‘Enchanted Garden’ and ‘Dream
Garland’ One-Look Ensembles
Are Highlighted In Series
Fieldcrest’s national advertising for
spring 1961 features Enchanted Garden
and Dream Garland, our newest ‘one-
look’ fashions for bed and bath.
The Enchanted Garden ad, showing
hand-screen printed oriental poppies on
sheets, blanket, coverlet, towel, and
shower curtain, appears in The New
Yorker for March 18, and will be car

Magazine, on sale April 15, and in the
May issue of Living for Young Home
makers, on sale April 20.
The Dream Garland ad, showing
spring flowers entwined on sheets,
blanket, coverlet, towels, and shower
curtain, will appear in the May issue
of House and Garden, The New Yorker
for May 20, and the mid-summer
Modern Bride, on sale May 14.
These two ads have a two-fold pur
pose: (1) to advance Fieldcrest’s repu
tation for beauty, quality, and fashion
leadership, and (2) to give stores con
crete ideas for coordinated window or
departmental displays.
To demonstrate the feasibility of such
displays, both of the ad settings have
been duplicated in vignette form in
Fieldcrest’s New York Showroom.
Other ads to appear feature Royal
Satin sheets in the April issue of House
Beautiful, on sale March 20, and Im
perial Brocade towels in the April 22
