vi. Advertisements FLIGHT JULY 3RD, 1941 A typical example of one ofChippendale's early chairs. MASTERS OF ENGLISH CRAFTSMANSHIP THE end of the seventeenth century was a hardtime for English Cabinetmakers, who were almost put out of business by an invasion of foreigners following an unfortunate fashion. It was Thomas Chippendale who, by the beauty of his designs and the wonderful accuracy of his workmanship, showed that English craftsmen were still the finest of all. In tlie eighteenth century the great triumphs of cabinet work were by Englishmen, and, as everyone knows, examples of work by Chippendale himself are used, admired and eagerly sought after still. In the Pullin Organization to-day an able manage- ment controls designers, joiners, cabinetmakers and men of many of the trades jealously maintaining the good English standards of workmanship that served Chippendale so well. They do not boast of their products, but they know the Royal Navy, the Army ^nd the Royal Air Force are using them, and are glad to be worthy of the Services that have proved them- selves second to none in the world. fl B.
