CHARACTER
I N S I L V E R W A R E
The mark sterling on a niece of silverware stands i
ly for the metal from which the article is made. The char
acter of the silver depends on the ability of the designer and
the skill of the workman. The difference in price oetween
the commonplace and the exclusive is only enough to keep
the more distinctive lines from becoming common.
This season we are showing patterns of unusual merit.
Every line of these patterns Is absolutely perfect. The pro
portion of the handles, the size and shape of the bowls of
the spoons and the tines of the forks, are just enough diff
erent to show the great care that has been taken by the
manufacturers to get up-something to appeal to people of
good taste and artistic appreciation.
To realize the class of these new patterns you must see
them. We shall be pleased to have you call, whether as a
intending purchaser or just to see this beautiful silverware.
