THE FRED MACEY CO., Limited. MAKERS OF HIGH GRADE OFFICE AND LIBRARY FURNITURE, GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. New York " ~ ~ • Boston 343 Broadway. 178" Federal Street. Philadelphia N. E. Cor. 13th and Market Sts. Chicago * Washington 152 Wabash Ave. Bond Bldg. Gold Medal Awards Highest Awards at both the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions on pur high- grade Office and Library furniture. At Buffalo but one in twenty exhibitors received the Gold Medal. Out of over 15,000 ex- hibits in the entire Exposition only 39 received Gold or Silver Medals for artistic installation — the “Macey” exhibit was one of the 39, the ONLY furniture manufacturers so honored. Correspondence Department, Main Office, Grand Rapids, Mich. Information In describing furniture certain terms are used which will be better understood after read- ing the following brief statement regarding quality — design — style — construction — finish, etc. “Built-up Stock” — Is made by placing several layers of thin lumber and veneer cross-wise one on the other, and all glued together under immense pressure, and where this construction is used it is absolutely impossible to swell or shrink and gives increased strength with light weight. “Quarter-sawed Oak” — Is produced by selecting the very best oak logs. These logs are then quartered .' 5 nd boards cut from these quartered pieces in such a manner as to produce beautiful flaked grain effects. This is “quartered oak,” and is much stronger than plain sawed oak, and is quite expensive. “Anti-friction Drawers” — Means that drawers with this special construction will never bind or stick and is a feature that will be appreciated by those who have been annoyed with drawers that swell and stick. “Knock-down” — (K. D.) — Construction means that a desk so made can be quickly taken apart by simply removing a few screws — a very desirable feature when it is necessary to take a desk through a narrow doorway, up stairs, etc. ‘ Double Deck” — Is a term used for writing beds and tops of roll top desks, where the writing bed and desk top are made double thick giving extra strength to both of these important parts’of a desk. “The Pedestals” of a desk — The two upright end pieces upon which the writing bed rests — are made in three regular styles as follows : Style A — The most popular style — has large drawers in the left pedestal, and several letter files under lock and key in the right pedestal — (see page 6). Style B — Has large drawers in both the right and left pedestals — (see page 5). Style C — Has drawers in the left pedestal, and book-stalls in the right pedestal — ( see page 7 ) . “The Macey Pasquil Locks” -Are used in all roll top desks for locking the roll curtain— are different than other desk locks for the reason that it is a double-lock — locking the curtain at both ends of the desk. It also displaces the old style strike plate and lock in the middle of the writing bed — this is the latest and best possible desk lock ever invented. “Automatic” Drawer Locks — These locks are used for locking and unlocking the large drawers in all desks. In roll top desks, simply raising the roll curtain unlocks all drawers, closing the curtain locks the drawers. In the flat top desks, unlocking the top drawer in the pedestals automatically unlocks the other drawers. “Letter Files” Where letter files are included with the desks they will be supplied with our regular “Macey” Indexes without extra charge. “Roll Curtains” Are made by the latest improved machinery and methods of construction, and are without doubt the best made and most easily operated curtain ever put in roll top desks. All curtains are supplied with “Macey- Pasquil” locks and extra heavy lock rails that will not sag or warp. “ Designs-Sizes-and Styles” — The design and style of each desk is indicated by its number and the size of each desk is indicated by its length, its width and its height. “Anti-friction Casters” — Are used on all desks. None but the best casters are used on all our furniture and the latest improved “Anti-friction” Construction does away with the screech of the old style caster and also makes it possible to move the heaviest desk with ease. “Dust and Mouse Proof” — Means that the drawers of each pedestal are protected from dust and mice by means of a good bottom on each pedestal. Those who have been annoyed with mice invading desk drawers and destroying valuable papers will appreciate this feature. All our desks are made with it. “Velvet Finish” — The beauty of a piece of furniture depends very largely on its finish. This velvet finish is produced by first giving the natural wood a coat of stain and a coat of filler to secure the desired color. It is next given a coat of shellac and then several coats of varnish. After the varnish is dried, it is hand rubbed and hand polished which takes off the glare of common varnished furniture and gives in its place a beautiful — soft — “velvet” — satin-like finish that not only intensifies the beauty of the wood but makes it easy and pleasant to look at. It is the ideal finish for Office and Library Furniture. The above — together with our Guarantee and Liberal Terms (seepage 1) and the detailed description of each desk cannot fail to insure our customers perfect satisfaction. Pigeon Hole File Boxes We make four styles of pigeon hole file boxes and each the best of its kind. All file boxes illustrated and described with each desk on the following pages are included in the price of the desk, but extra file boxes will be supplied at the following net prices. All file boxes are made to fit pigeon holes 3 inches high, 4 y 2 inches wide and 10 inches deep (inside measure). Styles 1, 2 and 4 are also made in 9 inch length. Style No. 1. Quartered oak front, nicely finished, having polished solid brass label holder pull and jute- board body with oak grain effect.

