U.S. Government booklet reports: High annual 'dividend' for homeowner from replacement window investment "An investment in storm windows (or insulating* glass) will pay for itself in a decade, including interest costs at 6%, and thereafter will return an annual divi­ dend on the order of 13%" in many areas of the nation. This statement, is quoted from a U.S. Government booklet prepared by the nation's Office for Consum­ er Affairs, the Department of Commerce and other agencies with the coopera­ tion of the Ad Hoc Commit­ tee on Fuel Conservation. The booklet cites "Seven Ways to Reduce Fuel Con­ sumption in Household Heating through Energy Conservation."

The early nineteenth cen­ tury marked the beginning of co-ordinated bedroom furniture, and with it the use of the armoire in Amer­ ica, because built-in closets were unheard of at the time. Since there always seems to be a shortage of closet space in the home, the arm­ oire remains a popular bed­ room piece today. Beauty coupled with utility have helped it endure through the centuries. Many other furnishings used today have historical significance, such as the Queen Anne English in­ fluence or early colonial themes.
