It now competes only with Circassian Walnut and the finest of Mahogany, and does so upon a basis of equal desirability in the eyes of the most discriminative buyers. RED GUM offers a tremendous price advantage. TRY IT. Note this SUPERB RED GUM FURNITURE and TRIM in the DIRECTORS' ROOM, UNION NATIONAL BANK, STREATOR, ILL. (Building, equipment and furniture designed and executed by E. Jackson Casse Co., Chicago.)