Drop-away front (patented) , having quartered oak front and nicely finished, with solid polished brass label holder pull and jute-board body, oak grain effect; metal reinforced corners. This box obviates the necessity of removing the intire box to consult its contents. Simply pull out the box a few inches and the front drops down just far enough to expose the entire con- tents. The simplicity, neatness and thorough convenience of this box makes it popular. Price each, net . . 20 cents. Style No. 3.

Gold Medals For superiority of design, material, construction, workmanship and finish we received the Gold Medal, the highest award, at both the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions. See page 1. 3 Closed View, Style “A” and -‘C” Notice rich matched grain effect. All “built-up” stock. Style — Quality — Finish Good workmanship — beautiful woods well put together —richly finished — tastily trimmed — and “No Panels” — is the style that now marks all High Grade desks. It gives a rich — plain — substantial — yet elegant effect that never fails to please. The construction also is more durable and not expensive. We were the only exhibitors of desks at the Pan American and Charleston Expositions using this style of con- struction and for superiority of design — material — construction — workmanship — and finish, we received the Gold Medals — The Highest Awards — at both Expositions. This style of construction has also been adopted for the desk of the President of the United States for his personal use in Washington — another good endorsement. The illustrations on this and the following pages give only an idea of the fine effects produced. The article itself, however, must be seen to fully appreciate its true elegance, and our confidence that the design — material — construction — workmanship — finish and price will not fail to please, is such that we will ship these desks “On Approval” anywhere subject to our “Liberal Terms” (see page I ). Back View Notice rich matched grain effect. All built-up stock. What I wish to say is, your Desk is beyond praise. There is not one cheap thing about it and the finish is finer than my Pianola, which costs $250.00. C. O. Smith, Ashtabula, O. “Your desk came without a scratch. I have seen no desk that is equal to it in elegance of finish, in beauty of grain and in perfection of workmanship It goes far beyond my expectations.” W. A. Bellamy, Evansville, Ind. Gold Medals For superiority of design, material, construction, work- manship and finish we received the Gold Medal, the highest award, at both the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions. See page 1. 4 RICHEST, MATCHED, FIGURED QUARTERED OAK, GOLDEN VELVET FINISH. This desk is made as well as is possible to make a high grade desk. In design it is strong, refined and dignified. It possesses the many practical appointments characteristic of a genuine “Macey” desk. It is well believed that as a rule such thoroughly high grade furniture reflects in a very certain degree the quality of its user. These desks are made by us in such immense quantities that we have brought the factory price at which we offer them within the means of every one preferring a really good, practical, handsome, extra quality office desk. The entire writing bed, ends, back and extension slides are of heavy built-up quarter-sawed oak, beautifully matched to produce the most striking grain effects.

