Will be a silk quilt, the work of Mrs.
Florence Bell of Denver, former
slave. who. previous to her death. in
1895. was in the household of Mr.
Bambright in Jackson county Mis-
souri,.
The quilt is made of the finest quail
ity of silk thread and contains 3lS
spools. Mrs. Bell spent three years in
finishing it. and the quilt is odd on ac-
count OF the interesting history sur
rounding the owner and the manner in
which it was made.
Mrs. Bell, although a slave. acquired
good general education through her
own efforts. She was born in 1858 and
after she became the property of the
Bambright family during her girlhood.

make the quilt in 1890
The quilt was submitted to Herman
Lueders. secretary of the board of cap
itol managers. by John l.. Bell, the
janitor on the second floor of the cap
itol. husband of Florence Bell. Bell
himself is an ex-slave and before the
abolition of slavery he was owned by
Octavis Wall of Ray county. Missouri.
Bell was born in 1919 and although he
never learned to read and write until
he was twenty-cight years old, the let
ter accompanying the quilt is excep-
tionally well written. with few mis-
takes in the spelling. Bell states that
when he was purchased forty-four
years ago. he was chosen among nine
other slaves, and that next July he

To the housewife who has not yet

and who is reasonably satisfied with

to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con
tains 16 ozs.. while all the other kinds
