18 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 1925 1 SUT TTHTTTTTHIT "Good Furniture Makes the Home" The Neglected Bedroom One third of your lives are spent in the bedroom. The appointments of the bedroom impress you the last thing before retiring--the first thing up- on awaking in the morning. A bedroom suite, which has balance of design makes a founda- tion for a harmonious setting. Harmonious surroundings really make a lasting impression upon the subconscious mind as you slumber. The bedroom suite sketched above is inexpensive, yet con- sistent with BROWN-UMLANDT policy of "good taste." It is artistically designed -- constructed with great care by Master Craftsmen. The burl walnut panels are carefully matched, and contrast beautifully with the exquisit rose wood used for trim. This is a bedroom suite you would not wish to wait to buy at a sale. You can purchase it now, at our "one low, year- round price." We have a line of selected bedroom furniture at prices--when you compare the quality--will make you realize, it is no longer necessary to delay the ful- fillment of your long desire; "to fix up that neglected bedroom."