All drawers varnished inside. Anti-friction drawer construc- tion. Double deck top. Full base mould. Anti-friction casters. All drawers lock automatically by lowering the roll curtain and unlock automatically by raising the roll curtain.

Made only in style B, with drawers in both pedestals and with large double drawer for books, as illustrated. Special Feature — These desks are also supplied with the famous “Macey” Pasquil automatic curtain lock, the prime features of which are its great strength, therefore greater security, and the absence of strike plate or break in writing bed. This is the most modern and is, in every way, the very best desk lock ever produced. This valuable improvement is the result of many years of careful study.

See page 1. 16 Library Table and Table Desk MATCHED QUARTERED OAK, SELECTED, GOLDEN FINISH. One of the most useful and ornamental articles of home furniture is the table-desk. This kind of furniture is comparatively inexpensive and lends a tone of richness and strength to the library, living room or “den ” Just the right height for writing, reading or studying — an abundance of surface for books and papers, plenty of drawer space for stationery, pen and ink, etc. , where they may be had at any moment. In the construction of these table-desks only the most perfect of material obtainable has been selected and the workmanship and finish is of course characteristic of high-grade “Macey” furniture. No. 21 is an especially choice table-desk, having the entire top, front, back, ends and even the edges cross banded in order to produce the richest possible grain effects. This table has five spacious drawers, French legs and claw feet. Solid brass trimmings. The finish is in golden oak, our richest five-coat piano polish. No. 21 Price $64.00 Size 28 x 45.

See page r. we received the Gold Medal, the highest award, at 17 Just a Word about Leather Goods There is much opportunity for deception in making upholstered furniture (especially leather goods) for almost any grade of covering and springs can be used at the same time producing a handsome effect on the outside but the lasting qualities so essential in furniture of this character are rarely present. Library furniture is a permanent invest- ment and should be selected with greatest care. It is also well to bear in mind the manufacturer’s reputation. “Macey” furniture is constructed not merely to look well but to last a lifetime. The bases of all our couches and rockers are substantially constructed from perfect stock. The finish is all hand rubbed to a beautiful polish. The springs are of best quality oil-tempered steel. They never lose their elasticity, become misplaced or break. The understuffing is of best southern moss, which is a feature of high grade goods only. Such material as goat’s hair, excelsior, old rags, etc. are never used in our goods. The cushions are of finest imported curled horse hair. They are firm, yet soft and will retain their shape indefinitely. The leather is finest machine buffed stock. It is pliable, does not stretch and never wears rough, same as the spongy stock used in much of the furniture sold through retail dealers. We supply olive green shade regularly — maroon or russet to order. Best quality anti-friction castors are used exclusively. GENUINE MAHOGANY AND FINEST LEATHER. This luxurious soft cushioned Davenport is a splendid example of that un- pretentious yet rich and pleasing design which will be as popular and in as good taste twenty or thirty years hence as it is now. No library is too magnificient for it to beautify and no library is complete without it. Our net factory price is about one-halt the ordinary retail dealer’s price. The base is of genuine mahogany with hand carved claw feet all richly polished.

