What's a four-besider?

Dear Editor: In a winter 1960-61 issue your newspaper carried a classified ad offering for sale a "four-besider with a built-in hemingway." Many readers contacted the newspaper to ask what this item might be. That is my question now.

Dear Editor:

Many readers contacted the newspaper to ask what this item might be.

That is my question now. Can anyone explain what this item was? Did anyone own such an item? Was it popular , perhaps among city folk?

Thank you for any information you can provide.
