CEDAR CHEST FOR THAT BEST GIRL My! >n’t her heart leap with joy if a cedar chest chances to be her gift? Everybody admires the exceptional pretty finish that cedar wood takes. This enhanced by its copper trimming makes it a highly prized gift. Chests are practical. Moths will not—cannot—live in cedar atmosphere. Garments stored in them are insured. So the price of chests is nothing compared with the saving of valuable clothing. Our past experience is that cedar chests are well received. Why not decide on one yourself.
