STYLES IN WALL PAPER.
New Patterns Produced Every Year

sons Trade.

"In England and Germany" said an
American wall paper man, they ge,
out new styles, to be sure, every year.
and plenty OF them. but they continue
more styles from year to year than we
do. Here we get out practically all new
styles every year.
The people expect them and the
dealers look for them and they mus;
have them. II we carried forward the
old styles dealer looking over book
of samples would say when he came 10
an old style: Why, here's something
we had last year And that wouldn't
do.
There may be few styles that havo
particularly caught the fancy and that
we run for second season. but prac'
tically all the wall papers offered here
at the beginning Of season are new.
when a season closes, about July
we have worked our stocks down just
as close and fine as we can, and after
that We begin getting ready for the
next season, almost a year ahead
There are many designers, men and
women, who devote themselves solely
TO wall paper designing, working az
that the year around, just as one might
at any profession or calling; and now
we begin getting ont the new papers
with new designs, or new colorings and
combinations of colorings. the new
styles thus produced numbering hun.
dreds annually.
And when our styles are all ready
and we have begun to print we make
up our sample books for the trade; we
get these out for the next season alonr
about January |. Like great aliases
these books are; only bigger, each book
containing hundreds OF pages, each page
Il wall paper sample of the full Width
of the paper and in length of page :
little longer than the width. enough L
