Description

"The softest thing you can sleep on is steel"

"Young man, aren't you ashamed--calling on a girl and falling asleep. We'll be your father never did that! "What's that? You say father never had such comfortable chairs in his day? Maybe not." Today's wonderfully constructed chairs with springs inside made of USS Premier Spring Wire are the last word in comfort. We admit it. And makers of the finest upholstered furniture, who build long-lasting quality into their chairs, use the Premier Tag to mark this "hidden value." In the store, you'll see this USS Premier Tag hanging on some particularly nice chair. That's a chair worth owning. Sit in such a chair, next time you buy. You'll see!"

Wow, almost 10 years after acquiring this piece, I finally found the published ad that it was used for! This particular ad appeared in the May 1941 issue of Ladies' Home Journal. For me, it's probably one of the funnest parts of this hobby! Robert O. Reid is best known for his drawings of beautiful, doe-eyed women and goofy-looking everymen, and I'm so happy to have this example in my collection! An under-rated talent to be sure!
