The bracing barely visible at the corners was, when I examined them, strips of thin sheet metal, literally tacked onto the wood. The seat and leg sections were bolted together and this design obviously was what Roth wanted. How they stood up as well as they did around that Barnes show is a wonder.

If you want to look at some really old stuff, you need to work a day at Richmond, Illinois into your vacation plans this summer. It should be like a second Christmas. Wrong, anonymous. I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about cat props.
Your friend,
