O’NEILL NATIONAL BANK •Of ' <«. aJBB — O’NEILL — Member FDIC \ Room Divider Multiplies Storage Room BY EDNA MILES ■J7K3R those whose dream houses are still just dreams, •T American furniture desifpiers offered a number of pieces of interest in recent winter market showings. Outstanding among these is a room divider created to serve a double purpose as partition and storage space. If your family relies upon one room for all aspects of daily living, you might find this piece useful for screen ing off a nook for the baby’s crib, for separating si dining area from the rest of the room, or for shutting a corner kitchen from general view. Storage space—which includes drawers, open counters, and shelves enclosed by sliding doors—is accessible from both sides. The divider (at right) is made up of metal, dimpled and plain plywood, and plastic panels, and stands 59 inches high. It is four feet wide with panels obtainable in seven different colors, which may be combined to suit the purchaser’s taste. Also helpful to those not yet permanently settled is multi-purpose furniture. There’s a trend away from liv ing room or bedroom suites as such, and many new pieces may be swapped from room to room as they’re needed. The two-drawer night-stand that graces your bedroom today might well double as a corner table in your living room next time you shift quarters. ___—- -__ AMELIA NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Estes left Tues day, April 10, for her home at Clio, la.
