Macey Book Cabinets are the first sectional bookcases ever built-after the designs of the old masters. These old masters. Sheraton, Chippendale, Robert Adam and Fra Junipero, were as graat in Furniture as Shakespeare in Literature, as Mozart in Music, as Michael Angelo in Painting. The new Macey Book Cabinets are the only sectional book* cases that can be added to, both upward ami sideways, and still not look like sectional bookcases, but like heirlooms of furniture. Can be taken from or rearrangedwithout destroying their beauty and styls. So artful is the cabinet work that dealers frequently havo to take them apart to convince customers that they are sectional. Macey old master designs harmonize with any furniture you now have, and are made in such variety of popular prices, sizes, woods and finishes, that they fit any requirement of space or purse. ' N Macey Sectional Book Cabinets are built under tbe ditoedoa of Mr. O. H. L. Wernicke, the father of sectional bookcases and President of The Macey Company. Mr. Wernicke’s name ie still used in the corporate title of a competing firm, with which . he has long since had no connection.
