18443—2 880 TRADE AND COMMERCE This chair is an American make and was quoted at .50 a dozen. The advant-age of this chair is that when nested it makes a compact parcel, as shown in theillustration. It is a comfortable and strong chair and at the price quoted was cratedin one dozen lots, two parcels of a half dozen each. Several of the dealers here say-that it can be shipped without crating, and this should help to reduce the price. Prices at present are higher, and for a similar chair a .50 quotation shouldsecure good business, if ocean freight rates will allow placing of orders.
