Provides space for toilet articles, underwear, ties, men's furnishings, shaving materials, photographs, and knickknacks.

This piece was made to meet a need in the far North, where the small accommodations required an article that would contain all the necessary toilet outfit and accessories needed by a man. The space below the mirror is open and has two broom-handle supports across it. A splasher hangs from the lower support and towels hang upon the upper one.

Construction

Make the legs, two 12 inches longer than twice the outside depth of the lower cupboard boxes, and two 12 1/2 inches longer than twice the outside depth of the lower cupboard boxes and twice the outside length of the upper boxes combined. Remove the ends from the four lower cupboard boxes and the cover from the packing-box. Lay two lower cupboard boxes on their sides one upon the other, and nail together through the abutting sides. Do the same with the other two lower cupboard boxes. Make the packing-box the same width as the depth of a pair of the lower cupboard boxes. Place the packing-box on its end and set a pair of the lower cupboard boxes on their sides upon it. Match their edges and nail together. Join the other pair to the other end of the packing-box in the same manner, having all the openings facing alike. Turn them all over so the openings will all face up, and put on the corner legs and the facing strip legs. Reverse, having the openings down, and nail on the rear legs, allowing all the legs to project 12 inches below the bottom face. Turn it right side up on its legs and nail the top on, having its rear edge even with the outside face of the rear legs, allowing it to project at the ends and in front 1/2 inch over the outside face of the legs. Remove the covers from two of the remaining boxes. Stand one box on its end and set another box upon it endwise, then nail together and put in the shelves at the height desired. Do the same with the other two boxes and set each pair in its place on the top, having their backs even with the lower portion of the stand. Put the facing strips on the end of the lower portion and also on the ends and over the front edge of each of the upper portions, having their outer edges even with the outside edge of the closets. Fit and hang the doors and screw on the pull-knobs and buttons. Screw two hooks in the under-side edge of the top of the packing-box, and cut and lay a broom handle in them, upon which may be arranged a sliding curtain. Cut two broom handles to fit between the upper closets, and place them about as shown, and fasten them with a nail driven through the side of the closet box into their ends - the lower one to carry a splasher and the upper one for towels. A mirror may also be fitted as shown. Put on the upper top, keeping its rear edge even with the outer face of the rear legs, allowing it to project 1/2 inch over the outer face of the legs at the ends and 1/2 inch over the facing strips in front.
