It certainly lacked the structure and the style o f today, even when you go back the 49 years when we first stepped into the business. Veneered surfaces were rather subject to warping, drawer bottoms were made from single sheets of wood and in time dried out and cracked. But what seems even more im portant to us than style, was that .people back in those good old days couldn't afford good furniture even when it existed. That's in sharp contrast with today, when even the most modest home can afford good furniture that is better than the best o f half a cen tury ago, and what is m ore striking is that only the most practiced eye can tell much about the cost.
