Extract from Sydney Morning Herald of  

August 15th, 1888, referring to the exhibits in the  

United States Court, Centennial International  

Exhibition, Melbourne, says “ little more to  

the Westward, the visitor finds platform on  

which are placed number of Hammoquette  

Reclining Chairs, one of the latest things from that  

ingenious class of Americans who devote their lives  

to the invention of objects which shall minister to  

the fastidious tastes of the invalid, or meet the  

luxurious demands of the wealthy. The Hammo-  

quette Chair, constructed mainly of American ash,  

coloured to resemble mahogany, is shown by R. B.  

Jones, Bridge-street, Sydney, and can, at will,  

be made to assume great variety of shapes. It is  

difficult to conceive more valuable addition to  

sick room, library, study, or verandah, than the  

Hammoquette Chair must prove.”  

 

Parliament House, Melbourne,  

Mr. R. B. Jones.  

Dear Sir, have much pleasure in stating  

that the nine chairs purchased from you have  

given me every satisfaction. —Yours truly,  

M. H. DAVIES, M.L.A.,

that the two “ Hammoquette Reclining  

Chairs you supplied me with some months  

since prove very satisfactory. consider  

them the best thing of the sort that has come  

under my notice.—Yours truly, THOMAS  

SAYWELL, Sydney.  

Sir, —I have had one of your  

“Patent Hammoquette Chairs ” in  

use for the last eighteen months.  

It was presented to me on the eve  

of my departure for New Zealand.  

found it most comfortable and  

easy during rough voyage, and  

whenever left it it was sure to be  

“jumped” by some lady. The  

chair has been in constant use in  

my house ever since, and is in  

complete repair. All who have  

used it proclaim it to be the most  

comfortable and cool reclining  

chair they ever sat in.—Yours  

truly, R. LYONS, “Ellerslie,”  

Rockhampton, Queensland.