No. 662 Turkish Couch We have produced few couches at any price more popular and satisfactory than our No. 66->. The design is very pleasing — -the extra row of tufting and puffing produces a most luxurious and handsome effect. No. 662 — Length, 76 inches; width, 29 inches; weight, 140 pounds Price, $ 59.00 Gold Medclls For superiority of design, material, construction, workmanship and finish we received the Gold Medal, the hightst award, at both the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions. See page 1. 18 No. 677 Turkish Rocker There is something about a luxurious Turkish Rocker that appeals to almost everyone. All our furniture is designed with a special view to comfort and we guarantee every couch and chair manufactured will be found not only the best of its kind in material, construction and finish but exceedingly comfortable as well. Our No. 677 pattern is a simple though handsome and dignified design and one which is appropriate for almost any library. Since we first produced this pat- tern it has been very broadly imitated by some unscrupulous manufacturers who use inferior material in construction and offer it at prices for which no reliable chair can be sold. Advertised low prices without the high quality so essential to furniture of this description do not appeal to intel- ligent purchasers. No. 677 — Width, 33 inches, height, 41 inches, weight, xoo pounds. Price $59.00 Price with Harrington spring 65.00 For our “guarantee’’ and ‘ liberal terms” see page 1. No. 687 Turkish Rocker This is a particularly luxurious, re- fined and attractive design. It is moreover a most comfortable rocker, having full spring back, seat and arms, relieving them of the rigidity con- sidered objectionable in the highest grade of rockers. Observe the beautiful effect pro- duced by the diamond tufted back and arms. As a wedding or anniversary gift for a business associate, friend or relative, nothing is more appropriate than one of these handsome rockers. No. 687 — Width, 36 inches; height, 44 inches, weight, 130 pounds. Price $84.00. Note — Unless otherwise specified we supply deep olive green leather covering— maroon or russet can be furnished to order. For our “guarantee” and “liberal TERMS” see page 1. Gold Medals For superiority of design, material, con- struction, workmanship and finish we re- ceived the Gold Medal, the highest award, at both the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions. See page 1. 19 Turkish Couches The luxury of a soft cushioned comfortable couch is placed within the means of everyone. Every detail in the construction of these couches has been carefully studied. Observe that they are full size, finished all around and if desired can be used in the center of the room. For detailed description of material construction and finish see pages 18 and 19. The spacious box (8%x 24% x 66 inches) will accommodate an abundance of furs, clothes and other ma- terial which should be kept perfectly moth proof. An ingenious at- tachment (self raising spring) permits the top being raised with only slight effort. When closed the couch presents exact- ly the appearance of our No. 662 shown on page 18.

Are the “Standard of the World’ for quality. They received the Gold Medals — THE HIGHEST AWARDS— at both the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions. They cost more to make, but by buying direct from us (the makers) the cost to you is about the s une as other kinds (see price of a popular set of sections 1 elovv. Superior Advantages It is the only bookcasehaving absolutely “ N on-binding, 6V(/'-disappearing’ ’ doors It combines in the highest degree, convenience, imposing appearance, economy of space, protection to books, strength, sim- plicity, all at small expense. It is made of the choicest material and represents in design, woik- manship, superior mechanism and finish, the highest type of excel- ence — the very best that skilled labor can produce — there is no sectional bookcase so full of style or so well finished. Its extra quality and frictionless construction of “Non Binding, /^(/’-Disappearing” doors is as far in advance of all others as the mind can imagine. It recedes automatically upon being raised— no other bookcase has this feature — a door that cannot in any way bind, either from side to side or up and down — guaranteed to never bind with use or in any climate. Even when the door is pushed in from either end with but one hand it cannot bind. The ingenious device accomplishing this most important action enchances the value of the “Macey” bookcase many-fold. The mechanism, though so simple that it is guaranteed to never get out of order, is a considerable item of cost in manufacturing; yet the “Macey” sectional bookcase with all its highly practical improvements and extra quality of material, construction and finish, costs about the same as common ordinary style of poorly made, poorly finished sectional bookcases, with binding, wiggly doors and other objectional features that are unknown to the “ Macey.” It increases book space to meet the requirements of growing libraries, large and small. Not more than a dozen books are necessary to start with. Jrist tke correct number of sections can be bought at the begin- ning and added to one by one as the necessity demands. The expense of beginning is very small. Eventually an impos- ing. complete bookcase of many sections is possessed, yet the expense has been so distributed as sections have been added from time to time that the acquirement has not seemed a burden. Notice A patent recently acquired by us grants us the exclusive right to manufacture sectional bookcases with automatic self-receding doors, and all makers , sellers and users of sectional bookcases with self-receding doors are liable to be infringers of this patent. There has never been any doubt that the “Macey” Sectional Bookcase is the best on the market. It was the only bookcase re- ceiving the Gold Medals at both the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions. With the finest equipped factory in the world these bookcases are now being made better than ever and in buying direct from us, the makers , the cost to the user is about the same as other kinds and carries with it no liability on account of possible infring- ment of patents. We own and control more valuable patents on Sectional Bookcases than any other factory in the world. rur superiority o_i uesign, material, construction, workmansii and finish we received the Gold Medal, the highest award, at bo the Pan-American and Charleston Expositions.

