A roomful here of handsome, cleverly contrived Cedar Chests made up as window seats, adaptable as a couch. Plain, in Fumed Oak or Mahogany piano finish, Cedar lined. But it's the within of these chests that is most interesting. Lift the cover and the fragrant breath of the red aromatic heart-wood of the cedar fills the air. Every living thing likes the fragrance of the cedar except moths. Moths simply fly from it. That is why these chests are fashioned to care for waists, coats, hats, muffs and other goods. Our prices start at $5.50 and run up to $25.00. Suppose you see them.
