Friday, April 11, »»<» Old Hickory Furniture for Porch and Lawn a 1 tr> The approach of wanner weather makes us think of things out of doors. Cleaning op the lawn—getting the' flower beds in shape, etc. To really enjoy the lawn and flowers a family needs a few comfortable pieces of furniture on the porch and lawn—chairs, swings, , settees, etc. These pieces must be strong, proof against bad weather, and above all com fortable. At the same time the style must harmonize with the out-of-doors surroundings. .All of the above requirements are met in Old Hickory. This line of porch furniture"is made in a wonderfully in teresting craft shop. All joints in the woodwork are made by drilling and doweling. The wood used is the scaly hark hickory saplings, with the bark left on. The seats and backs are woven from hickory bark, which makes a comfortable, springy seat that will wear as long as the chair itself. * .^_^__^__^^a Take a few ■ Utes time and W m see this interest- ■ V in.-' line of -inn- D m ____■___■! 11"'1' furniture in m^-ma^-^ ll2l] 111 1131 * I I i 111111111111111 ] 11.111111111111111111111111111111 i 111 > 11111111111111111111111 1 Is the United States Government Safe?
