result of intelligent reveled effort in styl
in*, it ,, with p.e,Mn S
balance and good proportion mak
ing the new furniture the most at
tractive and comfortable ever pro
c’uced.
W. A. Heason, president of the j
Henson Furniture Company, left
j on Sunday, July 3. for Chicago to j
attend the mart,
“It is very difficult to give an
description of the :
accurate new
Swedish modern,” said Mr. Hen
son. “For the most part, it is grace
iul with smooth flowing lines, tap
e red legs and a beautiful delicacy
of line—neither period nor modern
but a harmonious blending of the two
that is livable and understandable,
“i expect to study this style trend
very carefully,” Mr. Henson said.
and I feel it is ready for a perma
nent p i ace j n the style picture, 1
shall include it in our new stock.”
Swedish modern, it was explained
at the American Furniture Mart,
ie c e ived its name from the fine
s j mp j e designs first originated in
g weC 5 en which have been popularized
in America and Paris.
j n the Swedish modern de
s jg ns s nown in this country are
more American than Swedish, it was
p 0 j n ^ e( j out ^ the Chicago exhi
bjtiQn building, for American de
s j gners have adapted the new de
signs to American requirements,
using American woods and Ameri
can designed covers. The original
Swedish modem has been re
tained, according to reports, to dis
tinguish the style from the popular
streamlined modern which preceded
it.
Latest Trends Seen
Mr. Henson reviewed all of the ;
latest developments, including new
ideas in room settings, latest trends
in period styles, and new floor cov
erings. major appliances, lamps, bed
ding, juvenile merchandising and
everything for the American Furni
ture Mart, the world's largest home
furnishings center, according to
Henson officials. They will return
with many suggestions for the homes
of the people of Covington.
Approximately 9,500 buyers from
furniture, departmnet nad specialty!
stores in all 48 states and several;
foreign countries are expected to
attend the market between July 5
and 16. The show is a wholesale
market only, strictly closed to the
F u blic.
Mr. Henson will spend a week at
the market thoroughly checking the
displays to find the lines best suited
to the needs of families here, and
olfering the greatest value. The mer- will'
chandise purchased at Chicago
be shown here throughout the com- j
, ng season.
Light Woods Reveal
Light woods, in natural warm
wood tones, will continue to be high

Improvements At
Conyers Restrooms
hu D Bible n . , , School 0 , ,
_
Many splendid results have follow- j
ed the Community Bible School, '
held in the new building of the'
Conyers Baptist Church and held
under the auspices of the local
churches. But one of the most tan
gible of these has been the im
provements made in the City rest
room located in the heart of the
business district.
Each year the older boys and
girls select a Service Project. Be
sides making things in their Hand-!
work Period which they can take
they wish to follow the Christ
ian Spirit and do something for
others. The Restroom was selected
for this year.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Jeff
Hollingsworth, Mrs. Carl Sims and
Mrs. T. H. Barksdale, this work was
accomplished. The city furnished
some of the money needed and the
School supplemented this sum. As
a result the rooms were thorough
ly scoured, new curtains were made
and hung. a set of springs were
placed on the infant’s bed. a new
mattress was provided (the gift of
Mr. Jeff Hollingsworth), a flower
stand was made, and furniture was
freshly painted.
This is a call to all those who
have occasion to use the Restroom :
that we may cooperate to keep it
clean and tidy, and that visitors
coming to our city may see that we
take pride therein.
