Blackpool, the fa.Airite Lancashire pleasure resort., has found a new industry—one which solves the difficult holiday problem of putting a quart into a pint pot. A small factory was lately Avorkins overtime making bedcouches on which the surplus Easter visitors could sleep. In the coming summer, two and two will make twice four. When every bedroom in every hotel and apartment house is full, comfortable sleeping accommodation will still be available. Instead of chesterfield couches and easy chairs, one buys bed-couches and bed-chairs. They look exactly the same; but at a touch they turn into beds, with spring mattresses, bedding and pillows that were securely tucked away inside.
