Alden’s “New” Ideal Book Case.
Alden’s Ideal Revolving Book-Case, No. 3. Has four shelves, adjustable, giving 136 inches of shelf room; size of case, 19 inches wide, 12 inches deep, 40 inches high, or four feet, including the base, Is made of perfectly kiln-dried cherry birch, with birds-eye maple panels; hand carved; built on ingenious but simple interlocking principles, doing away, mainly, with screws, nails or glue; may be knocked down and set up again in five minutes; price $10.00 at store. No. 4, similar to No. 3, but without the birds-eye panels, and “solid” instead of “knock down;” price $8.00 at store.
Alden’s “New” Ideal Revolving Book Case, above described, ready May 1, 1889, is a great improvement upon the styles heretofore sold. The new is supported from the top instead of at the base, as formerly, thus standing firmer and revolving more freely; the “knock-down” feature of No. 3 is a triumph of mechanical ingenuity; the workmanship and the material used, in both styles, are a great advance on those formerly sold—this is high praise, indeed, considering the delightful satisfaction the book cases have given in the past, but our patrons will find our estimate just; this, we think, comes very near to being a “perfect” book case!
