The book is organized in seven sections each with a heavy card cover sheet listing the category and page numbers of the section with printed tabs for easy reference. One of the tabs lists "Congoleum" but there is no material about the floor covering included and the page number has been left blank indicating that part of the catalog had yet to be printed rather than removed. There are the expected oversuffed chairs and turned spindle table legs.but a substantial portion of the sample book is dedicated to Arts and Crafts and Mission style. Of particular interest relating to bungalow decor are twenty-seven pages of "Fiber Reed Goods" featuring outstanding wickerwork furnishings and lamps for sunporches. The finishes available for these settles chairs swings lamp bases and shades et al are delectable. "Satin Finishes: Natural Fumed Nut Brown and Green" and "Enamel Finishes: Old Ivory Frosted Brown Frosted Mahogany Cafe au Lait Royal Blue Chinese Blue Bronze and Blue Bronze and Green Black and Gold and Verdi Copper." The last section of the book is dedicated primarily to "Baby Cabs" and Toys including wicker carriages and strollers. Fine illustrations of cycles metal cars wagons and scooters. The binding has quite a bit of staining and wear including some fraying of the cloth but both covers are complete and totally sound.

Giacomo Lauro was a printmaker active in the map and view industry of mid-sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century Rome. The Temple was built in 500BC on the site of an even older shrine dedicated to Saturn. It was reconstructed in 42BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus a Roman Consul who was an officer in Julius Caesars army during the conquest of Gaul. He installed the Treasury of the Roman Republic here where it remained until 28BC. It was destroyed by fire in 283AD but later rebuilt. All that remains today are eight columns and a part of the pediment which bears a Latin inscription. In English it reads: The Senate and the people of Rome restored what fire consumed. Saturn who was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Kronos was the god of agriculture and the harvest or of life and death. Like Kronos he was represented as a hooded figure bearing a scythe. Because he was afraid of being overthrown he ate his all his children apart from Jupiter Neptune and Pluto whom for some reason he could not swallow. In time his fears became reality; he was overthrown by Jupiter who became the king of the Roman gods. unknown books
