The desk was made by me as a manual
training class project in West High School,
Green Bay, Wisconsin, during the school
year 1928-29, the first year in the new
building. Mr. Leaonard F. Stacker was the
teacher.
The desk has a flat top on tapered legs.
There is one wide drawer. Lumber species
is butternut, stained walnut color.
Dimensions: 29 inches high, 30 inches wide,
and 18 inches deep.

Comode
This piece of furniture was my Grandmother
Cardinal's. I don't know its previous history,
but she gave up house keeping in 1913, so it
must have been old then. It was a dark stained
finish, painted white in the 1920's for use
in our bath room. One of the towel rack bars
was broken as early as I remember and has
been removed.
