The Goldsmith Company, a
Portland-based wholesale dis
tributor with offices in Seattle,
services major Fieldcrest retail
accounts in the Northwest.
The firm’s association with
Fieldcrest dates from ties
formed over 30 years ago when
Goldsmith was selected as the
exclusive distributor in the
Northwest for the entire Field
crest line.
The Kingman painting was
commissioned by Fieldcrest as a
part of the Dong Kingman
“Watercolor Scenes’’ collection
introduced by Fieldcrest in 1975.
It is an imaginative reflection
of one of the sniall outdoor
plazas scattered throughout
Rome, and illustrates the best
aspects of the renowned King-
man talent — namely, his
brilliant use of colors and his
distinctive, free-flowing sense of
form.
Satisfied Customer
Praises Fieldcrest
The company has received the following unsolicited letter
from a consumer who is well pleased with her Royal Velvet
towels. She praised Fieldcrest for high quality and good work
manship:
Dear Sirs:
1 have never written a letter such as this before, but I felt
I ought to give credit where credit is due.
I received two bath towels and washcloths (white, mono-
grammed) in Royal Velvet when 1 was married and I am still
using them! They have received hard wear for the last 13
years but have been used for a total of 25 years in June.
Needless to say, when 1 possibly can I purchase Royal Vel
vet. 1 have others (Royal Velvet) that have been in hard use
for 13 years. I am often upset by shoddiness and poor work
manship in today’s market, but know that 1 am getting my
money’s worth in your products.
Sincerely,
Mrs. E. M. Sellars
