for every owner of a DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CAR

With

ith no owner of a Dodge Brothers Motor Car is it a question of whether he will add accessories, but of what accessories he will add. This is not to imply that the Dodge Brothers Car is not a wonderfully complete and efficient car as it is delivered from the factory.

It means simply that a car, particularly a Dodge Brothers Motor Car, stirs in all of us the same old jealous affection which, as boys and girls, we used to feel always for the favorite among our possessions. This feeling within us is just plain human and likable a sign that we're not yet completely withered with the heat of the day, but still capable of enthusiasms. It is also good common sense, an effort to increase the safety and return from our investment. But strict care should be taken in the selection of these accessories-and also

of the supplies SO necessary in running the car. The market is stocked with supplies that are harmful and with accessories that at best are useless-in a deliberate attempt to exploit the owner's pride in his car. How do you know what accessory equipment will best serve your purpose in adding to your comfort and enjoyment in the use of your car?

MAYCLESE DESIGN

MAYCLE

AYCLESE design and construction is a reflection of the by-gone days when beauty
followed good construction. Consider our Concord chair, for example. It is a
hand-made chair of the Jacobean type, made in this country up to 1740. The wood is
selected Maple and Pine, quaintly finished in the golden-brown antique tones, with sof-
tened edges and corners. In the photograph it does not look particularly comfortable,
but it is. The arms are nicely curved and placed rather low so that it will fit close to the
library or dining-room table. The back has been very much slanted to give additional
comfort and style. It is a piece that will excite the interest and admiration of your
friends, a piece that may well go down to your children as an heirloom.

TO accurately appraise the remarkable quality

and value in Mayclese furniture you must
know that it is hand made; that our production
capacity is very limited; that it is not handled
by the "shops"-you are obtaining it direct from
the makers. It is only because of this that it is
possible for you to obtain such pieces at prices
that will not ordinarily buy the most ordinary
factory productions. We suggest that you pur-
chase one of these chairs. We know that you
will be delighted with your purchase, and that it
will suggest other uses for additional pieces.

What is Mortise and Tenon
Construction?

THIS is an unusually fine type of construction
to-day found only in the best hand-made
pieces. It is clearly illustrated above. It is the
type of construction used in Mayclese pieces.
In the instances of Chests, Chairs and Tables,
the upright members, called "posts," have cut
in them square or rectangular voids. These
voids are called "mortises." These are made to
receive a member cut on the rails or stiles.
These members are the "tenons." They are
fitted nicely together. Then, when tightly as-
sembled and glued, a wooden wedge-pin is driven
through both mortise and tenon. No nails, no
screws just fine cabinet work. Mortise and
tenon construction insures permanency. The
antique furniture we now treasure survived the
centuries because, mainly, this type of construc-
tion prevailed.

To-day many builders of furniture use only
dowel construction, which is by no
ideal.

means

It is this unusual craftsmanship, as well as the
pure design, that puts Mayclese furniture abso-
lutely in a class by itself.
