| Notes: |
The copy starts: "Remember the clumsy old-fashioned kind of suite that used to clutter up the "parlour"? It was always the same - an over-stuffed settee and two over-stuffed chairs identical in their overwhelming size and ugly shape...You had to have all the pieces even if you did not want to." This is then contrasted with modern G-Plan: "...each G-Plan piece can be combined with other pieces in harmonious arrangements of your own devising. Why not adopt this new idea of furnishing? You don't need to buy all the pieces at once - you can start in a small way and add other pieces later." |
