INDIVIDUAL LIBRARIES FOR NEW HOMES One of the many advantages which can be gained by adopting the Sleke^Wcrtncke Bookcase is the opportunity to create an individual library in any room in the house. This enables every member of the family to have their favorite books accessible, where they can read them on any occasion, without risk of being interrupted or interfering with the pleasure of others. Because Slobe^V&rmcke sections are so suscep- tible to clever decorative effects, it is easy to change the arrangement of the units to meet new conditions—a feature entirely lacking in the solid or built-in bookcase that always remains and al- ways looks just the same, and consequently does not always harmonize with the interior decoration of the room. Builders of new homes frequently select differ- ent finishes for different rooms. S leW^Vcrt) ickc Sectional Bookcases can be obtained in fourteen different finishes of quartered oak and mahogany, both dull and polished. The new catalogue, just being received from the press, shows many new interiors in colors that are wonderfully at- tractive and will appeal particularly to those building, or con- templating building, their own homes. Another advantage of the Stokc^Veroieke Sectional Book- case is its solid construction. In case of such a contingency as fire, the units can betaken out with books intact, which is impossible with units of col- lapsible or knockdown construction. Many valuable libraries have been saved from total de- struction, because their owners took the precaution to store them in StoW^V&rwicke sections. ♦♦ The Name "9&W3&r»i&t is your protection against inferiority of construction, as well as your guarantee and assurance of being able to secure duplicate units at any future time. A copy of this new catalogue for home builders will be sent FREE, together with a complimentary list of "The World's Best Books." " Anyone who is planning to establish a library will find the ' World's Best Books,' published by the Globe-Wernicke Com- pany, a very compact and useful collection."—"Brooklyn Eagle.
