Inscriptions typed on applied label affixed to verso, OA: 6/11/45 \ LOW-COST FURNITURE INVENTED BY NEW YORK CITY ARCHITECT \ This table and porch chair, which were invented by \ Ferdinand Kramer, a New York City architect, can be taken \ apart and then reassembled with great ease by any house- \ holder. Beds, tables, chairs and cabinets are made of \ wood or plastic materials. The back and seat of the \ chair pictured here are made of plastic webbing. The cost \ of the furniture is low because there is no assembly pro- \ blem. The flexibiilty is exemplified by the fact that sec- \ tions can be added to a table, for example, if more space \ is needed. / SERVICED BY NEW YORK TO LIST A. \ NOT FOR USE IN WESTERN HEMISPHERE \ APPROVED BY APPROPRIATE U.S. AUTHORITY \ 41737–PWW
