I saw an old advertisement for something called “non-stop furniture”. It could have been a typo, but I’m not sure.


It certainly sounds curious.  If it’s not a typo nor a joke, what could non-stop furniture mean?

      No, not when I say you made a good point, because you did. You pointed out an angle that I hadn’t considered, and I am grateful for it.  That’s why I posted the question, to get others’ perspectives.

      Thanks!  (The one I saw was from the 1950s or 1960s, pre-internet.)

    Might be a self-propelled rocking chair. :)

    A made up term to get people's attention.

    Furniture on wheels; when you want to get rid of it just take it outside and give a good kick.
