The Giant Chest of Drawers
A chest of drawers 38 feet tall stands on North Hamilton Street in High Point, North Carolina, with two socks six feet long hanging out of a half open drawer. It is a building. The High Point Chamber of Commerce put up the original in 1926, at a cost of about 5,000 dollars in cash and donated materials, as its offices and its bureau of information, shaped as a period bureau with a painted mirror reading The Industrial City.
