Not on view

Although plagued by financial struggles, a common trend among businesses that worked on the basis of commissions, George A. Schastey continued to grow his cabinetmakingfirm. He opened a branch in Springfield, Massachusetts, in April of 1890, and used this facility to create a line of stock furniture, largely in the Colonial Revival style. While the pamphlet references the prominent families for whom the firm created custom creations, it primarily promotes the company’s new modestly priced line of furnishings.
