The Times Furnishing Company was a national company selling furniture on hire purchase to new homeowners. This brochure shows schemes for furnishing a one room flat, which would have been aimed at city dwellers, mainly in London where space was such a problem.
As they said: 'The one room flat is ideal for a business man or woman providing, of course, it is well planned and wisely furnished.'
