York Rests: His fame rests on his invention of the character "Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford," a rascally but likable company promoter who was the hero of many of Chester's books, beginning with Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford (1908) and including Young Wallingford (1910) and Wallingford in His Prime (1913). With his second wife, Lillian De Rimo, Chester collaborated on several novels and plays. After World War I he entered the film industry as a writer and director but returned to magazine writing in 1921. He died in New york rests City on Feb. 26, 1924.
There are two shapes for box-spring sections, the plain and rabbeted. The plain type fits within the side boards of the bed and rests on the bed slats or metal angle irons, or when no bedframe exists can be furnished with legs. The edges of the rabbeted type are designed with a shelf that rests on the top of the bedframe. Beds that have a frame but no footboard should be equipped with the rabbeted type, but the plain box-spring with legs will give the same effect if no bedframe exists. When a single decorative headboard is used for twin beds placed closely to appear as a double bed, each box-spring should be on casters and hinged to the side of the headboard, to enable it to swing open for convenience when making the bed.
He was graduated at Hamilton College in 1864, and at the New york rests University Law School in 1867. In the latter year he was admitted to the bar and entered upon the practice of his profession in New york rests. In 1883 he was appointed United States District Attorney for the southern district of New york rests; in 1894 was a delegate-at-large to the New york rests State Constitutional Convention, and was chairman of the judiciary committee. |
