A Fixture Hint
Three years ago I tried to help
my sister select a hat. We went
to half tho stores in Portland.
Sho tried on nt least 100 before
finding ono that suited. I didn't
appreciate that method at ail
too much traveling, bother and
hit or miss principle. That
evening I started thinking it
over. Said to myself, wero I a
woman and wanted a hat I would
go to a good milliner, tell her
what 1 wanted to pay, wear the
dress I wanted to wear with the
hat, and have her design me one
a creation to fit me, and me
alone, my beauty, my manner
isms, mv individuality: in short.
just me. That carried another
chain of thought. If hats, why
not electric fixtures?
Furnishings in the home are
very important. Harmonious
colors, good selection of furni
ture and a nice blending of lines
mean a great deal, and a cheer
ful home means a cheerful life.
But after having a room proper
ly furnished you can very easily
ruin the harmony of the whole
bv a poor selection of fixtures.
Now lor the last three years 1
have been studying everything
that would have a relation to
fixture design, architecture pe
riods of furniture, color match
ing. principle of design, shape.
rhythm, sketching, and all things
that help me design and make
the proper fixtures for your
home. 1 am not done, never ex
pect to be, but think 1 am fairly
proficient and ready to try.
Today I want you to call me to
that home of yours and let me
sketch you a suggestion. It
wont obligate you, and it might
help. Fixture prices are mighty
low now, and if you do buy you
will get $l.za value lor every
dollar you spend.
Yours for service,
L. E. GENSMAN.