This Bookcase has 5 sections; 1 Top— 1 base ( with drawer) 3 Book sections with glass doors, and each door has an ingenious device (patented by us) whereby it can never bind or stick in any climate, and when open recedes automatically over the books. All .doors are dust-proof. All it costs to learn all about the “Macey” Bookcase ^ New CCT is to ask for catalogue No. 1.

We are the only Company offering customers a choice of three distinct locking devices and each the best of their kind. We have a regularly organized department for this class of goods and today have best arranged — best equipped factory in the world for manufacturing High Grade Indexes and Filing Cabinets at the lowest possible cost. We sell direct to the user at factory prices and to those desiring to buy a Card Index System, Vertical Filing Cabinets, Sectional Filing Cabinets, Sectional Bookcases, etc. it will pay and pay well to write for our complete catalogues before ordering. These catalogues will be sent free on request. (See page 24). We manufacture card index cabinets with Three Styles of Card Locking Devices (1) “Macey” Side Locking Rods (patented). Observe that practically the whole card surface is available for writing. ( 2 ) The Solid Center Rod— guaranteed superior to all other solid center locking devices. ( 3 ) Duplex (folding) Center Rod (patented) — guaranteed superior to all other duplex center locking devices. We always recommend the “Macey” side locking device for economy of card space, strength, rigidity and certainty of action. Index Cards That part of our factory devoted to the manufacture of index cards is equipped with the latest and most up-to-date machinery, en- abling us to furnish our superior solid linen bristol, cut with sharp clean edges, square corners, carefully ruled and printed, at about the same prices as competitors quote on inferior grades. The cost of card index material is so small as compared with the cost of compiling the records that it is false economy to purchase anything but the best. For temporary records we have cheaper grades, and samples showing our varied weights and colors will be cheerfully sent on request. Applications The “ Macey” card system is equally well adapted for the small retail business and the largest corporation. Our book about “Business System” will contain suggestions which are all practical and which may be of special interest to you.

A few years ago it was necessary to buy a Letter File from one house, a Card System from another, a Document File from still another, etc. -all of different sizes, styles, woods and finishes, and when the growth of business demanded additional filing capacity, further cabinets and systems had to be purchased re- gardless of their not harmonizing with the bal- ance of the furniture on hand, and involving considerable useless expense and much annoy- ance. With the “Macey” Sectional System the interchangeable cabinets and systems for the care of all kinds of business or private papers or documents can be so arranged as to present the appearance of a single cabinet, and more sections may be added at any time without destroying the harmony of the single cabinet effect. Compact — handsome — durable. Also, the cost is less. All the sections will harmonize regardless of the varying depths — and the following kinds of sections (see illustration). Letter Files (small drawers). Vertical Letter Files (2 sizes). Catalogue Files. Card Index Systems (3 sizes of drawers). Pigeon-Hole Cases. Legal Blank Cases (3 sizes of Drawers).

Vertical Filing Cabinets Accuracy , quickness and con-ven- ience are the prime virtues of the “Macey” Vertical System of filing correspondence, catalogues, circulars, pamphlets, photographs, flat samples, etc. It has so many advantages over the old system of flat files, that it has become the popular mode of filing. Durability in every part marks the construction of these cabinets. The material used is especially selected and every cabinet is hand rubbed and pol- ished. The drawer extension device, guide retaining device, follower device and automatic locking device are mechanical features of the highest importance and of unequalled perfec- tion in operation.
