Owing to the fact that work men are unobtainable and our fine reproductions of period fur niture in mahogany are almost prohibitive in price, due to the tremendous increase in the cost of materials, I have decided to withdraw from business rather than resort to handling an in ferior grade of furniture and so reduce the high standard I have always made it a policy to up hold in my shop. I have an excellent collection of period furniture made in our own shop. And as most of my stock constitutes but one of a kind of most desirable pieces, it is absolutely essential that you make an early call in order to take advantage of this rare op portunity. Awaiting the pleasure to wel come you at my shop, I am. Respectfully yours, S. KUGEL & SON.
