stered, set back in place, fitting flush with face of wood left for frame. Full Upholstered Backs: A veneer back with framed edges. Upholstering material is placed inside of frame and the covering then drawn over the entire front face of back and around frame. The covering is then fastened to the back with what is known as "tack and gimp" or concealed or tackless fastening. In "tack and gimp" fastening, the edge of the material covering is simply tacked on the edge of the veneer backing, and a strip of the upholstering material tacked around to conceal the raw edges. This method, while cheapest, is unsatisfactory, as the covering very easily pulls away from the tacks. Also, the gimped edge tempts patrons to pick at it. The "con- cealed or tackless" fastening consists in draw- ing the upholstering material completely around the edges of the back and fastening onto the rear, an extra veneer being then screwed on the rear of the back. This meth- od gives better appearance and service. Springs can be used with this type of back for a cushion effect, adding to the cost of the back, but giving very little, if any, addi- tional comfort. 76
