(TRADE CATALOGUE)  STICKLEY BROTHERS COMPANY.  ADAPTING QUAINT FURNITURE TO AMERICAN NEEDS.

Grand Rapids: Stickley Brothers, (1925). Oblong 4to. Stiff flexible boards. (22) pages, 8 mounted colored plates.

Rare trade catalogue with only one copy recorded on OCLC -- at the Grand Rapids Public Library.  Albert Stickley tells the story of Stickley furniture for the salesman "Back of all our efforts are great, compelling inspirations...Therefore it is necessary for the salesman to know what he is selling and the customer  what he is buying..."  The book is divided into: 1. The Story of Progress told by Furniture of all Ages; 2. Practical Furniture for a Practical Age; 3. Lessons in Coloring from Nature's Law; 4. What "Quaint" means in Furniture Design; and 5. Beauty and Utility in the Stickley line.  Very good.
