throughout and since
1 use them myself 1 know of their
comfort and reliability.”
M rs. VV. K. Vanderbili, who. as Chairman of the Fur
nishing Committee, worked directly with the decorators,
Burnet-Clark, Ltd. She says, “We had to budget our
selves very carefully, yet we felt we must not economize on
our sleeping equipment none but the finest beds would
suffice for women who need their rest. Our choice was
Simmons! These pleasing beds in charming wood finishes
and gay colors were perfect for our needs.”

women’s club-houses! And what a tribute
to the rare idealism and boundless energy of
its President, Miss Anne Morgan, and to the
exquisite taste of its Chairman of f urnish
ing, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt.
The lovely private rooms are havens of
rest and comfort. As Mrs. Vanderbilt says,
“We wanted to give our residents, women
who lead busy, active lives, a place where
they might live in privacy and yet among
their friends! Sunny, cheerful rooms that
would rent from $lO to $25 per week were
our goal.”
Economy and comfort were of primary
importance. Although strictly budgeted,
Mrs. Vanderbilt achieved these charming
rooms at a very moderate cost though she
used only the finest quality furnishings.
She says, “We felt none but the finest beds
would suffice for women who need their rest.”
Simmons Beds, with their durable finishes,
were Mrs. Vanderbilt’s choice throughout.
Each of the 1250 rooms has its Simmons
wm*» t.«r—n
