That's what they all say when they arc served at Bren

WHY NOT A
Red Cedar Chest
Just the thing in which to store your furs and unseasona
ble clothing. Red Cedar does not possess that offensive odor
of moth balls, yet it serves the purpose just as well, and these
chests are absolutely dust-proof. They are light, built on cas
ters, and can be put in an out-of-the-way corner until you are
ready to use them. Strongly bound with brass strips, making
them durable, and one will last a natural lifetime with careful
usage. ' -v. jv.v,i - '
Compare it With a Season's
Storage
One season '8 storage will almost pay for a Red Cedar
chest, and you have something to show for your money. Use
it as a linen chest if you wish it is the best you can get for
any price. Each one is provided with lock and key.
