His conception started a fash ion, the popularity of which has remained to this day. Fostoria developed the idea, and shaped molten glass along similar lines; producing Spool crystal pieces as lovely as they are unique. Each lucent fluting is like a convex mirror that re flects surrounding colors danc ing in silver pools. Spool crystal is a daring con ception. It has captured the imagination of those who ad mire old traditions made up in a modern manner. Pictured above are the new Spool floating garden, vase and compote. There are many other pieces for "your selection; avail able in clearest crystal, Azure- Tint or Cold-Tint. W. M. WALL Elkin's Leading Jeweler Phone 56 Elkin, N. C.
