Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 14″ ad for their Bedroom Furniture. There is a picture of a lady standing in her bedroom sweeping her arm out to bring attention to the fine Bassett furniture as the headline promises that “Bassett makes it easy for you to be proud of your bedroom!”. The text talks about the four finishes available, being able to choose from a Pastel Finish or Cherry Cordovan on African Mahogany and woods such as American Walnut or Limed Oak. The prices are said to range from an “easy-to-afford $149 to a modest $399” and the text talks about Fine Details such as tough, carefully-rubbed, high-gloss Du Pont “Dulux” finish, a tilting mirror of crystal-clear genuine Pittsburgh-Plate glass and drawers center-guided to slide smoothly”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
