Justen & Son furniture and undertaking establishment of West McHenry, returned from the Winter Furniture Show at the American Furniture Mart, Chicago, tells an interesting story of a growing chair which was exhibited by the Lloyd- Manufacture ing company, makers of baby carriages and fiber furniture. The Lloyd company had on display, *nerely for the interest of dealers visiting their space, a chair which was grown by John Krubsack a central Wisconsin farmer. Probably no display at the furniture show, automobile show or good roads convention, caused such wide interest and attention as the chair. According to the story of the grower, twenty-eight box elder seeds were planted by Krubsack in 1908.

In the entire chair there is not a nail, screw or artificial joint, all were grown together by grafting. The chair is a wonderful example of what Mother Nature will do if given a little time and help by man. The chair, now highly prized by the Lloyd company, is valued at more t-h^n $4,000 and is one of the greatest curiosities ever shown in a national exposition. Thousands of dealers, visiting the show, spent considerable time studying and listening to the interesting story of the creation of this, chair and the remarkable ingeuitfty and patience shown by the grower. ; flyH • ,x> For health and appearance sake beware the splintery /loir.
